JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The Missouri State Highway Patrol is working to raise awareness about human trafficking.
The patrol will work to educate truck drivers, officers, and members of the public about the problem, and signs that it may be happening in communities across the state. The initiative will also tell people what to do if they think they are witnessing human trafficking.
“Human trafficking often involves our nation’s transportation systems, including Missouri’s roadways,” Col. Eric T. Olson, Missouri State Highway Patrol, said.
