Check out this major case file video where DSS breaks apart a transnational criminal network!
DSS special agents, investigators, and analysts work in over 270 U.S. embassies and consulates in more than 170 countries, frequently putting DSS at the epicenter of transnational criminal investigations, including those involving human trafficking.
Our global reach extends far beyond U.S. shores. Our focus is to get justice for victims of human trafficking, no matter the country.
DSS works with federal, state, and local law enforcement as well as host country partners to investigate and help combat human trafficking cases. Human trafficking crimes often involve some aspect of passport, visa, or travel document fraud, which is our investigative specialty.
The U.S. Department of State leads the nation’s global engagement to combat human trafficking and supports the coordination of anti-trafficking efforts across the U.S. government.
