November 10, 2008 - After a year of work, New Hampshire’s Interagency Commission on Human Trafficking released its report, The Hidden Problem of Human Trafficking: Addressing Modern Day Slavery in New Hampshire at a press conference at the Legislative Office Building. Captain Robert Quinn of the NH State Police believes that New Hampshire needs to start raising awareness and implementing trainings. “It is extremely important to increase our knowledge on the issue of human trafficking,” he stated. “Without training, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other key stakeholders throughout the state, we are in serious danger of not holding traffickers accountable, while innocent men, women and children are continually victimized.” Monday’s press conference was attended by advocates, legislators, law enforcement and U.S. Attorney Tom Colantuono and Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Zuckerman.
