What your team will take away
- Hospitality offers anonymity, making it a prime target for county lines and trafficking.
- Watch out for adults checking in young people who look anxious or lack basic luggage.
- Multiple mobile phones and cash-only bookings by non-locals are major warning signs.
- Continuous 'Do Not Disturb' signs and refused housekeeping can indicate control and confinement.
- Look for bulk cash, multiple phones, drug packaging materials, or signs of fear in occupants.
- Housekeeping and maintenance staff must report suspicions to management without confronting guests.
- Revolving visitors to a single room in short timeframes point heavily to exploitation or drug dealing.
- Watch for controlling power dynamics, forced isolation, or distressed individuals in bars and lobbies.
