(The Center Square) – Montana officials are warning people about the dangers of human trafficking and how to identify and report suspected cases.
Attorney General Austin Knudsen, whose office put out the public service announcement, says ending human trafficking is a top priority.
“At the Montana Department of Justice, we are increasing our investigations and committed to holding human traffickers accountable,” Knudsen said in a press release.
The attorney general’s office says possible signs of human trafficking include young people who are hesitant to engage in conversation or make eye contact, people with difficulty responding to questions about their name or location, people wearing clothing that don’t match the climate, and people accompanied by “a dominating person or someone they seem fearful of” at the time.
