Task Force Contacts

Since its inception in 2012, the South Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force has expanded its size and impact to respond to the evolving threat of human trafficking in our communities. The Task Force is currently composed of 11 mandated member agencies, over 500 individual members, 12 subcommittees, an advisory committee, and nine regional task forces. The individuals and organizations that compose the State Task Force work in partnership with diverse community partners to tailor a multi-sector approach that is responsive to the complexities of the crime.
