Benton Harbor Hotel Battles Sex Trafficking
A Benton Harbor hotel helped stop a human trafficking crime last year
BENTON HARBOR — Last year alone, more than 150 sex trafficking cases were reported in Indiana and Michigan —some right here in Michiana.
Southwest Michigan Human Trafficking Task Force is training businesses through webinars and also raised money to help train local law enforcement.
In fact, a month from today the FBI and Attorney General’s Office are offering training in Berrien County for police.

Michigan has nearly three times Indiana’s number of reported trafficking cases every year — for more statistics, you can visit the National Human Trafficking Resource Center https://traffickingresourcecenter.org/state/michigan
