The Gwinnett County Police Department is working to address rumors that have circulated on social media of attempted abductions and sex trafficking in the county. Gwinnett Police will host an informational session on the realities of human trafficking 6:30 to 8 p.m. Dec. 18 at Police Headquarters, 70 Hi-Hope Road in Lawrenceville. The class will cover what human trafficking is, Georgia statistics and laws, how to identify victims, who traffickers are, and what the community can do to combat human trafficking.

Given the graphic nature of human trafficking, this class is recommended for those 16 years old and older. Class size is limited to 120 people on a first come first serve basis. Questions and/or to RSVP: MPO Ashley M. Wilson at Ashley.wilson@gwinnettcounty.com. Additional training dates will be added if the class fills up quickly.
