Provincial Highway Enforcement Officers with Digital Government and Service NL will be participating in the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative from February 20 to 24, 2023.

During this initiative, officers will raise awareness by passing out wallet cards to commercial drivers during inspections and traffic stops. These wallet cards include the warning signs to look for that may indicate someone is the victim of human trafficking, and how to report a suspected case.

The Human Trafficking Prevention program seeks to reduce human trafficking throughout North America through co-ordinated enforcement and educational awareness measures within the commercial motor vehicle industry.
