The Special Victims Division investigates complaints and assists victims of the following crimes: Adult Sexual Assaults, Human Trafficking, and Internet Crimes Against Children.
The team’s trauma informed approach strives to build trust as victims come forward to report these intimate crimes. The detectives are specially trained in sexual assault investigations, victimization, and gathering evidence. They are also trained in the intricacies of human trafficking, to include sex trafficking of both adult and juveniles, labor trafficking, and organized prostitution. This division created a community initiative, Not for Sale Nashville, to build public awareness and training around human trafficking in our area.
