Attorney General can prosecute trafficking cases statewide

Any state or local law enforcement agency can send findings from a human trafficking case to the Attorney General. The Attorney General may, in the Attorney General's sole discretion, investigate and prosecute those cases anywhere in Idaho. This law is in effect now.

State anti-trafficking training, help, and reports

The Attorney General employs needed attorneys, investigators, and staff to do anti-trafficking work using the office’s funds. The office creates and keeps training materials for prosecutors, police, victim advocates, and the public. When asked, the Attorney General helps county prosecutors and other agencies investigate and prosecute trafficking. By January 1 of each even-numbered year, the Attorney General publishes a report on Idaho’s progress and next steps. These duties are in effect now.
