As part of the 1st annual Las Vegas #ChildSavedNotSold fundraiser impactful speakers including LVMPD Sheriff Joseph Lombardo and Adam Laxalt, former Nevada Attorney General shared their professional opinion and partnership with Saved in America. This collaboration represents the welcome human trafficking related help that Saved in America is providing to law enforcement organizations all over the nation, not the least of which is right in Las Vegas where the numbers are growing to epidemic levels. 

Why Law Enforcement Can’t Do it Alone

While law enforcement departments throughout the nation are consistently fighting against the evils of the world, they are understaffed and underfunded when it comes to keeping up with the immense growth of the human trafficking or the sex trafficking industry. No matter which state in America is being measured, this crime is reaching insane levels, impacting lives of virtually every category of citizen. However, because kids are often convinced by highly skilled predators to run away on their own, this isn’t necessarily a situation of kidnapping, which would allow for the dedication of many hours of police labor to the crime. Instead, the way these cases are solved is through intense research, surveillance and man hours, which the police departments throughout the nation are unable to give for any number of reasons. 

The Good Guys Welcome Help

The fact that these two law enforcement professionals have wholeheartedly supported Saved in America and the work they are doing not only in Las Vegas but all over the nation, shows that they are two of the good guys. They care about overcoming evil. They care about protecting kids, and they care about reuniting families. They don’t feel in any way pushed out when Saved in America steps in to help in a case. Instead, they are glad that there are more individuals on the case, more people fighting for the lives of these kids, and more good guys going after the bad guys. 

Fundraising Efforts

In order for Saved in America to continue to be able to do the work they do to help law enforcement agencies and families all over America, they do have to acquire funds through donations and fundraising efforts. They do not charge the families or the communities for their services, ever, so fundraisers are necessary. Thankfully, in addition to raising needed funds, it is also a way to educate the public more about the horrors of the industry and the need to continue fighting back.
