Five human trafficking survivors were safely recovered and connected with support services and one suspected trafficker was detained through a human trafficking rescue and recovery operation April 23 in South San Francisco, according to police.
The South San Francisco Police Department’s Human Exploitation Apprehension Team conducted the operation at an undisclosed location in South San Francisco in collaboration with the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office Human Trafficking Unit, Daly City Police
Department, San Mateo Police Department, Brisbane Police Department and the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center. Rape Trauma Services was also present to provide advocacy and resources to survivors, according to police.
This effort was part of “Operation Coast to Coast,” a coordinated nationwide initiative organized by the Human Trafficking Training Center to combat human trafficking. More than 250 law enforcement agencies across 30 states participated in the operation. Anyone who suspects human trafficking in their community is encouraged to contact their local law enforcement agency or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at (888) 373-7888.
