    Due to lack or inadequate training, it is difficult for law enforcement officers to identify a human trafficking case thus hard to investigate the suspected trafficking case. According to research most of the law enforcement agencies hardly realized the acts of human trafficking and most of them had officials who could not handle such situations due to lack of training. This inadequacy cultivated the growth of such an act to a higher level such that by the time they realized its impact, it was almost too late.

    Predictive Policing Compare and contrast the application of information technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets. For many decades police departments have had to rely on their gut instincts on where they should patrol. While this may work for the experienced police officers in smaller towns, but this process does not work well in the large populated areas.

    In addition to legislation on human trafficking, criminal justice systems must turn their attention to educating law enforcement officers about the nature and extent of trafficking, while also equipping them with the tools essential to handling these cases. Adequate training is necessary for law enforcement to understand the intricacies of trafficking cases and how to investigate them properly. Farrell, Owens, and McDevitt (2014) stress the need for such specialized training in order for law enforcement officers to embrace new legislation on trafficking, and to understand how to respond to these sensitive cases. Other criminal justice professionals, such as prosecutors, judges, and court personnel, can also benefit from specialized human trafficking
