Searchlight conducts intelligence-gathering, investigations and rescues of trafficked children and young adults forced into human trafficking, focusing largely on sex slavery. In doing so, its experienced career police officers and attorneys work in tandem with law enforcement agencies of all levels, government and military throughout the United States and foreign jurisdictions to aid in and facilitate the location and recovery of these victims. In doing so, Searchlight provides assistance to such law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies as appropriate in the arrest, prosecution, mitigation and termination of the illegal actions of those engaged in such human trafficking. This assistance comes in the form of cases and evidence developed, eyewitness testimony and expert witness assistance.

 

Searchlight does not work in the areas of mental and medical treatment or therapy for the victims of trafficking, nor does it provide temporary or permanent domicile or sanctuary for those retrieved from trafficking. It does, however, seek to develop an ever-growing network of strategic relationships with those facilities that do provide those services, so it can ensure the proper and safe housing and treatment of those victims it rescues.
