• State Agency: Nebraska State Patrol
While TAT works with law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and Canada, there are a few standout leaders who have not only made TAT’s mission their own, but have innovated beyond it. In 2022, TAT honored the Nebraska State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division (NSP CED) for systemically working to achieve full adoption of the Iowa MVE Model, then taking that
work to another level. Among its many anti-trafficking efforts, NSP CED has provided initial and ongoing human trafficking training to its officers, hosted and participated in numerous awareness activities throughout the state and conducted undercover operations to disrupt human trafficking networks.

• Association: Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance
The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving commercial motor vehicle safety and enforcement throughout North America. The CVSA has been a key partner of TAT in raising awareness about the role of commercial/motor vehicle enforcement in combating human trafficking. Its partnership with TAT has been critical in activating states to implement the Iowa MVE Model, promoting TAT’s law enforcement training and in replicating TAT’s model in Canada and Mexico. In 2022, with the establishment of the CVSA Human Trafficking Prevention Program and its Human Trafficking Awareness Initiative, CVSA’s efforts are having an exponential impact in the fight against human trafficking in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
