Robin

Ok I think this will work and I love the changes you made

Also I don't know if there are strategies except these are counties who hav=
e somewhat welcomed me but I don't want to say that. I feel like short term=
 each county is going to need different things and I don't want to say I ca=
n offer something when I'm not sure I can across the board. If that makes s=
ense. I feel more comfortable with them having my contact so that if they a=
re curious or want more info I will be able to give them more specific info=
 or services to each county.

Let me know what you think





Sex trafficking is a hot topic in the news today. It seems that you can't t=
urn on your TV without hearing a story about a victim or pimp. The Oregon D=
OJ (DOJ) and the federal government have identified that this is an issue w=
orth fighting. In recognition that changes need to be made to upset the bus=
iness of sex trafficking and to help the victims of this crime, the DOJ cre=
ated a new position, CSEC (Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children) Inte=
rvention Coordinator. DOJ hired Amanda Swanson to fill the position.  Prior=
 to coming to the DOJ, Amanda worked directly with victims of sex trafficki=
ng for five years. She has been at DOJ for about 3 months.  The following i=
s an update of the work she is doing in cooperation with counties around th=
e state.



Since starting in this position, I have been travelling around the state me=
eting key players in each county to start having conversations not only abo=
ut what trafficking looks like in each county but also about what services =
are available and/or needed. Currently I am focusing on  9 counties Multnom=
ah, Clackamas, Washington, Marion, Deschutes, Umatilla, Jackson, Douglas an=
d Linn.  In Clackamas County we are starting to work on a response for when=
 victims are identified and picked up.  We anticipate that this response wi=
ll be rolling out in the next year. In Deschutes County I am working with t=
he CSEC MDT to build and hand out surveys to service providers in the count=
y to get a feel for the size of the issue there and what the issue looks li=
ke. I am also working to identify further training and awareness needs of t=
hat community. In Douglas County I have started meeting key players for the=
ir CSEC MDT and we hope to have our first CSEC MDT meeting scheduled in the=
 next few months.



Along with building CSEC MDTs I am also putting together a technical assist=
ance training team to travel the state and help direct service providers wi=
th concrete intense training on how to identify victims, prosecute these to=
ugh cases, and offer advocacy and case management for this population. In M=

ressed the importance of a collaborative multidisciplinary approach includi=

Hi Amanda,



I made a few edits to the MDT Newsletter piece you so kindly wrote for us. =
Mostly, I  changed the second and third paragraphs to I statements since I =
want folks to know this information is coming directly from you. I wanted t=
o run it past you and see if the changes were okay before we put in the new=
sletter.  Also, would it be okay to list all 9 counties that you are curren=
tly focusing on? If so, would you please add them below.  Finally, I think =
that at the end it would be helpful to add something about what MDT folks m=
ight do if they are interested in developing a response/seeking your assist=
ance or input.  I know that you are limiting your focus at this time to mak=
e an impact in the short amount of time you have under the current funding.=
..Maybe you could add something to let folks know what you will be able to =
offer in the short run and a little info. on the strategy of focusing on th=
e 9 counties vs the long run?



Thanks so much!

&lt;p class=3D&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I made a few edits to =
the MDT Newsletter piece you so kindly wrote for us. Mostly, I &nbsp;change=
d the second and third paragraphs to I statements since I want folks to kno=
w this information is coming directly from
 you. I wanted to run it past you and see if the changes were okay before w=
e put in the newsletter.&nbsp; Also, would it be okay to list all 9 countie=
s that you are currently focusing on? If so, would you please add them belo=
w.&nbsp; Finally, I think that at the end
 it would be helpful to add something about what MDT folks might do if they=
 are interested in developing a response/seeking your assistance or input.&amp;=
nbsp; I know that you are limiting your focus at this time to make an impac=
t in the short amount of time you have
 under the current funding&#8230;Maybe you could add something to let folks=
 know what you will be able to offer in the short run and a little info. on=
 the strategy of focusing on the 9 counties vs the long run?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/sp=

&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;The Oregon &lt;/span&gt;DOJ &lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1=

 issue worth fighting&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;.
&lt;/span&gt;In recognition that changes need to be made to upset th&lt;span style=

tims of this crime&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;, the
&lt;/span&gt;DOJ &lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;created a new position, &lt;/span&gt;CSE=

an style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;
worked&lt;/span&gt; directly with victims of sex trafficking for five years. She =

&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;also about &lt;/span&gt;what services are available=
 and&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;/&lt;/span&gt;or needed. Currently
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I am&lt;/span&gt; focusing on &nbsp;9 counties.&amp;nbs=
p; In Clackamas County
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;we&lt;/span&gt; are starting to work on a response =
for when victims are identified and picked up&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;=
.
&lt;/span&gt;&nbsp;&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;We anticipate that this response=
 will&lt;/span&gt; be rolling out in the next year. In Deschutes County
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I am&lt;/span&gt; working with the CSEC MDT to buil=
d and hand out surveys to service providers in the county to get a feel for
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;the size of the issue there and &lt;/span&gt;what t=
he issue looks like.
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I am also working&lt;/span&gt; to identify further =
training and awareness needs of that community. In Douglas County
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I have&lt;/span&gt; started meeting key players for=
 their CSEC MDT and
&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;we hope &lt;/span&gt;to have &lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#=

&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;CSEC MDT &lt;/span&gt;meeting scheduled in the next=

&lt;span style=3D&quot;color:#1F497D&quot;&gt;I am&lt;/span&gt; also putting together a technical=

ders with concrete intense training on how to identify victims, prosecute t=

 and offer advocacy and case management for this population. In May&lt;span st=
