ADF launches New Law Enforcement Capabilities to Speed Modern Slavery Investigations  

Bethesda, Maryland: ADF Solutions’ new Anti-Human Trafficking Search Profiles were built in conjunction with the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative (ATII) to help law enforcement quickly identify and investigate human trafficking at the scene of the crime. 

“Front-line law enforcement agents and specialized Human Trafficking Task Forces now have a new powerful tool to help quickly identify potential human trafficking with ADF’s automated digital forensic software.” stated Bret Peters, CEO of ADF Solutions. “We focus heavily on speed for investigators since time is a critical factor in identifying and protecting victims. The ATII Team made it easy for us to deliver meaningful capabilities to law enforcement.”

Four new ADF Search Profiles leverage hash values and PhotoDNA to alert investigators of potential human trafficking to include sexual exploitation and labor trafficking. ADF software has been known for more than fifteen years as a leader for investigators working Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) investigations. These new ATII Search Profiles extend ADF’s digital intelligence reach beyond the software’s built-in Project VIC and CAID capabilities, to help focus field agents in important evidence that will help them follow money to fight modern slavery. 

"We are proud to partner with a digital forensics titan like ADF Solutions”, stated Aaron Kahler, Founder and CEO of the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative. “ADF’s unwavering dedication to providing law enforcement with tools to fast-track investigations made them a natural choice for our first anti-human trafficking product released specifically for law enforcement. If you investigate human trafficking, child exploitation and CSAM, we designed this powerful partnership with you in mind."

The partnership between the Anti-Human Trafficking Intelligence Initiative and ADF Solutions begins a joint collaboration to further empower field agents that come face to face with human trafficking on a daily basis. The rapid growth in digital data means that investigators have less time to search more data for relevant information. The ADF ATII Search profiles are designed to provide police and field agents with both speed and accuracy.
