Beshear, Truckers Against Trafficking Partner

Attorney General Andy Beshear announced today that his office is partnering with the Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) Coalition to find ways to offer more training to Kentucky commercial drivers and truck stop employees in recognizing and reporting human trafficking. Beshear said the main goal of the coalition is to offer training to all new drivers seeking a commercial driver’s license. Consisting of law enforcement and members of the trucking industry, TAT’s mission is to collaborate to close loopholes to traffickers who exploit victims and legitimate businesses for criminal gain. Beshear also said working with the trucking industry is critical to help Kentucky overcome the common misconception of what trafficking looks like.
