PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley says his office’s state Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) is hosting a human trafficking training conference this week in Pierre.

“Human trafficking happens here in South Dakota, and it is important that we all work together to address this issue,” said Attorney General Jackley. “We owe it to the victims and their families.”

The training is the first ever of its kind hosted by the Attorney General’s Office and DCI. More than 65 participants from law enforcement, local governments, tribes, non-profit organizations, and state government agencies are attending the two sessions being held this week at the Mickelson Law Enforcement Training Center.

A session for law enforcement officers about investigations on the Dark Web.

Mary Beth Holzwarth, the Human Trafficking Coordinator for the State Division of Criminal Investigation, coordinated the conference and brought in Foundation United National Training Cadre to deliver the content. Topics include discussion on human trafficking trends, risk factors that lead to human trafficking, various forms of human trafficking, and how to navigate the Dark Web and conduct operations.

Speakers include a survivor of human trafficking.

“Human trafficking damages individuals, families, and communities,” said Attorney General Marty Jackley. “The key issue being stressed this week is collaboration; working together to address this serious crime.”

  1. but all this human trafficking stuff is a QAnon conspiracy theory! I heard that on CNN!

    1. Nice try, Anne. I haven’t heard anyone attribute human trafficking as a conspiracy theory. Those left wingers you are trying to dog have been screaming about it for years on our reservations. Republicans have drug their feet for years on the issue until it started to be white girls.

      1. I’ll see if I can find the clip. It was a CNN story about the movie, The Sound of Freedom. They actually said it was a hard right QAnon conspiracy theory

        1. OF COURSE they overtly marketed the film directly to q-anon, given q-anon’s constant fight against the pedophiles of hollywood. not really hypocrisy here.

        2. UPDATE – ok now i see some of the plot points were based on q-anon pedophile conspiracy theories and that’s where some were having problems. ok then.

          1. The second you hear someone mention adrenochrome or you see Jim Caviezel, you’ve gone beyond “the election was stolen” and well into modern day Salem. This is why so many people think the “protect the kids” stuff is signaling. It feels targeted at a very specific audience.
