Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day.

Human trafficking affects over 24.9 million people worldwide, including in the United States.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department is part of the Ventura County Human Trafficking Task Force.  The task force is made up of members from the Ventura County District Attorney's Office, Ventura Police Department, Santa Paula Police Department, Simi Valley Police Department, Oxnard Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Homeland Security Investigations, California Department of Justice, and several victim service providers. The primary mission of the task force is to combat the fight against the sex and labor trafficking of humans within Ventura County.  The Ventura County Taskforce works closely with surrounding cities and counties to fulfill this mission. 

In an effort to combat human trafficking locally, the Ventura County Human Trafficking Task Force conducts training for hotels and motel operators in the county. This training helps hotels employees recognize the signs of human trafficking, provide them knowledge of laws, and how to report suspected human trafficking cases. The Ventura County Coalition against Human Trafficking along with the Ventura County Human Trafficking Task Force present this training free of charge.
 
If you believe you are a victim or know a victim of human trafficking, please call 2-1-1 to be connected with services. If you are an employer that is interested in participating in the training, please contact the Ventura County Coalition against Human Trafficking at VCCAHT@gmail.com
