Santa Barbara County Human Trafficking Task Force

The SB County Human Trafficking Task Force exists to develop and enhance a multidisciplinary team that implements victim-centered, collaborative, and sustainable approaches to: 

  1. Identify victims of all types of human trafficking.

  2. Investigate and prosecute sex trafficking and labor trafficking cases at the local, state, tribal, and federal levels.

  3. Address the individualized needs of victims/ survivors through a comprehensive array of trauma-informed services.

In 2024, SAFE SBC launched to support the SB County HTTF’s three-year Strategic Plan to combat sex and labor trafficking locally. This Strategic Plan was developed in partnership with 29 members from multiple countywide agencies, including anti-trafficking subject matter experts and a local lived experience leader (survivor).
