The Attorney General is authorized to make grants to States, units of local government, and Tribal governments to— train law enforcement officers and prosecutors on how to identify victims of child human trafficking; create pre-trial diversion programs for victims of child human trafficking; and provide protection for victims of child human trafficking who testify against their exploiters. The chief executive of a State or unit of local government seeking a grant under this section shall submit to the Attorney General an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Attorney General may reasonably require.
The Attorney General may increase the amount by up to 20 percent that a grant recipient would otherwise receive under this section in the case of a recipient that— will collaborate with a victim-centered multi-disciplinary team organization with expertise in responding to child human trafficking; have a pre-trial diversion program or a program that identifies sex trafficked minors for operations purposes; or have in place a policy not to prosecute or otherwise punish victims of child human trafficking.
