Representatives from the Yellowstone Human Trafficking Task Force spoke for more than an hour to members of the committee, which includes legislators and representatives from multiple state agencies. State law enforcement officers are only required to have four hours of training on human trafficking. The task force is a nonprofit co-founded in 2016 by Penny Ronning, who also spoke to the council — her mother was a human trafficking victim, she said. “There’s a need for those victims who have been incarcerated to be identified as victims of human trafficking,” Ronning said. “It seems that the internet has a huge impact on human trafficking,” Regier said last week.
