明报/安省政府昨天宣布增加拨款给予多个地区的警队，协助他们打击偷运人蛇的非法勾当，挽救受害人，并提高警队的力量，以便调查及将偷运人蛇的集团绳之于法。
得到额外资源的警队包括尼亚加拉、皮尔、温莎、咸美顿、约克及荷顿等地区。此外，省警也将得到增资，与Anishinabek、Nishnawbe-Aski和Treaty Three Police Services合作，截击人口贩卖的活动。
对于警方提出的多个预防非法人蛇偷渡进入安省的措施，省府将给他们提供以下额外的支援：针对利用人蛇卖淫的特别调查行动；推行教育宣传，以使潜在的受害人和证人提高警惕；加强监察系统；调配警力，专责人口贩卖调查；给警员专门训练。
早在今年初，省府已拨出额外资金，支助紧急服务和社区机构，一方面帮助受害人，一方面增聘检控官，加强检控非法分子的胜算。
社区安全及惩教厅长布拉德利说：“人口贩卖活动，是安省、加拿大以至全世界都面对的最令人发指的罪案。麦坚迪政府锐意扫除这种勾当，尽其能力将歹徒送进监狱，并救助、保护和支援受害人。”
安省警察总长协会主席Matthew A. Torigian(左图)说：“省府今日的宣布是一口强心针，帮助警察执行针对人口贩卖活动的法律，同时给予受害人所需援助。省府资助打击这种令人鄙视的犯罪行为，无疑也是在帮助警察保护无辜的受害人。”
尼亚加拉地区省议员Kim Craitor说：“今日给予尼亚加拉地区警队的支助，以打击偷运人蛇的活动，一再显示我们政府8年来重击罪案绝不手软的纪录。”

McGuinty Government Supports Fight Against Exploitation And Forced Labour
Ontario is investing in projects to rescue victims of human trafficking, and to improve police capacity to investigate and charge criminals involved in human trafficking.
Seven police initiatives aimed at preventing human trafficking across the province will receive additional support for:
Special investigations targeting the sex trade
Education campaigns for potential victims and witnesses
Increased surveillance
Dedicated human trafficking investigators
Officer training
This investment is in addition to support provided earlier this year for emergency services and community agencies to better assist victims, and for new Crown specialists to help build stronger cases and prosecute offenders.
Ontario is committed to preventing victimization, protecting vulnerable people, enforcing human trafficking laws, prosecuting offenders and ensuring victims have the supports they need.
QUOTES
“Human trafficking is one of the most outrageous and appalling crimes that we face in Ontario, in Canada and around the world. The McGuinty government is committed to doing everything we can to lock up offenders, and to rescue, protect and support victims.”
– Jim Bradley
Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services
“Today’s announcement is a positive step in helping Ontario police services to enforce human trafficking laws and help victims. By supporting a coordinated approach to fighting against this despicable criminal behaviour, the Ontario government is helping police protect innocent human beings.”
– Matthew A. Torigian
President of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police
QUICK FACTS
Human trafficking is a crime that makes victims through forced labour or prostitution.
The police forces receiving funding serve Niagara, Peel, Windsor, Hamilton, York and Halton. The province is also providing funding to the Ontario Provincial Police in partnership with Anishinabek, Nishnawbe-Aski and Treaty Three Police Services.
Projects are supported with funds from the Proceeds of Crime which are collected through criminal prosecutions.
