“Operation Burn Notice” required several months of planning and involved the collaboration of four law enforcement agencies. The arrestees, ranging in age from 17 to 59, traveled from areas around Henry County, GA, with the intent to either purchase sex or engage in commercial sex activity.
The goal of “Operation Burn Notice” was twofold: to target and deter commercial sex buyers as part of a demand reduction effort, and to engage with commercial sex workers in order to offer support services. The objective was to identify and arrest pimps and human traffickers through this two-fold approach.
This investigation involved multiple law enforcement agencies working together to combat human trafficking.
