Although human trafficking is widespread, many victims go unnoticed. You can make a difference!

Trafficking red flags to look for:

  • Lack of knowledge of their community or whereabouts
  • Restricted or controlled communication – not allowed to speak for self
  • Not in control of own identification documents (ID/Passport)
  • Signs of branding or tattooing of trafficker’s name (often on neck)
  • Victim has been harmed or deprived of food, water, sleep or medical care

Here are some tips for reporting:

  • Descriptions of vehicle (make, model, license plate number)
  • Description of people involved (height, weight, hair color, eye color, age)
  • Time, date, location of suspicious activity

If you suspect a person is under someone else’s control and forced into commercial sexual exploitation, TAKE ACTION and call the National Human Trafficking Hotline.  1-888-373-7888

Do not approach traffickers.  If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911
