In August 2024, OUR Rescue supported the coordinated efforts of law enforcement and aligned partners across the 12 U.S. states in an operation organized to assist survivors of human trafficking and arrest their traffickers. "OUR Rescue is grateful to be a small part of Operation Coast to Coast. It was amazing to see law enforcement from all over America come together to find survivors of trafficking and offer support and services, while identifying and arresting the traffickers,” says Nate Davis, OUR Rescue Vice President of North American Operations. “The organizer, Dan Nash and his team at the Human Trafficking Training Center, have instructed thousands of officers on the most effective way for police to combat human trafficking and it was incredible to see their work in action during this operation." During the operation, 94 adults and 2 minors were contacted and offered needed survivor care services, and 39 adults were identified or detained during dozens of operations conducted by police nationwide.
