Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force takes a proactive approach to protecting women and minors from the cruel clutches of pimps who force them into lives of degradation, often by exploiting their status as runaways or their troubled pasts as victims of sexual abuse. Although formed in 2004, it wasn’t until 2014 that Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force became a fully operational, multi-jurisdictional task force. Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force is committed to combating all forms of human and sex trafficking through the rescue and long-term support of victims, prosecution of offenders, training of fellow law enforcement professionals, community awareness and effective public and private partnerships.
