Dear Honorable Judge Simmons and Mr. Mann:
This letter explains in detail the Town of Tiburon, including the Tiburon
Police Department's, response to the Grand Jury Report dated June 9, 2016. The
Report directs the Town to respond to Recommendation No. 3. The Findings involve

responding to the Recommendation, the Town assumes that the information in the

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 3: Marin County police chiefs and Sheriff should have their
patrol officers/deputies attend the "911 First Responder Referral Program"
training.
Town's Response to Recommendation 3: This recommendation has not yet
been implemented, but will be implemented prior to December 1, 2016.
The Tiburon Town Council reviewed and approved this response on August 3,

Re: Response to Grand Jury Report
Marin's Hidden Hunan Sex Trafficking Challenge
Dear Honorable Judge Simmons and Mr. Mann:
This letter explains in detail the Town of Tiburon, including the Tiburon Police
Department's, response to the Grand Jury Report dated June 16, 2016. The Report
directs the Town to respond to Findings Nos. 1-13 and Recommendations Nos. 1-7.
The Findings involve conclusions of fact that the Town has little or no independent
basis to evaluate. In responding to these Findings, the Town assumes that the
information in the Report is correct and relies on that information.
FINDINGS
Finding 1: Human sex trafficking is mostly unrecognized, under -reported, and
rarely subject to intervention in Marin.
Town's Response to Finding 1:
The Town agrees with this finding. The Town believes many crimes are under
reported, therefore, it presumes that this is the case with sex trafficking.
Finding 2: A significant number of human sex trafficking victims are from
Marin, not just transients importedfr om other areas.
Town's Response to Finding 2:
The Town has no direct knowledge of the number of victims from Marin, thus
this statement may or may not be accurate.
Finding 3: Reports from two Marin County victim advocate organizations
show that approximately 30% of the victims they aid are under the age of 18.

Town's Response to Finding 3:
The Town agrees with this finding, although the Town has no direct knowledge
of the reports mentioned or their accuracy.
Finding 4: Some Marin County law enforcement officers still believe some
human trafficking victims are criminals.
Town's Response to Finding 4:
The Town disagrees partially with this finding. The Town is not familiar with
the beliefs of every law enforcement officer in Marin County, but can state that the
Town's Police Department recognizes that persons who are being trafficked are
victims.
Finding 5: State law mandates that officers receive two hours of training on
human trafficking and some Marin agencies may not be complying with this
law.
Town's Response to Finding 5:
The Town disagrees partially with the finding. The Town is not familiar with
operations of every law enforcement agency in Marin County, but can state that the
Tiburon Police Department officers are in compliance with the training required under
state law.
Finding 6: Training of Marin County law enforcement on the "Marin County
Uniform Law Enforcement Protocol for Human Trafficking" has been
inconsistent across agencies.
Town's Response to Finding 6:
The Town disagrees partially with the finding. The Town cannot speak on
behalf of the other Marin County law enforcement organizations, but can state that the
Tiburon Police Department Officers have access to the above referenced protocols.
Finding 7: Law enforcement officers and others who are closest to human
trafficking believe the California mandated two-hour POST training video on
human trafficking is not sufficient.
Page 3 of 6
Town's Response to Finding 7:
The Town disagrees partially with this finding. The Town recognizes that any
additional training assist law enforcement officers. However, Tiburon also believes the
POST training is adequate to the needs of Tiburon officers.
Finding 8: Marin law enforcement agencies rarely use multidisciplinary
training, incorporating collaboration between Children Family Services (CFS),
the District Attorney, law enforcement experts, and possibly victims.
Town's Response to Finding 8:
The Town agrees with this finding.
Finding 9: Training for firefighters and EMS professionals in recognizing
human trafficking victims and reporting the crime is inconsistent in Marin.
Town's Response to Finding 9:
The Town agrees with this finding, even though the Town has no personal
knowledge regarding this finding.
Finding 10: It is difficult to determine the extent of human trafficking in Marin
because of inconsistent classification and definitions of the crime, as well as the
lack of a central clearinghouse for this data.
Town's Response to Finding 10:
The Town disagrees partially with this finding. While the Town agrees that
inconsistent classifications and definitions of crimes can make it difficult to determine
the extent of human trafficking, the Town disagrees with the characterization that there
is no "central clearinghouse" without further understanding of the meaning of that
statement.
Finding 11: The Marin County school districts do not provide education on a
systematic basis for students, parents and teachers in recognizing signs of
human trafficking.
Page4of6
Town's Response to Finding 11:
The Town disagrees partially with the finding. The Town has no direct,
personal knowledge of the training provided by school districts. The Town agrees that
some training should be provided.
Finding 12: Human trafficking outreach has been fragmented and is currently
insufficient in reaching critical audiences.
Town's Response to Finding 12:
The Town agrees with this finding.
Finding 13: The Marin County Coalition to End Human Trafficking Coalition
needs dedicated resources to make it more effective.
Town's Response to Finding 13:
The Town disagrees partially with the finding. The Town is unclear what is
meant by "dedicated resources".
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 1: All law enforcement officers should be consistently
trained in the "Marin County Uniform Law Enforcement Protocol for Human
Traff cking. "
Recommendation 2: All Marin law enforcement agency heads should ensure
their officers receive the California mandated two hour human trafficking
training.
Recommendation 3: The Board of Supervisors should convene a local group
of human trafficking experts (including CFS, law enforcement subject experts,
FBI, victim advocates, DA's, and perhaps a victim) to create a multidisciplinary
training presentation. This training should include the unique roles of all
County personnel, resources, and processes in addressing human trafficking.
Additional resources will be needed to support this training as none are devoted
to this task now. This training should include information on the trafficking of
females and males, as well as LGBTO.
Page 5 of 6
Recommendation 4: Once this multi -disciplinary training package is
completed, Marin County law enforcement agencies should ensure that all
Marin law enforcement officers be trained.
Recommendation 5: Marin County fire departments should ensure that all
EMS personnel are trained in recognizing human trafficking and how to report
it, and incorporate this in their annual training.
Recommendation 6: The Board of Supervisors should fund the creation of a
database that systematically tracks adult and minor victims, using consistent
classification and shared definitions to properly identify the victim and the
crime, as well as document its prevalence. Data should be gathered from any
organization dealing with trafficking victims, including law enforcement
agencies, government agencies (e.g. Marin County Health & Human Services),
civil organizations, and victim advocate organizations.
Recommendation 7: Marin County Office of Education should work with the
Marin County School/Law Enforcement Partnership to develop educational
programs to ensure that students, parents, and teachers are trained in
recognizing the signs of human trafficking and where they can find help.
Town's Response to Recommendations:
Recommendation 1: This recommendation has been implemented by the
Town.
Recommendation 2: This recommendation has been implemented by the
Town.
Recommendation 3: This recommendation requires further analysis by the
County. Should the County decide to create this training, Tiburon will
participate if the training is available to the Town.
Recommendation 4: This recommendation has not yet been implemented, but
will be implemented if the training is created.
Recommendation 5: This recommendation requires further analysis. Fire
protection in Tiburon is provided by the Tiburon Fire Protection District and is
governed by its own board that has responsibility for establishing training
priorities.
Page 6 of 6
Recommendation 6: This recommendation requires further analysis by the
County. The Town would like to see changes into existing records
management systems operated by local law enforcement agencies to ensure
consistency.
Recommendation 7: This recommendation will not be implemented by the
Town. The Town does not have the ability to implement this recommendation
on two independent governing agencies. The Town agrees that any training
would be beneficial.
The Tiburon Town Council reviewed and approved this response on August 3,
2016, at a duly noticed and agendized public meeting. If you have further questions on
this matter, please do not hesitate to call.
