Human Trafficking Safeguard

Did your search result in HT Safeguard return a potential link to human trafficking activity? Exercise caution. Remember, a link doesn’t prove an individual’s involvement. Prioritize the safety of your community with these three essential next steps.

STEP 1

Cease Communication

If you come across a possible link to the human trafficking database, trust your instincts. Take a step back and investigate. Is the linked phone number or email address related to the person you’re dealing with or a past user? Spending time on some quick research ensures your safety.

STEP 2

Get Training

Equip yourself with essential knowledge about human trafficking and its signs. Empowerment through education is key to making informed choices. Discover the courses offered by DeliverFund, for both the general public and law enforcement, to expand your knowledge and safeguard your loved ones.

STEP 3

Higher Level Reporting

If you strongly suspect a direct link between the information and an individual, it’s time to take action. Start by informing a person of authority of the suspected individual, like a manager. If that’s not an option, follow the steps you learned in your training to create a police report for your local authorities.

IF YOUR PHONE NUMBER IS IN THE HT DATABASE

Our Advice:

If you come across your phone number while using our app, it’s possible that someone with less-than-honorable intentions used it in the past. This information is out there for everyone to see. We strongly recommend reaching out to your cell phone provider and initiating the process to get a new number to prevent any mistaken association with illicit activity. Don’t forget to check the new number in our database before you confirm to ensure you’re not incorrectly linked to these activities again.

Welcome to the movement to end human trafficking and child exploitation.

This app is incredibly easy to use. As a mom of three teens, I’m glad to have a quick and easy and trustworthy resource to check on anyone who suspiciously slides into one of my kids’ virtual worlds.

App works great for screening people against their database. Very helpful if you have people messaging kids on social media, or many other uses.
