We train law enforcement officers in how to identify human trafficking and how to effectively deal with victims. Selah Freedom serves as a direct resource for law enforcement to refer victims to as a way out of "the life". No longer are police arresting these women, they are now able to identify them as the victims of sex trafficking.
Selah Freedom has also aligned with law enforcement & the State Attorney's Office to spearhead TYLA (Turn Your Life Around). The TYLA (Turn Your Life Around) initiative is a partnership between the Sarasota Police Department and Selah Freedom that employs community outreach, diversion, and a re-directed law enforcement philosophy. TYLA provides support in the forms of case management, counseling, job training, and residential services. TYLA is also supportive during all judicial proceedings and is committed to the victims held in bondage within the various levels of sex trafficking.
