January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. We want anyone trapped in a dangerous situation to know that help is available.

The Washington County Human Trafficking Task Force was launched in 2018. Its mission is to identify trafficking cases, to rescue victims from these situations and to hold offenders accountable.

Task force members include law enforcement agencies, community groups and our office. The Washington County Sheriff's Office and Safety Compass of Oregon are among our many key partners. Please watch and share this video to learn more about the work of this task force and resources available to trafficking victims.
