The Issue For many children and teens, their online world is significantly intertwined with their offline world. Whether they’re making friends, doing homework, being entertained, playing games, and sometimes even going to school, the internet is a daily and essential part of their lives. In the online world, there is capacity for a much broader reach than most in person interactions, a power that can have both positive and negative consequences. There are risks every time someone opens a browser, starts a new chat, or downloads a new game. Online safety is about educating children and teens to help navigate those risks and know when to talk to someone they trust.

OUR RESCUE utilizes trained dogs for USB and IT searches to hunt the electronic devices used to pass along the exploitation of human trafficking. These dogs are rigorously trained, loved, and become strong devoted companions to the men and women who they serve.

Our Rescue aims to expand its reach and impact by increasing the number of trained law enforcement personnel, enhancing its technological capabilities, and strengthening global partnerships to combat these crimes both within the United States and internationally.

From prevention to intervention, Our Rescue is there when needed. We work with partners and communities around the globe to provide essential services to people who have been or could be sex trafficked and exploited. Our unique approach lies in the way we integrate support and resources for law enforcement during rescue efforts AND provide survivor care at scale—a critical differentiator that amplifies our impact.

“Our Rescue,” formerly known as Operation Underground Railroad, is actively working in the United States to combat sex trafficking and child exploitation (Mission Across USA 8/11/2025).

Together with two powerful partners, Skull Games Solutions and We Fight Monsters, we’ve launched a bold new effort: the Interstate Justice Coalition. This is a coordinated, multi-state surge operation across the U.S., conducted hand-in-hand with law enforcement from at least four different states. While many details must remain confidential to protect survivors and ensure operational security, here’s what we can tell you:

The mission is already in progress. Our top priority is to disrupt trafficking networks and support the rescue of those being exploited. Your support will directly fuel this operation, from intelligence gathering to survivor care. We’re calling on those who care about protecting communities — yours, and others just like it — to stand with us. Your donation today helps fund immediate, on-the-ground efforts to fight human trafficking and bring hope where it’s needed most.

This is real. It’s urgent. And we can’t do it without you. Please watch the video for more information:

A Brief explanation of OUR RESCUE mission and understanding of goals and accomplishments by Jerry Gowen, Director:

Your donations make a direct and meaningful impact in the fight to end child trafficking and exploitation. I am pleased to share that we are continuing to grow and evolve, with the goal of deepening our impact and strengthening our ability to serve survivors and support law enforcement. Globally we are now more nimble, introducing a regional surge model to enable targeted, short term deployments in key geographical areas. We are also expanding our U.S. based efforts by placing more ESD K9s and through core programs including ICAC Connect.

Hopefully you have seen some of the recent successes that we have shared online through our social media channels. I encourage you to learn more about the impact of your contribution in our 2024 Annual Report and by following us online. A current coordinated six-week international surge operation across 10 countries, Operation Global Impact 2025, has resulted in 112 suspects arrested, 44 minors rescued, and 58 adults rescued. This is just one of many efforts this year driving our mission forward—rescuing victims, dismantling trafficking networks, and restoring hope.
