Speaker: Detective James McBride, Task Force Detective, Clearwater Police

Topic: Follow up Clearwater/Tampa Bay Area Task Force On Human Trafficking

Last month, during our FALI Area Meeting we had Natasha Nascimento of Redefining Refuge, speak on Human Trafficking and the activities occurring in our local Bay Area. Ms. Nascimento mentioned that she would reach out to the law enforcement contacts to have one come out and discuss interoperability between the Task Force and local PIs. 

Join us as Detective James McBride joins us at this month’s area meeting providing the law enforcement perspective and potential interoperability between PIs and the Task Force.

Detective James McBride has been with Clearwater Police Department since 1996 and currently serves in the Intelligence Unit as the lead detective on the Clearwater Area Task Force on Human Trafficking. Prior to his current assignment, Detective McBride worked as a sex crimes investigator, traffic homicide investigator, and radar operator. As a subject matter expert, Detective McBride worked with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to develop a 40-hour advanced human trafficking investigations training for law enforcement. Also a member of the United States Naval Reserves since 2001, Detective McBride served in a combat zone during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004. 

Those attending the meeting are encouraged to request different subjects to discuss and offer their input to assist others in attendance. After the meeting, networking will resume.
