Miami-Dade aims to end ‘pandemic’ of human trafficking
Tags:
DORAL, Fla. – There’s a renewed push to end an unthinkable crime that’s perpetuated far too often in South Florida — human trafficking.
Florida has the third-most human trafficking cases in the country, and the city of Miami has the highest concentration of human trafficking in the state, authorities say.
“This has been a pandemic of a different matter, and one that we will find a way to one day also end,” said Jose “Pepe” Diaz, chair of the Miami-Dade County Commission.
More than a dozen officials from the county came together Tuesday to launch their latest human trafficking educational push.
