Which unit handles matters related to exploitation and trafficking?

• A. HEAT Unit
• B. Special Crimes Unit
• C. Public Safety Unit
• D. Human Resources Unit

Answer: (A)

Exploitation and trafficking are specialized crime areas that require focused investigations, victim support, and interagency coordination. A unit explicitly named to address Human Exploitation and Trafficking is designed to handle these cases, making it the best fit for matters related to exploitation and trafficking. The HEAT unit signals this precise focus on human exploitation and trafficking, including investigative work, intelligence gathering, and collaboration with other agencies. The other units cover broader or unrelated functions: a Special Crimes Unit handles serious crimes in general, a Public Safety Unit focuses on overall safety and enforcement, and a Human Resources Unit deals with staffing and personnel matters, not criminal investigations.
