Summary

City staff completed human-trafficking training for all current employees and submitted an application to the Florida state attorney general’s office; staff said it meets requirements and expects an official certificate naming the city a 100% Club member.

The City of Sebastian announced on Feb. 12 that all current city employees have completed human-trafficking training and that the city has submitted an application to the Florida state attorney general’s office for recognition in the 100% Club.

City Manager Benton told the council that the training is now part of new-employee orientation and that he had received confirmation from the state attorney general’s office that Sebastian meets the requirements; the city is awaiting an official certificate naming it a 100% Club member.

Why this matters

The 100% Club recognizes jurisdictions that require human-trafficking awareness training for employees who may encounter trafficking victims. The training and policy change make awareness part of routine onboarding for city staff.

What’s next

Staff said the official certificate should arrive soon and that the city will continue to require the training for new employees as part of orientation.
