In October 2025, the Human Trafficking Training Center, led by Dan Nash, coordinated a first-of-its-kind nationwide proactive safeguarding effort—Operation Coast-to-Coast—organized out of the Iowa Department of Public Safety. This landmark operation brought together law enforcement agencies, analysts, and technology partners across the U.S. with one unified goal: to proactively identify and recover victims of human trafficking.
Our CEO, Cara Jones, had the privilege of observing the day’s activities from inside the State Fusion Center’s command room. Through live on-site camera feeds, she witnessed the collaboration between the Fusion Center, Iowa DPS Traffic Jam users, the Chief of the Fusion Center, former HSI leadership, State Attorney General prosecutors, and Dan Nash himself.
Throughout the operation, Marinus Analytics’ MPWatch technology played a vital role in supporting investigative teams with real-time, data-driven insights. Cara shared eight actionable MPWatch leads with law enforcement during the day, empowering officers to locate at-risk individuals faster and more effectively.
The results speak volumes. Within 12 hours of one of those leads being passed along, the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force successfully recovered a 15-year-old missing victim.
This is what technology for good looks like—data transformed into life-saving action.
At Marinus Analytics, we’re honored to stand alongside partners like the Human Trafficking Training Center and law enforcement professionals nationwide who dedicate their lives to protecting the vulnerable. Every successful intervention reminds us why we do what we do.
