How Freed People Works Hand-in-Hand with Law Enforcement
We act on leads, tips, and data to locate survivors and collaborate with law enforcement for targeted action.
By supporting law enforcement with resources and expertise, we strengthen their ability to combat trafficking and achieve more recoveries.
Operating across metropolitan areas, we respond swiftly to help rescue survivors and disrupt trafficking networks wherever demand exists.
Guided by trauma-informed care, we provide survivors with safe housing, medical support, and long-term resources for recovery.
“Law enforcement is the tip of the spear. How can we be a force multiplier for them?"
– Matt Shelton, Founder of Freed People
Human Trafficking Knows No Boundaries
Human trafficking isn’t limited to specific neighborhoods or socioeconomic groups—it touches every corner of society. From affluent areas to urban centers, traffickers exploit vulnerability wherever they find it. With approximately 79,000 minors trafficked in Texas alone, the need for a comprehensive response has never been greater.
