DHS Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT)

In October 2020, DHS launched the Center for Countering Human Trafficking (CCHT), which capitalizes on HSI’s operational expertise human trafficking and forced labor investigations and promotes a whole-of-government approach to combating these crimes. The HSI-led CCHT brings together subject matter experts who lead efforts to coordinate and expand investigations; increase public outreach awareness and effectiveness; support victim assistance programs; provide specialized training; and increase partnerships with other government agencies, private sector industry and non-government organizations.
