About us
TAT, a 501c3 organization, is dedicated to raising up a defensive force of transportation professionals across North America to assist law enforcement in the recognition and reporting of human trafficking, in order to aid in the recovery of victims and the arrest of perpetrators. Recognizing that certain industries are uniquely positioned to recognize and report human trafficking, TAT partners with the trucking, truck stop, bus and energy industries to engage their workforces in this fight. TAT also partners with government agencies and law enforcement throughout the U.S. and Canada and builds public-private partnerships between the transportation and energy industries and law enforcement to combat this crime. TAT stands committed to educate, equip, empower and mobilize members of key industries and agencies to combat human trafficking. We educate our partners with industry/agency-specific top-tier training tools to recognize and report this crime and to use a victim-centered approach when engaging with potential victims of trafficking. We equip our partners with training, language, action plans and policies to make a positive impact on this crime. We come alongside our partners and empower them to activate those within their sphere of influence to get involved. We mobilize the largest army of transportation/industry professionals and public sector partners to lend their expertise and their voices to this movement.

These are both quotes from attendees of a law enforcement training session in Fredericton, New Brunswick in June. TAT Public Sector Engagement Specialist Dylan Wecht and Survivor Leader and Durham Region Human Trafficking Coordinator Karly Church conducted this training session for 140 officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), partnering law enforcement agencies and provincial government employees. This training was part of a full-day, anti-human trafficking training that brought law enforcement from all over the province to the RCMP training facility in Fredericton. In addition to Wecht and Church, attendees listened to presentations by S/Sgt. Tyson Nelson of the Southeast District RCMP; Susan Orlando, the provincial coordinator of Ontario’s Human Trafficking Prosecution Team; and an RCMP officer in Saint John, New Brunswick, whose current investigation has led to the first human trafficking charge in Saint John. Attendees took a wide selection of TAT materials to distribute to members of the commercial vehicle industry within their jurisdictions and expressed interest in taking the TAT law enforcement modules. The RCMP is interested in bringing TAT back to train other divisions and working on different initiatives in the future.

"I went early in the morning (to the FDP) and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. It was so heavy, and I felt so helpless reading about everyone’s stories. It made the call to action and volunteer event in the afternoon a whole lot more impactful. I’m super grateful there is an organization committed to teaching people how to recognize the signs (of human trafficking) and give support on how to stop it. I learned so much! Events like this solidify the reason why I love PepsiCo so much, and thank you for being a part of that!" - Smiriti Shankar, Associate Business Development Manager – PepsiCo Foods North America Growth Office TAT’s Freedom Drivers Project (FDP) and FDP Specialist Micah Larsen attended a Frito-Lay - Pepsico human trafficking awareness event at the company’s headquarters in Dallas/Plano, Texas on June 5. Justin Potes, senior director of PepsiCo Logistics, Kelsey Hartman, senior vice president of FritoLay Transportation and Larsen opened the event with presentations to 71 individuals who then toured the FDP. Throughout the day, a total of 130 FritoLay-Pepsico employees toured.

Happy Canada Day! For our friends in the U.S. who may not know what this day is - Canada Day is Canada's national holiday, and is celebrated on July 1. "Canadians across the country and around the world show their pride in their history, culture and achievements. It's been a day of celebration since 1868, where many festivities are held across the nation." (Government of Canada website) The holiday became official in 1879, was originally called Dominion Day, and marks the day the British North America Act came into effect in 1867 (creating the Dominion of Canada).
