Montery County Human Trafficking Task Force

With a victim centered approach, the MC Human Trafficking Task Force is a collaborative effort among victims service providers, law enforcement, prosecutors, and medical providers to reduce all forms of Human Trafficking and educate community partners. In September 2021, YWCA Monterey County hosted over 140 professionals and interested community members for a one-day Human Trafficking training where the development of a Multi-Agency Human Trafficking Task Force began to unfold. Interested participants joined together to create Monterey County Human Trafficking Task Force to raise the response to Human Trafficking to include increased identification and prosecution of human trafficking cases with an emphasis on services for victims.
