 Governor Ivey has awarded almost $200,000 to an Alabama nonprofit organization that combats sex trafficking. The grant money is coming from the U.S. Department of Justice and will be given to Covenant Rescue Group out of Jefferson County. Covenant Rescue provides training, surveillance, and rescue operations for law enforcement agencies and also provides referrals for support and recovery for the victims that have been rescued from the sex trafficking. Governor Ivey said she's pleased to make this award to an organization that is working to stop the criminal activity that's victimizing vulnerable people.
