The sexual workers in London will now have another way to ask for help as the Met Police has launched its new service to tackle human trafficking.
The new command SCD9 will further investigate the trafficking of adults for sexual exploitation, forced labour and domestic servitude.
Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Martin, head of SCD9, said: “We know that people trafficking is still under reported and we want to encourage any victims to come forward to help us prevent this horrific crime happening in the future.
“It takes bravery and courage to get in touch, but we would urge any person who has been, or is a victim, to speak to us to help bring those who violate and exploit others for their own gain to justice.”
He also adds: “The new command will benefit from a single command structure for trafficking and the Specialist Crime Directorate focus and specialism on organised crime.
“We do, of course, remain committed to tackling vice, reducing serious violence in high-risk licensed premises and gaming establishments, and eradicating obscene publications.”
