?? Every day, 150,000 new escort ads flood the internet. Hidden among them are victims of human trafficking. ?? Many law enforcement agencies lack the time or resources to sift through this overwhelming data. That’s where Guardian Group’s PAIR Reports come in—leveraging Publicly Available Information to identify potential victims and provide valuable information to law enforcement at no cost. ?? Read our latest article to learn how PAIR Reports are making a difference and how YOU can support this crucial initiative. #GuardianGroup #EndHumanTrafficking #LawEnforcement #OSINTforGood #Project1591

?? 99.6% of trafficking victims remain unidentified. Without identification, there’s no recovery, no justice, and no healing. “Society cannot address what it cannot identify.” – John Cotton Richmond At Guardian Group, we know that victim identification is the first step in the fight against trafficking. That’s why Project 1591 is using Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to identify victims to law enforcement for faster recovery. ?? $100,000 in aftercare supports 1 survivor. ?? The same amount invested in Project 1591 supports 250 survivors. Want to make an impact? ? Volunteer – Use your OSINT skills to help identify victims ? Give – Every donation fuels life-saving identification efforts. Read more & get involved: ?? #EndTrafficking #Project1591 #GuardianGroup #BeTheKey #OSINTforGood

Watching the Operation IFAST program come to life has been such an exciting process! Chris Lovell thank you for your dedication to this mission and for championing this project. We couldn't agree more with everything you said. 100% of sex traffickers use the internet and the ISP industry is joining the fight to stop this horrific crime.

We are proud to share that 2024 ended by reaching a historic milestone in our mission to combat domestic sex trafficking. We successfully identified the 1,000th potential victim of sex trafficking here in the US since 2018 when the victim identification program began. This milestone is a testament to the tireless work of our team, expert Project 1591 global volunteer force, and dedicated supporters who have made it possible to identify these victims to our committed law enforcement partners for action.

You've asked so here is the Googly Eye story! ?? What started as a classic Jeff Keith prank has taken on a life of its own. Jeff, our fearless leader, the founder and CEO of Guardian Group, is an all-time prankster. If you know him at all chances are you've been the subject of one of his pranks. For years Jeff has looked for opportunities to make people laugh as a way to relieve the stress from what we do here at Guardian Group. Back in September, he placed some googly eyes on a few statues here in Bend, and shortly thereafter googly eyes began popping up all over town. Very quickly the hunt for Bend, Oregon's "Googly Eye Bandit" swept the internet, even being featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We are looking for victims of trafficking and now the googly eye represents that. Start the movement in your community and help us spread hope to those waiting to be found. What will you be putting googly eyes on (safely and affixed appropriately to avoid damage) this week? Tag us in your pictures! ?? Guardian Group won't stop looking for victims and Jeff won't stop making people laugh. Join us today! #WeAreLooking #GuardianGroup #EndTrafficking

I am proud to announce the identification of our 1,000th?victim in the United States. This significant milestone marks a pivotal achievement in our ongoing efforts to prevent and disrupt the trafficking of women and children in the United States. This number represents not only lives impacted but is also a testament to the unwavering commitment from each of you who have supported this mission. Reaching this marker?is both a humbling and motivating achievement. Each victim is a person with a story and their life is worth celebrating, while simultaneously we know our work is far from over. We are determined to continue our efforts, working hand-in-hand with law enforcement to ensure no more women and children fall into the horrors of trafficking. Our victim identification program began in 2018 and since then has identified just over 1,000 potential victims across 33 states, but the work is far from complete. With trafficking cases on the rise, we remain committed to expanding our reach and partnerships to identify even more victims and disrupt this heinous crime nationwide. I speak for our team and our board of directors when I say we are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support of our donors and volunteers, whose generosity and dedication have made this achievement possible. This milestone is a direct result of their commitment to our mission, and together, we will continue to make a difference in the fight against human trafficking. As we move into 2025 if you haven't already I'm inviting you to join us as a donor or a volunteer. There is more work to be done and I'd be honored to have you come alongside?us in these efforts! Until All Are Free, Jeff Keith Founder + CEO #nonprofit #Impact #GuardianGroup
