COUNTER SEX TRAFFICKING/ COUNTER PEDOPHILE

From December 2021 to Dec 2002, ATP’s Intelligence team, in conjunction with five Skull Games events, passed more than 300 lead reports to our law enforcement partners for action. These reports identify victims of sex trafficking and, in most cases, their traffickers and other persons of interest.

Despite this amazing accomplishment of our small team and dedicated Skull Games volunteers, we have exceeded our growth potential from five law enforcement partners to more than 12 in different cities nationwide.

This translates to more areas to surge, more direct support to operations and more Skull Game events to coordinate.

Further, the success of each Skull Games has catapulted us to the top event among the intelligence community and technology sector. Industry intel teams volunteer at each event using their technology for #osintforgood.

The increase in volunteers has boosted the identification of victims and their traffickers. Unfortunately, this increase has overwhelmed our one full-time and one part-time staff, causing us to be less effective and unable to assist with direct support law enforcement operations.

On average, one Skull Games event provides enough information to produce three months of work for the ATP intel department. However, all this information needs to be verified and reports written. With one Skull Games per quarter, this workload prohibits us from accepting or fulfilling any other requests from existing or new law enforcement partners.

ATP’s intel department requires an additional full-time or two part-time intel analysts to maintain the growth and expansion that is currently taking place.

We are currently operating with no safe designated meeting place. This unfortunately does not provide the women and children we serve with a sense of stability, since we have to meet with them in various public settings.
