Law Enforcement Training in the Wings

Today we met our Shasta County Sheriff, Tom Bosenko, at his office in Redding. He is a warm and friendly man with a lot of great stories and insight. He had many helpful suggestions as to the safety and security of the young girls that will soon find hope, healing, and shelter here at Faith's Place. We discussed working together with other law enforcement agencies in and around our area on a training to bring awareness to those on the front lines to recognize and properly identify victims of sex trafficking. Other agencies outside our area have offered to be a part of this training like Chief of Police of Truckee, California, Nick Sensley who has extensive knowledge of human trafficking here in our nation and abroad. We were blessed to hear him speak at a Congressional Hearing on Human Trafficking last month in Sacramento. The FBI will also be sending, Special Agents, of the Human Trafficking Task Force, Minerva Shelton and Janice Dean, up from Sacramento to help with the presentation. Partnering with us as hosts of the event will be our own 'justice family' from Bethel Church and the Redding Area Soroptimists Clubs who have worked to eradicate Sex Trafficking globally, as one of their goals, since 2007. Way to go ladies! We are very excited to be a part of this endeavor. Thanks to all of you who have supported us and iBranches as we continue to forge ahead with our vision, mission, and objectives. You are all an important part of the team. Bless.... Greg and Teresa
