ATLANTA ~ ATLANTA - In an effort to combat human trafficking in the state of Georgia, First Lady Marty Kemp and GBI Director Chris Hosey have joined forces to promote the See Something, Send Something app. This public service announcement, released today, highlights the importance of reporting suspicious activity related to human trafficking and other crimes.

Georgia is a major destination for human trafficking due to its position as an international transportation hub and its extensive highway system. The See Something, Send Something app, available for download on Apple and Android devices, makes it easy for individuals to anonymously report concerning behavior.

First Lady Marty Kemp emphasized the critical role that citizens play in raising awareness and taking action against human trafficking. "As we work to educate people about the risks and signs of human trafficking, it's crucial that Georgians know how to report suspicious activity," she stated. "By downloading this app and reporting concerning behavior, you can help end human trafficking in our communities."

GBI Director Chris Hosey echoed this sentiment, stating that Georgia is committed to eliminating human trafficking and ensuring that traffickers no longer operate within the state. "The See Something, Send Something mobile app is a powerful tool in the fight against human trafficking," he said. "Every voice matters. Download the app, learn the signs of human trafficking, and join us in the fight for victims."
