how much trafficking is coming to the attention of agencies that work with trafficking survivors. what we have done for the past few years as put out a report on human trafficking where we gather data from a number of different agencies and collate it. we don't offend our colleagues at the department of environment i do not have hard copies for you. it is electronically on our website. you can look it up if you are a data geek. in our last report, which came out earlier this year and covers data from 2016, we had agencies identifying 529 cases of human trafficking in san francisco. there is a big *-asterisk because our data is duplicated, meaning the police department is quite likely reporting on some of the same cases as huckleberry youth programs or child protective services because we get aggregate numbers and we don't have a way of de- duplicating them. we know that there are a lot of cases that are never even coming to the surface. this just gives you a sense. i don't have time to get into a lot of the details sound demographics, but the really sad statistic is that survivors

when isis was around, trafficking was at its peak. traffickers paid isis a tax so they could send migrants across the sea to europe. we're talkg three or four atloads every day, millions of dollars per month. sometimes they would et terrorists on the migrant ships to europe. i heard this directly from the biggest trafficker in sabratha. he happens to be my cousin. >> reporter: sorry, your cousin is a migrant trafficker.i diderstand that correctly? >> ( translated ): yes. he is my cousin. me, i'm an officer of the law. >> reporter: tribal bonds run i deepn sabratha, but that doesn't mean everyone gets along with those in their tribe. >> ( translated ): he innds me threatmessages. he wants to kill me. >> reporter: dabashi plays the most recent death thre s cousin calls him "the biggest cockroach he's ever seen." "even if you're r, an armored he continues, "i will burn you alive inside. you will see my revenge." the two cousins eventually met in battle. late last year, libyan security forces attacked traffickers positioned at the cient r

i want to ask about human trafficking. do you have any sense that there's actually an increase, or are we just now learning more and getting more data? >> i believe there's an increase in reporting. we did, working with some of the advocacy groups this past year, we actually implemented with the commission a policy that really the purpose and intent was to enlist the cooperation of some of the folks that are out being trafficked. and a lot of these folks are people that work in the sex trade, and what ends up happening is oftentimes they are reluctant to report the violence that happens against them, because they are afraid that -- if they report it, then the things that they are doing to make a living, like working in the sex trade, is going to come back and bite them and we are going to arrest them for that. so basically, we in working with the advocacy groups, our policy now is, if you're being, you know, brutalized by the person that's trafficking you, we're not really worried about the misdemeanor sex violation or the

to look like real drug traffickers they needed a substantial amount of cash to launder into konami's network and that is where the strategy and taxpayer came into the picture. to federal law enforcement agencies put up the money this is one of the more interesting parts of the strategy going back to our c.e.o. and pitching to him that we needed a quarter million dollars and we're going to give to somebody that we really didn't know with the hype and the promise that he would deliver that money into another country so most police forces would balk at the fact that you lose two hundred fifty thousand dollars because that's the risk we were talking i have to say that. our c.e.o. had the view that we needed to be lawfully. and that's what we did so we found fifty thousand dollars in the budget and fortunately at the time that we're doing that the strong federal police come on board. the eye of the kitty in another one million dollars the million dollars that was provided by the strong federal police was actually util laws to one of those funds in that reverse transaction police to identi

or human trafficking. the other thipg is thng is thate years, the d.p.h. has started a program to try to help people who might want to in fact seek either -- maybe they want to continue in the massage industry, maybe they want other skill sets for other jobs, and they have certainly try today help them with that, and i think that's a positive program that we should continue so that people can be independent and have the skill sets they need to succeed. so again, i just want to emphasize that these are just simply items that department of public health staff came across over the years, felt that they needed to clarify things, conform our local laws with state law. this is not at all to pass judgment or do anything further around sex work. so colleagues, with that, i'm happy to answer any other questions that you might have. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, supervisor tang. i think that this is -- as you said, this is a real issue: i mean, san francisco is a targeted area for sex trafficking
