Regina, SK – The Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) and Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers have launched a province-wide campaign, sponsored by Aero Delivery, to help combat exploitation and human trafficking, fraudulent activity, and the use of fraudulent documents within the trucking industry.
The initiative features four bold “See Something, Say Something” decal designs that will be placed on the rear of commercial truck trailers operating across Saskatchewan. The campaign encourages drivers and the public to report suspicious activity anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
“The trucking industry travels every highway and into every community in this province,” said Susan Ewart, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Trucking Association. “Our members are in a unique position to help raise awareness and be part of the solution. This campaign reinforces our commitment to safety, professionalism, and accountability.”
Human trafficking and document fraud are complex crimes that often go unnoticed. By turning trailers into mobile awareness messages, STA and Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers aim to increase reporting and strengthen community vigilance.
“Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers is proud to partner with the Saskatchewan Trucking Association to combat Human Trafficking through increased awareness and reporting. This initiative is not only directed at the transportation sector, but also towards the general public to recognize the indicators of Human Trafficking and take appropriate action by reporting suspicious activity.
Human trafficking is often hidden in plain sight. We urge anyone with information, no matter how minor it may seem, to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously–timely information can assist law enforcement in identifying offenders and safeguarding victims,” said Sgt. James Flynn, Police Coordinator, Crime Stoppers Saskatchewan.
To submit an anonymous tip, contact Crime Stoppers Saskatchewan at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers.
