Oklahoma is leading the nation with the first statewide, survivor-centered data system designed to identify and respond to human trafficking across sectors. This initiative establishes the legal, policy, and governance framework for a secure, coordinated, and data-driven response.

This report was prepared in partnership with the Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General (OAG), and outlines the foundation—how agencies, service providers, and investigators can safely share information, strengthen accountability, and connect victims to care while protecting confidentiality and compliance. This effort represents a new model for states seeking to transform fragmented responses into a unified system capable of disrupting trafficking networks and protecting those most at risk.

About The Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General
The Oklahoma Human Trafficking Data System Report was commissioned by the Office of the Oklahoma Attorney General (OAG) in response to House Bill 4210 (2022), which directed the state to create a unified, centralized system for identifying and responding to human trafficking. The initiative recognizes that fragmented data and siloed responses have long hindered early identification, survivor protection, and coordinated investigations.

To meet this mandate, the OAG partnered with HTI Labs, a mission-driven research and technology organization with over a decade of experience developing cross-sector anti-trafficking systems. Together, they conducted a six-month discovery phase to design the governance, policies, and infrastructure needed to launch the first statewide anti-trafficking data system in the nation—one that is survivor-centered, legally compliant, and built for collaboration across agencies.
