פרוסגור ביטחון מצטרף ליוזמת ברק כחול כדי לסייע במניעת סחר בבני אדם

HERNDON, Va., July 14, 2021 (Newswire.com) –
Prosegur Security, מובילת אבטחה עולמית, הפכה לחברת האבטחה הראשונה שהצטרפה ליוזמת הברק הכחול, תוכנית משותפת של משרד התחבורה האמריקאי והמשרד לביטחון פנים של ארה"ב, כדי לסייע בזיהוי ובמניעת סחר בבני אדם. כחלק מהתוכנית, עובדי Prosegur שעובדים באבטחת תעופה וקמעונאות יוכשרו כיצד לזהות סוחרי אדם וקורבנות פוטנציאליים, כמו גם את הנהלים לדיווח בטוח ומהיר על מקרים כאלה לרשויות הרלוונטיות.

“Human trafficking continues to be a persistent scourge of our times, with an estimated 24.9 million victims worldwide,” said Larry Parrotte, the CEO of Prosegur Security USA. “Because protecting others is our core value, we decided to wholeheartedly embrace the mission of the Blue Lightning Initiative. Our security agents interact with travelers and shoppers every day and are uniquely positioned to spot and do something about suspected trafficking attempts. If we are able to help even one victim, we will consider the program a resounding success.”

“Prosegur Security USA has over 5,000 employees and is currently present at 16 U.S. airports as well as numerous retail stores and other commercial locations,” said Thomas Pelletier, Prosegur’s project leader for the Blue Lightning Initiative. “We are proud to be a part of this initiative and look forward to working with our friends and partners in law enforcement as well as transportation and retail industries on stopping human traffickers in their tracks.”

“DHS is proud to partner with Prosegur Security USA to continue the fight towards ending human trafficking. Through this partnership, the Blue Lightning Initiative will add its first security company to a growing community of over 70 partners working to recognize and report human trafficking across the U.S. transportation system,” said Karinda L. Washington, DHS Executive Director, Social Impact and Campaigns.

“We inspect every person entering the United States, which places U.S. Customs and Border Protection in a unique position to combat human trafficking,” said Diane J Sabatino, Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner, Office of Field Operations. “We are grateful Prosegur Security USA has joined this important initiative as it truly takes all of us to spot potential victims.”

“The U.S. Department of Transportation is proud to work with our partners across government and the aviation sector on critical counter-trafficking efforts. When frontline aviation employees are trained to recognize and report suspected instances of human trafficking, actionable tips are reported to law enforcement to help stop the crime. This BLI partnership highlights the commitment of the security industry in joining airlines, airports, and industry associations across the country to take a stand against human trafficking,” said Julie Abraham, Director, Office of International Transportation and Trade, Office of the Secretary, USDOT.

בנוסף ל-Prosegur, יוזמת הברק הכחול נתמכת על ידי 30 חברות תעופה, 30 שדות תעופה בארה"ב, איגודי תעשייה ואוניברסיטה, שכולם עוקבים אחר אותם פרוטוקולי הכשרה ודיווח שהוגדרו על ידי משרד התחבורה והמשרד לביטחון המולדת. למידע נוסף על הצטרפות ל-BLI, פנה אל bluecampaign@hq.dhs.gov ו-trafficking@dot.gov.
