On today’s episode of The “Center,” we’re joined by Deputy Chief of Police Jim Ballauer and Corporal Joshua Winter of the Clinton Police Department for an update on the landscape of human trafficking in both the City of Clinton, Iowa, and its neighboring communities.
This week’s podcast is one in a continuing partnership with the Clinton Police Department to educate the public about the modes of human trafficking present in Clinton, and how the public can respond to the constantly changing landscape of trafficking within our community.
