The Western District of New York Human Trafficking Task Force is a multi-disciplinary task force that brings law enforcement and social service agencies together to identify and investigate human trafficking utilizing a victim centered and trauma informed response. We serve the seventeen counties comprising the Western parts of Upstate New York.
Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, Yates, Steuben, Schuyler and Chemung
Since November of 2006, the task force has helped to identify and assist victims of human trafficking and prosecute those engaged in trafficking offenses. Our success is due to increasing awareness and partnerships with those in the community.
We work with law enforcement, victim service organizations, prosecutors, and other community actors to serve survivors and raise awareness about human trafficking.
