The Department of Defense Instruction, Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) establishes DoD policy on CTIP and assigns responsibilities. The instruction requires heads of all DoD components to conduct an annual CTIP awareness training program for all Component members and provide data to OSD (P&R) needed to compile its annual CTIP report.

The last of our planned training modules on law enforcement was fielded in January 2009. This module was developed at the U.S. Army Military Police School. The focus is on TIP identification, investigation, and information reporting and sharing with civilian or host nation law enforcement agencies. This training is mandatory for Law Enforcement personnel. (LE Memo)
A PowerPoint Presentation is also available for Law Enforcement training. These are authorized to be used as an alternative method to the online training.
Save the presentations to your files. This will allow you to view the notes and the answers to questions. You will also be able to sign the certificate at the end.
The law enforcement module will review general TIP awareness training; identify the crime of TIP; actions to take, and will provide scenarios for an appropriate response.
