Gardaí go back to college to spot people traffickers

TOUGHER actions against people traffickers are expected as 150 gardaí finish specialised training to crackdown on the crime.

A special course to help members of the force spot victims of trafficking was piloted at the Garda College in Templemore last year.

Up to 50 gardaí — mainly from the Garda National Immigration Bureau (GNIB) — completed training.
