Attorneys general from 36 states, including Tennessee, have written Congressional leaders of their concern with the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Polaris has operated the National Human Trafficking Hotline since 2007 with funding authorized by Congress. The letter says that Polaris only forwards tips to state law enforcement about adult victims in limited circumstances. This practice is contrary to what Polaris advertises, to what states and organizations have come to expect from this partnership, and, the attorneys general believe, to what Congress expects from its funding.
