Hollywood Casino officials attend human trafficking training - WTOL.com: News, Weather and Sport for Toledo, Ohio:

'via Blog this'According to experts, human trafficking is all about supply and demand. Celia Williamson, a professor at the University of Toledo, warned casinos like sporting events and conventions, can draw in a demand for trafficking.
"Casinos will bring men, men with lots of money in their pocket, who ware wanting to have a good time," Williamson said. "That places our community somewhat at risk."
Williamson said it is likely traffickers have already started to think about bringing their business to the area, so the Ohio Casino Control Commission decided to mandate training.
Williamson led the training for about 15 gaming agents Tuesday at the Hollywood Casino in Toledo. She taught them what to look out for and how to identify a potential victim.
