Thanks to your donations, today O.U.R. presented the Tallahassee Police Department @tallypd with a new SUV to support their Special Victims Unit in the fight against human trafficking. This larger SUV will allow a safe space for TPD Investigator Beth Bascom to speak with survivors from a comfortable distance onsite in investigations, instead of in the parking lot or place where the crime happened. The vehicle will also be used to transport families of survivors, as well as to deliver clothing and hygiene kits. With this vehicle donation, O.U.R. wants to recognize TPD’s efforts in a two-year human trafficking investigation, Operation Stolen Innocence, which yielded the arrests of more than 170 people on charges ranging from human trafficking of a minor to solicitation of prostitution. “We are thrilled to receive this new SUV for our Special Victims Unit. The recognition this unit and investigators received highlights their great work and remarkable success during Operation Stolen Innocence. As a result of their steadfast effort, our community is significantly safer,” Chief Lawrence Revell said. “Thank you to O.U.R. for providing the new vehicle to help our investigators in their fight against the dehumanizing practice of human trafficking.” O.U.R. proudly supports and collaborates with law enforcement officials nationwide in this important cause to disrupt the trafficking and exploitation of children.
