Restoring Hope Through Knowledge: Joseph and Joshua Travers at Street Cop Conference 2025

In an era where law enforcement is constantly evolving, one truth remains: the safety of our children is non-negotiable. That’s why this year’s Street Cop Training Conference 2025 is a significant milestone—not just for professionals in the field, but for every child whose life may one day depend on their training.


Joseph and Joshua Travers, the father-and-son leadership duo behind Saved in America, were among this year’s elite speakers. With over a decade of combined experience recovering missing and exploited children, they bring unmatched insight into how private sector intelligence and licensed investigation can work in tandem with law enforcement to prevent child sex trafficking.


Their insight goes beyond traditional recovery operations. They presented hard-won tactics, shared de-identified case studies, and explored why an interdisciplinary approach is essential. Joseph’s background as a licensed investigator and Joshua’s law enforcement experience serve as dual lenses into the increasingly complex web of trafficking networks across the U.S.

At its core, their message is clear: collaboration saves lives.


As attendees learn the signs, patterns, and legal boundaries to watch for, they’re not just acquiring skills—they’re becoming part of a national safety net. If we are to combat the epidemic of child sex trafficking, we must invest in the training, tools, and partnerships that enable results.
