Get connected to your local resources. In Contra Costa County we have a coalition that has multiple committees/ workgroups that concerned citizens can get plugged into. If you are a community member you may want to join the Human Trafficking Coalition. If you are a service provider with Human Trafficking cases, you may want to join the Multidisciplinary Case Review Team (MDT) or the Task Force.

Human Trafficking Coalition

The Coalition started in 2009 and acts as an informal body of over thirty agencies to share information, best practices, training and engage in networking. The coalition meets quarterly and the Task Force reports out at all Coalition meetings.

The Task Force started in 2019 and is a local collaboration of state, federal and local law enforcement agencies and victim service providers which will receive and share information regarding human trafficking activity in the county and regions, support law enforcement in the investigation/prosecution of these crimes and help solidify the bridge between services provides and law enforcement to ensure seamless access of supports for victims.

The MDT is a smaller team authorized by PC 13753 which consists of law enforcement, victim service providers and other qualified persons who come together to share information in order to prevent, identify, manage and treat cases of human trafficking. This team is facilitated jointly by the Human Trafficking Task Force Coordinator and the Family Justice Center.
