In this podcast we interview Kevin Lilly, Chairman of the TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission). Some of you may already be asking what does trafficking have to do with alcohol? Even Kevin admits he was surprised, when he took the role as Chairman, the amount of work that goes into anti-human trafficking efforts. The TABC is committed to stopping human trafficking and they are  effective. So we interviewed the Chairman of the TABC to learn more about their work, and how we can better understand law enforcement's role in the issue of human trafficking.
