There is now a way for you to help combat human trafficking in Virginia.

As part of its ongoing efforts to prevent and investigate human trafficking occurring within the Commonwealth, the Virginia State Police is highlighting a texting tipline and web form for the public to send anonymous tips to the department’s Human Trafficking Investigative Unit.  Any witnesses or victims of human trafficking are encouraged to text 847411 on their phone and then type “VSP” followed by the tip.  Anonymous web tips can also be submitted through the tip411 web portal featured on the Virginia State Police website.
