From the article:
Inspector Jim Klein, commander of the Vice Enforcement Unit, said the increase in investigations is being driven by greater public awareness.
“This is a social media driven crime,” he said. “The pimps and facilitators use social media to advertise their victims.
He said the NYPD will be doing more long-term investigations aimed at buyers and promoters.
In a new initiative aimed at addressing human trafficking, the city’s top cop ordered new training for police on dealing with victims by doubling the size of the NYPD’s vice squad.
Police Commissioner James O’Neill said Wednesday he will add 25 new cops to the citywide Vice Enforcement Unit to conduct trafficking investigations. The NYPD now has a 24-hour hotline for victims and others with information about trafficking to call.
“We (are) altering the law enforcement mindset in training and recognition,” O’Neill said. “We’ve already switched our emphasis from prostitutes and are focusing on pimps and the Johns who pay for their services.”
He said the NYPD will be doing more long-term investigations aimed at buyers and promoters.

Could all this timing really be coincidence? Search human trafficking news with a 24 filter... are there always so many articles? I know, until big names go down I'm not counting any chickens, but still...

Somebody in another thread said that people were told to stay quiet until Feb 1st. Maybe that's why a lot has came out today.

Great to see this but I'm with you until I see some big names go down this could all be a cover to give the appearance they are going to tackle this issue. The shadow government could be behind all of it because they haven't been able to stop PG even though they've certainly tried.
