Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp and Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey are encouraging Georgians to download the “See Something, Send Something” mobile app as part of an ongoing effort to combat human trafficking across the state.
State officials say human trafficking remains a significant issue in Georgia because the state serves as a major transportation hub, with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and an extensive interstate highway system providing opportunities for traffickers to move victims.
The renewed awareness campaign comes as law enforcement agencies continue to target trafficking operations statewide. In March, authorities arrested 24 people during a human trafficking operation in Houston County.
The free “See Something, Send Something” app, also known as “See Send,” is available for Apple and Android devices and allows users to anonymously report suspicious activity related to human trafficking and other crimes. Users can submit tips, upload photographs, and provide details directly to law enforcement without revealing their identity.
“As we work to raise awareness about the risks and signs of human trafficking, it’s critical that Georgians know how to report suspicious activity,” First Lady Marty Kemp said. “By downloading the See Something, Send Something app and reporting concerning behavior, you can help end human trafficking in our communities.”
GBI Director Chris Hosey said the app gives the public an important role in helping investigators identify potential trafficking cases.
“Georgia remains steadfast in the mission to eliminate human trafficking and ensure traffickers no longer operate in the state,” Hosey said. “The See Something, Send Something mobile app is a powerful tool in the fight against human trafficking. Every voice matters. Download the app, learn the signs of human trafficking, and join us in the fight for victims.”
State officials are urging residents to familiarize themselves with the warning signs of human trafficking and report suspicious activity whenever they believe someone may be in danger.
In addition to using the mobile app, anonymous tips can be submitted to the GBI by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477) or through the agency’s online tip reporting system.
