Mission
Guardian Group’s mission is to prevent and disrupt the sex trafficking of women and children while enabling partners to identify victims and predators in the United States.
Vision
Our vision is that every child in the US would live free from this form of slavery and the threat of it; where the innocence of all children is reclaimed and restored; and where the Guardian Group is the most trusted and effective resource in the fight against human trafficking in the US. We are seeing this vision come to life of more girls being recovered.

Elevator Speech
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Bend Oregon, we partner with law enforcement across the United States to counter sex trafficking of women and minors. Between 2018 and 2021 Guardian Group identified 265 potential victims of sex trafficking across 18 states, enabling law enforcement to conduct numerous operations. In this timeframe, Guardian Group also trained and educated 10,689 people in the hospitality, law enforcement/first responder, and medical fields, as well as the greater community. Guardian Group’s team utilizes the skills and expertise of elite veteran intelligence analysts to identify and locate women and minors who are victims of sex trafficking. Our support assists local, state, and federal law enforcement in recovering these victims. Further, we provide sector specific training and education either face to face or online across the United States.
