The Criminal Investigations Department boss has highlighted the evolving nature of human trafficking.
She explained that criminals are now using advanced technology to carry out their illegal activities.
These methods include social media and encrypted platforms to identify and recruit victims.
The exploitation of victims is also happening across national borders.
This increasing sophistication demands a new approach from law enforcement agencies.
The CID boss stressed the need for updated strategies to combat this growing problem.
Authorities are working to understand and counter these new trafficking trends.
This situation requires continuous adaptation by police to protect vulnerable individuals.
