Human Trafficking Unit

A human trafficking unit is a specialized law enforcement unit that is dedicated to investigating and prosecuting cases of human trafficking. Human trafficking units are typically comprised of specially trained investigators, prosecutors, and other support staff who are experienced in working on human trafficking cases.

They may also work in collaboration with other agencies, such as social service organizations, non-governmental organizations, or other stakeholders.

The purpose of a human trafficking unit is to provide specialized expertise and support to investigations and prosecutions of human trafficking cases. This may include conducting undercover operations, coordinating with other agencies and stakeholders, providing support and services to victims, and working to educate the public about human trafficking.

Overall, a human trafficking unit is a specialized law enforcement unit that is dedicated to investigating and prosecuting cases of human trafficking. It plays an important role in protecting the rights and well-being of victims, and in bringing traffickers to justice.
