Human Trafficking Awareness - Police Dept./Hopkinton High School Student Collaboration:
The Hopkinton Police Department collaborated on the topic of human trafficking, with Hopkinton High School students Evelyn Larter, Maya Collins and Reese Robledo.

As part of their initiative, they created an infographic designed to help educate the public on how to recognize signs of human trafficking and access resources for prevention and victim support.
