ABOUT[edit]

Atlantic Counter Trafficking[1], is a counter human trafficking[2] nonprofit organization founded in 2020 by Nicholas DeFelice and Justin Yodice, based out of Long Island, New York. The organization is tasked with disrupting human trafficking networks by disseminating actionable intelligence to Law Enforcement within the United States. ACT works closely with aftercare organizations to help aid in the recovery of victims and help expose their offenders. ACT disseminates intelligence products, derived from targeted investigations and aftercare victims, in order to assist law enforcement in conducting arrests, leading to the conviction of traffickers. Several methodologies to conduct collections are used, such as Human Intelligence (HUMINT)[3] to develop sources and gather leads, while applying Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and scrape dark web[4] data for trafficking operations. ACT's primary goal is to assist and expand upon Law Enforcement's investigations and human trafficking department and resources. ACT also provides agencies with the training to: find, fix, and prosecute those responsible, recognize the signs of human trafficking, and employ intelligence and investigative techniques.[5][6]
