January is Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness and Prevention month, so I am talking with Jim Fuda who is the Director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound and Vice Chairman of the recently launched Crime Stoppers Global Solutions. A big part of their focus is international outreach to stop human trafficking as well as other major felony crimes. Jim is a 48-year career police officer who has worked many overseas assignments where he has seen heinous crimes such as child sex trafficking. It compelled him to form an NGO where Crime Stoppers can leverage technology to assist in the fight against transnational crime.

In the interview, we reference the content and stories featured in a compelling PSA Jim created about child sex trafficking; you can see it on YouTube: ttps://youtu.be/gw7ZFgf1FCA. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization. The rewards they pay out for tips that lead to arrests with charges come from donations. You can make a donation at their website www.csglobalsolutions.org
