Yearlong effort takes on human trafficking in Eden Prairie

Going after human traffickers takes substantial law enforcement resources, which makes it difficult for suburban police departments to commit to such intensive initiatives.

But as part of its “blueprint for success” planning agenda for 2016, Eden Prairie police finished a yearlong, three-pronged approach that netted the arrests of 27 pimps and johns. The effort also included victim outreach and recovery, and public education through speaking at civic, professional and religious organizations.
