Fairbanks International Airport is training employees to be more vigilant about human trafficking under a new federal program.
Amanda Stonecipher, the airport’s safety officer, said the training covers “how to recognize what that might look like if someone is being trafficked, what signs and what clues we’re looking for.”“Alaska — we lead the nation as far as our sexual assault rate, and that’s just what’s reported, that we know about,” Stonecipher said. “You know, there’s so many that go unreported, especially in our smaller rural of communities where there’s not law enforcement presence.
“Not able to be out of someone’s eyesight or can’t go to the restroom on their own or can’t control their money, or is not allowed to have their own cell phone, and yet they’re an adult,” said Stonecipher.
