In preparation for World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on July 30, Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Story County Deputy Sheriff Elizabeth Quinn are working together to raise awareness about the dangers of the crime and ways to prevent it.
Secretary Pate launched the Iowa Businesses Against Trafficking (IBAT) initiative in January 2022, which encourages its nearly 700 members to “Learn Something” and “Do Something” to raise awareness and combat human trafficking across the state. IBAT is a component of Iowa's Safe at Home program, which offers address confidentiality to survivors of trafficking, sexual abuse, domestic violence, assault, and stalking.
Iowa law enforcement agencies are critical in investigating human trafficking. Deputy Sheriff Elizabeth Quinn with the Story County Sheriff's Office has dedicated much of her career tackling human trafficking and spent six months working in the Human Trafficking and Child Protection Division with International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL).
Secretary Pate and Deputy Sheriff Quinn discussed their efforts with KIOW/KHAM News Director A. J. Taylor and the full interview can be heard on our Sunday Talk beginning at 7:30am Sunday morning.
