–January 2021 is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and to assist the community to learn more about this tragic criminal enterprise, the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office and Cal Poly’s California Cybersecurity Institute have teamed up to offer free online presentations to the community on Jan. 19 & 20 from 11 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. each day.
These presentations will bring a variety of local experts together to offer information on human trafficking as well as resources for victims and survivors.
“Human Trafficking is modern-day slavery right here and we must do everything we can to eliminate it from our community,” said Dan Dow, District Attorney. “Our SLO County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force is making a significant impact in reducing the occurrence in our county and I am grateful for the great partnerships we have. Please join our virtual forum to learn more.”
The unincorporated bayside town of Los Osos is another step closer to getting the greenlight to develop for the first time in decades with a long road still ahead after the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a new Los Osos Community Plan on Dec. 15. Several logistics are still pending including the Coastal Commission s certification of the plan but the board s approval marks a milestone in local efforts to lift a 32-year-old building moratorium in Los Osos brought on by water and wastewater issues. This is representing the vision of the community, 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson said before voting.
