Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
Peter Warrack led the creation of Project Protect, a partnership that targets human trafficking by focusing on money laundering. Financial institutions, regulators and law enforcers collaborate their efforts to identify financial patterns that indicate criminal activity linked to human trafficking. Unique to Canada and a model for international agencies, the project has furnished information used to identify trafficking rings and to rescue victims trapped in desperate circumstances.
