Sheriff Scott is one of three appointees on a 19-person panel created to examine the problem of human trafficking and to recommend strategies and actions for reducing or eliminating the unlawful trafficking of men, women and children into Florida. The Statewide Task Force on Human Trafficking was created by the legislature earlier this year. It will implement a plan currently being drafted at Florida State University.
