New Jersey Senator Spends Time & Effort On Human Trafficking

There is quite a bit on the plate of the New Jersey 2nd District Senator. Human trafficking is a much bigger issue than many people realize. It’s happening amongst us on a regular basis.

Child & Adult Human Trafficking

It’s not just child who are trafficked. It also happens to adults, which may come as a surprise to many.

New Jersey Senator Vince Polistina

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Senator Polistina participated during a very important panel discussion during the 2026 Volunteers of America Delaware Valley's Human Trafficking Summit.

The Polistina Perspective

This year's discussion was especially meaningful as our region prepares to host the World Cup. I joined fellow Senator Angela McKnight, law enforcement representatives from New Jersey and New York, and other subject matter experts to discuss our shared roles and responsibilities in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors, said Polistina.

Polistina Thanks To The Volunteers

Thank you again to Volunteers of America for hosting this important conversation, and for the vital work you and so many of our social service organizations provide. Thank you as well to our law enforcement community for your efforts in preparing for this major event and for the service you provide each and everv day, said Polistina.
