Alert: Cartels are recruiting your children!

Troopers have seen an increasing trend of cartels using social media to recruit youth for human smuggling operations. These actions endanger not only the youth involved, but also the smuggling victims and our local communities.

Please help us spread the message: human smuggling is a very dangerous and serious crime with severe consequences.

If you have a tip regarding human smuggling, call the Arizona Tip Line at 1-877-429-8477 or visit azdps.gov/tips. You can remain anonymous.
