A new report says human trafficking is happening right here in Wisconsin.
¶
The report shows most law enforcement agencies haven't received any training to recognize the crime, and don't consider it a problem.
The study, from the State Office of Justice Assistance, is the first to try to gauge the extent of human trafficking in the state.
It calls for more training to help recognize cases where people are forced into commercial sex or labor.
The State Senate is set to vote on a bill next week that would make human trafficking illegal in Wisconsin.
