Did you know that January 11 is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day? Today and every day, task forces around the country work together to address the issue of human trafficking with the intention of streamlining efforts and advocating on behalf of survivors. The Cook County Human Trafficking Task Force was awarded the Enhanced Collaborative Model to Combat Human Trafficking from the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance and Office for Victims of Crime to support the work of the Cook County Human Trafficking Task Force in 2010. Between the task force’s inception and December 2019, the task force has collaboratively prosecuted 175 defendants in 135 indictments at the state level, indicted 51 traffickers in 36 cases at the federal level, helped over 300 victims receive services, and trained over 14,700 potential first responders, from medical staff to state police to school social workers.
