When gangs and organized crime networks realize human beings are more profitable than drugs, our communities pay the price. In this critical episode of Team Protectors, Safe House Project’s Kristi Wells and Brittany Dunn sit down with Bill Woolf, former detective, federal official, and White House advisor on human trafficking, to explore how sophisticated criminal enterprises like MS-13, the Bloods, and the Crips have transformed trafficking into one of America’s fastest-growing crimes.Bill shares powerful stories from his time investigating complex trafficking cases and offers unique insights into the systemic gaps that enable organized crime groups to thrive. You’ll learn:How gangs quietly operate human trafficking networks right in our own neighborhoods.Why traffickers increasingly prefer selling people over traditional criminal activities.What tools law enforcement urgently needs to effectively dismantle these criminal networks.With practical solutions like the Simply Report app, Bill explains how communities can safely report suspicious activity, empowering law enforcement to intervene decisively. Because to dismantle trafficking, it takes the vigilance of every one of us.Human trafficking won’t end until we confront the organized criminal networks behind it. Join us, and learn how together we can restore safety and freedom to our neighborhoods.Support the show
