OKLAHOMA CITY (April 28, 2025) — The Attorney General’s Human Trafficking Response Unit is partnering with TAT (formerly Truckers Against Trafficking), Love’s Travel Stops and Continental Resources on Thursday, May 1, to host law enforcement and transportation leaders in the development of counter-trafficking strategies.
The Coalition Build event aims to close loopholes exploited by traffickers by uniting government agencies with trucking, truck stop, bus and energy industry partners.
“Human trafficking is a critical challenge in our state. Combating this evil requires a coordinated effort across multiple sectors,” said Attorney General Gentner Drummond. “Our Human Trafficking Response Unit is committed to working with our partners in law enforcement and the transportation industry to identify victims and bring perpetrators to justice.”
His sentiments were echoed by TAT Executive Director Esther Goetsch.
“We are so pleased to be convening industry and law enforcement leaders to capitalize on the momentum here in Oklahoma to work collaboratively against human trafficking. It will certainly take all of us, united in this cause, doing our part,” she said. “We’re grateful for AG Drummond’s leadership on this issue and our energy and truck stop industry partners who are coming alongside to be part of the solution.”
The event includes prevention training, a survivor presentation and a law enforcement panel. While closed to news media, interviews and tours of TAT’s Freedom Driver Project mobile exhibit can be arranged.
The event will take place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Hamm Institute for American Energy in Oklahoma City. Registration is required.
