Washingtoner/10286412

DALLAS - Washingtoner -- Spartan Investigations, a leading investigative agency focused on addressing human trafficking, has announced a strategic collaboration with the Dallas Police Department (DPD) and other law enforcement agencies to combat human trafficking in the region. This partnership has led to significant breakthroughs in ongoing investigations, including the protection of vulnerable victims and the arrest of perpetrators. https://spartaninv.com/

Spartan Investigations is committed to building strong, effective relationships with law enforcement agencies to facilitate successful rescue operations and ensure victims' safety. With a team of highly trained professionals, Spartan Investigations has provided invaluable support to DPD detectives, including Detective Kelly, a lead investigator with the Texas division of Spartan Investigations. Kelly has worked closely with Detectives of DPD on critical cases, such as a recent investigation involving a 15-year-old autistic boy who was a victim of sexual assault in downtown Dallas. "We are fully committed to protecting those who are most vulnerable in our community," said Detective Kelly. "Our role is to ensure that evidence is gathered legally and ethically, and that we are acting as reliable partners in collaboration with law enforcement. By working together, we are able to facilitate the rescue of victims and bring traffickers to justice."

In addition to ongoing efforts in Dallas, Spartan Investigations is also working toward further collaboration with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), whose Human Trafficking Group operates in the region. This partnership would provide even more resources and expertise to combat human trafficking, with a focus on rescue operations, evidence gathering, and the prosecution of traffickers.  One of the ongoing cases being worked by Spartan Investigations involves the trafficking of minors and young adults, with a 15-year-old boy as the latest victim.  The case includes disturbing details of abuse and trafficking operations that involve both online and physical networks.

Spartan Investigations has provided critical information, including license plate numbers and location data of suspected trafficking sites, which has contributed to the progress of the investigation.  While Spartan Investigations and law enforcement work together, trust remains a crucial factor in ensuring effective coordination. Detective Kelly emphasizes that building reliable partnerships between all involved parties is paramount to success. She also notes the importance of maintaining timely updates and clear communication throughout investigations, ensuring that victims are not forgotten or left in harm's way.  As Spartan Investigations continues to provide valuable support to law enforcement in Dallas, the company is also taking proactive steps to build stronger, long-term relationships with agencies like HSI to enhance future rescue efforts and investigations.

Haydee Ginger, the CEO of Spartan, and Ron Haugen, the COO, oversee the Virginia headquarters, which also manages operations in Florida and Texas to ensure that the Texas Division has the necessary resources for their rescue missions. To date, Spartan, in collaboration with organizations like PFA, has rescued dozens trafficking victims and safeguarded more than a dozen victims of domestic violence.

Ryan Miller, the divisional president of Spartan Florida operations, emphasizes the crucial issue of port oversight in Florida and the concerning rise in trafficking enabled by the insufficient security measures at these ports. "Based on my personal observations....our ports are utterly and shamefully unsecured," says Ryan.

If there is any form of "security," it is carried out in a manner that is ineffective. Anyone can easily approach and enter a waiting vehicle without any hindrance.  These vulnerable points are susceptible to various forms of trafficking, particularly human trafficking. Prejudice and arrogance have led to this problem, and it is imperative that a private entity be brought in to ensure proper accountability. https://spartanorlando.com/.
