The effort to reduce and prevent sex trafficking took another step forward when Ordinance 2020-0074-E, sponsored by Councilwoman LeAnna Cumber & City Council Vice President TommyHazouri, was signed by Mayor Lenny Curry. This bill will help curb sex trafficking crimes in our community by requiring work identification cards for all performers in adult entertainment establishments and by raising the minimum age of performers from 18 to 21. It also establishes the Sex Trafficking Survivors Leadership Council, which gives survivors of these crimes a greater voice and role in how Jacksonville addresses these crimes.
The Mayor’s Community Based Crime Reduction Program could not be a success without the support of our Community Partners. We truly appreciate their contributions that provide vital resources and reduce crime in Northwest Jacksonville's most vulnerable neighborhoods. Visit our Community Partners' websites for more details by clicking on their logos. The Mayor’s Community Based Crime Reduction Program is governed by the CBCR Steering Committee.
