Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) is a non-profit organization that works to combat human trafficking by educating and empowering truck drivers to recognize and report instances of trafficking.
TAT was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Colorado. The organization works with trucking industry partners, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations to raise awareness of human trafficking and provide training to truck drivers on how to recognize and report instances of trafficking.
TAT also works with truck stops, travel plazas, and other transportation industry partners to provide resources and information to help drivers recognize and report trafficking.
TAT plays an important role in the fight against human trafficking by providing a network of trained and educated individuals who are in a unique position to observe and report instances of trafficking. Truck drivers are often on the road for long periods of time and can be in a position to observe trafficking activity and report it to authorities. By educating and empowering truck drivers to recognize and report trafficking, TAT is helping to make a difference in the fight against this crime.
