Who We Are

The Kentucky Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force is a multi-disciplinary task force bringing together law enforcement, victim advocates, service agencies, and survivor leaders to combat human trafficking in Kentucky. The task force was started as a joint project between The Kentucky Office of the Attorney General and Catholic Charities of Louisville. It was funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice of Assistance and the Office for Victims of Crime.

The Kentucky Statewide Human Trafficking Taskforce is a collaboration of service providers, government agencies, and law enforcement representatives, who work together to increase identification of human trafficking crimes, engage in proactive victim-centered investigations and prosecutions, provide comprehensive victim services, and improve data collection, training, and outreach in Kentucky communities. The collaborative efforts of the Task Force focus on both sex and labor trafficking of adults and minors of any race, ethnicity, gender, identity, sexual orientation, or nationality.
