A commissioner announced a free human‑trafficking awareness and training event scheduled for Feb. 15 at Legacy Plaza, describing speakers, continuing‑education credits for licensed therapists and partner agencies, and outreach materials.
The announcement said two survivors — named in the transcript as Dr. Gregory and Dr. Neesee Hamilton — will participate; the latter was described as a survivor who had been in foster care and later helped pass three human‑trafficking laws in Texas. The event will include a representative from the Oklahoma Attorney General’s office (named in the meeting as Kevin Metcalfe) who will discuss online grooming and social‑media risks, along with local vendors and partner organizations providing resources to attendees. The speaker said the event is free and will provide CEUs for therapists.
The commissioner emphasized recent trends, including cases involving older women targeted for trafficking, and encouraged commissioners and community members to attend. Flyers were available at the meeting and organizers offered to share additional information by follow‑up contact.
No formal action or policy vote was tied to the announcement during the meeting.
