Human Trafficking Sting

A human trafficking sting is a law enforcement operation that is designed to identify and apprehend traffickers and rescue victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery that involves the exploitation of individuals for labor or commercial sex through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. A human trafficking sting typically involves undercover agents posing as potential customers or traffickers in order to gather evidence and make arrests. It may also involve the use of surveillance technology and other investigative techniques. Human trafficking stings can be risky and complex operations, and they often involve coordination among multiple law enforcement agencies.
