Co-Leaders of the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force

In partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Saving Innocence co-leads the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force (LARHTTF), funded by the Department of Justice’s Office of Victims of Crime Enhanced Collaborative Model Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking Program. The goal of the LARHTTF is to improve the early identification of victims of human trafficking across Los Angeles County, enhance the investigation and prosecution of labor and sex trafficking cases, and ensure human trafficking survivors receive tailored, comprehensive services that address their unique needs.

Our strong collaborations with other non-government organizations and Los Angeles County social service agencies allow us to deliver a victim-centered, trauma-informed approach that prioritizes the well-being and recovery of survivors. To learn more, visit www.lahumantrafficking.com.
