As January marks National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, law enforcement and community partners in Wyoming are underscoring their ongoing efforts to combat human trafficking across the state — a crime that can tragically occur in even the most rural communities.
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Wyoming recently reaffirmed its dedication to working with federal, state, and local partners to stop human trafficking, protect vulnerable victims, support survivors, and prevent the growth of these horrific crimes.
“Whether it’s forced labor, domestic servitude, or sex trafficking, human trafficking is the exploitation of human beings for profit, and it has no place in today’s society,” said **U.S. Attorney Darin Smith. “We remain dedicated to investigating and prosecuting traffickers within the borders of Wyoming.”
