our impact | anti-human trafficking
Trafficking is an often misunderstood and frequently overlooked problem. Here’s why the risk to our children is growing:
The National Child Protection Task Force supports law enforcement and child protection professionals in identifying and recovering children who are being trafficked or are at high risk.
Through rapid response case assistance and Missing Child Rescue Operations, we work alongside local, state, and federal partners to uncover trafficking networks, locate vulnerable children, and help strengthen community-based systems of protection.
Every operation is designed to bring children to safety—and create real, lasting pathways to healing.
By combining cutting-edge technology, collaborative investigation, and trauma-informed insight, we help ensure that no vulnerable child goes unseen or unsupported.
NCPTF experts work with law enforcement to identify trafficking patterns, decode digital trails, and urgently help locate exploited children.
We help communities uncover what kids were running from, who they were running to, and what support they need to be safe for good.
this is how we create better outcomes for missing, exploited, and trafficked kids
