Attorney General Ashley Moody has announced the creation of a statewide human trafficking reporting hotline for Florida.
The Florida-specific tipline was established by Moody, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the Statewide Council on Human Trafficking in response to worries that Polaris, the company that ran the National Human Trafficking Hotline, was not providing local law enforcement with timely information and tips.
“The State of Florida is committed to ending human trafficking. Unfortunately, the woke Stanford and Columbia-educated CEO of Polaris has pushed a radical agenda to delay the dissemination of vital information to local law enforcement in favor of what she calls a ‘victim-centered approach’,” Moody stated. “As a former federal prosecutor, former judge, and the wife of a law enforcement officer, I know that we can be putting these heinous criminals behind bars quicker, sparing other potential victims AND connecting survivors to the resources they need—if tips are sent to police in a timely manner. Pushing a narrative that we can stop a crime by working against law enforcement is ridiculous. It has been proven, time and time again, as a failed approach in cities and states across the nation. Floridians who suspect human trafficking need to call 855-FLA-SAFE.”
