Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of National Security in Jamaica, Major General Stewart Saunders, has reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to safeguarding Jamaica against human trafficking.

“The Government of Jamaica is fully cognizant of its obligations locally and internationally to do the utmost to combat human trafficking on all fronts,” he said while speaking at the opening of a border control training seminar, hosted by the National Taskforce against Trafficking in Persons, on Friday.

Major General Saunders said the seminar’s staging was indicative of the administration’s ongoing work to safeguard Jamaica’s citizens and other nationals, deemed vulnerable to human trafficking, as well as apprehend and prosecute perpetrators of this heinous crime.

Pivotal to this focus, he added, is the training of highly skilled frontline workers and responders, who are able to readily detect and handle incidence of human trafficking.
