By Presidential Proclamation, January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month and the Erie County Sheriff's Office and the Human Trafficking Task Force for the Western District of NY work each day to combat human trafficking. But you don’t have to be a law enforcement professional to combat human trafficking. You too can know the signs of human trafficking and share the responsibility to fight this crime against human dignity. This January, The Sheriff's Office will publish a series of informational posts about how to recognize the signs of human trafficking, and where to report suspected instances. We need you to help end trafficking in your community.
