Arnold “Chip” Corsmeier, assistant U.S. attorney for the Jacksonville Division of the Middle District of Florida, announced a week of awareness classes scheduled Monday through Friday intended to educate the law enforcement community and the public about human trafficking. He was joined by sheriffs and police chiefs from counties in North Florida. Corsmeier is the chairman of the North Florida Human Trafficking Task Force, one of 41 such organizations across the country. Corsmeier described human trafficking as “modern-day slavery” and said it is tied with the illegal arms trade as the second-largest criminal industry in the world, behind drug dealing.
