A-TiP (After Training Implementation Plan for hotels)
The purpose of the human trafficking After Training Implementation Plan (ATIP) is to assist the Hospitality Industry one property at a time by supporting Policies and Best Practices related to SB970 training. Research indicates that a majority of hotels/motels do not take any procedural steps after training and continue to conduct business as usual. The i-5 Freedom Network has developed ATIP for hotels/motels to effectively collaborate with law enforcement, document/report suspicious activity, apply prevention techniques, and more. ATIP is customized to the individual property by focusing on the specific opportunities and challenges of each department.
Assumption is that collaboration and cooperation between law enforcement and the property is necessary and that reporting plays a critical role in Law Enforcement’s ability to do their job. A-TiP aims to improve hotel preparedness to report trafficking by creating tailored reporting plans for each department and assigning i-5FN points of contact for each hotel to carry out periodical progress checks and be available for questions and issues.
Department plans are as follows:
Housekeeping: Focus is on guest/individual safety and timely reporting of indicators
Front Desk/Sales: Focus is on guest engagement for prevention opportunities and discretion & discernment in reporting
F&B: Focus is on guest engagement to build rapport and documenting and reporting indicators
Security: Focus is on managing and processing of reports
Sales & Catering: Focus is on how to justify denying suspicious group sales inquiries and proper documentation for reporting
Human Resources: Focus is on Implementing hiring practices and working with employment agencies for preventing labor trafficking on property and reporting indicators to appropriate agencies
Managers and Supervisors: Focus is on creating culture that empowers and rewards reporting and developing relationship with local Law Enforcement
