Iowa Seeks Uniform Data on Human Trafficking Arrests
Mike Ferrak of the Iowa Department of Justice says there are no reliable statistics on human trafficking arrests due to differing classifications. The FBI began national data collection in 2013, and Ferrak notes cases in Iowa since 2005 may not be labeled as trafficking. He urges public vigilance and reporting via 911 or the trafficking hotline.
