The Town of Gore’s Office of Emergency Management will be hosting a Human Trafficking Awareness class for parents/ adults, followed by a class for students. Both classes will be held on Saturday, Aug. 12, with the adult class starting at 2 p.m. and the student class at 4:30 p.m. Both classes will be held at the Gore Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

There is a lot more to human trafficking than the average person realizes and unfortunately, it takes place every single day in towns just like ours, all across America. Awareness is the first key in combating this evil practice, and everyone has a part to play and can make a difference.

Both classes will be taught by instructors with the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management. For questions, contact Gore’s Emergency Manager Justin Ohl at 918-557-5962.
