In late 2014, the legislature passed into law the Human Trafficking Commission Act which created the Michigan Human Trafficking Commission within the Department of Attorney General. In early 2015, the Governor made initial appointments of the 14 members and in early 2015 the Commission began their work.
The Commission is comprised of 14 members; 5 of which are un-termed agency designees (Governor, Attorney General, Michigan State Police, Department of Health and Human Services, and Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) and the remaining 9 are 2-year term appointments.
Additional information on the Attorney General's human trafficking initiative, including prosecutions, and laws, is available on the Attorney General's website.
The Michigan Human Trafficking Commission is creating a human trafficking organizations list. It will be a directory that contains information about groups that fight human trafficking. This list will help connect survivors with the services they need. It will do the same for those working in the field. The Commission will review and approve each organization before adding it to the website. To be included, an authorized staff member from your group can complete the form below.
If you are a victim of human trafficking or have identified someone you think may need help, please contact the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 888-373-3788, or text 233733.
This national, toll-free hotline, is available to answer calls, texts, and chats from anywhere in the country, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, every day of the year.
All calls are confidential.
The Michigan Human Trafficking Commission invites all Michigan residents to join the fight against human trafficking.
