HomeMy WebLinkAboutSH26-015 MOU Simply Report partially signedSIMPLY REPORT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING Between Safe House Project (Simply Report) and Kittitas County Sheriff's Office Regarding Access to Simply Report Platform This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by and between Safe House Project, a national nonprofit organization operating the Simply Report platform (hereafter "SHP"), and Kittitas County Sheriff's Office (APD) (hereafter "The Agency") for the purpose of authorizing access to the Simply Report dashboards for designated investigative personnel. PURPOSE The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to establish a collaborative agreement between Kittitas County Sheriff's Office ("The Agency") and Safe House Project ("SHP") regarding the appropriate access, use, and responsibilities associated with the Simply Report platform. Simply Report is a secure, technology -based system designed to facilitate the identification of suspected human trafficking, coordinate timely and appropriate response efforts, and enhance national capacity to disrupt trafficking networks. This MOU defines the roles and expectations for law enforcement personnel accessing the platform in an investigative capacity. It outlines procedures to support interagency coordination, ensure appropriate handling of sensitive information, and protect the integrity of the system and the safety and autonomy of survivors. It also affirms both parties' shared commitment to using this tool to: • Facilitate investigative follow-up on suspected trafficking cases; • Promote transparency and reduce duplication through agency deconfliction; • Strengthen real-time and ongoing coordination among local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement entities; • Ensure that personally identifiable information (PII) is protected and only accessible by authorized individuals with a legitimate investigative purpose; • Preserve trauma -informed, survivor -centered practices by limiting the use and distribution of sensitive data; • Maintain a secure and auditable system for coordination and action that supports, but does not replace, traditional investigatory or emergency protocols. Through this agreement, the Agency affirms its commitment to adhere to the role -specific access permissions and responsibilities outlined in this document and related operational policies issued by Safe House Project, including applicable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). This collaboration is intended to strengthen the Agency's efforts to identify, investigate, and disrupt human trafficking while ensuring the responsible use of digital investigative and coordination tools. BACKGROUND Human trafficking remains one of the most pervasive and underreported crimes in the United States, requiring coordinated, multi -jurisdictional, and trauma -informed responses. Safe House Project is a national non-profit organization dedicated to the eradication of human trafficking through survivor identification, emergency response coordination, strategic partnerships, and capacity -building for agencies across the public and private sectors. To support its mission, Safe House Project developed the Simply Report platform — a proprietary, secure, and survivor -centered reporting and coordination tool that enables the public, frontline professionals, and partner agencies to report suspected trafficking, access services, and coordinate response efforts. The platform is designed to address long-standing gaps in victim identification, case coordination, and investigative transparency across jurisdictions and systems. Simply Report serves as both a technology solution and a strategic infrastructure to: • Increase the identification of victims of trafficking; • Route emergency or life -risk reports to appropriate responders, including Public Safety Answer Points (PSAP); • Facilitate follow-up by law enforcement and other authorized agencies; • Provide anonymized or redacted data to support strategic prevention and outreach; • Preserve survivor autonomy and safeguard sensitive data; • Promote deconfliction and collaboration between agencies and across jurisdictional boundaries. Recognizing that law enforcement agencies are key partners in identifying and disrupting trafficking networks, this MOU establishes the framework for how the Kittitas County Sheriff's Office will participate in Simply Report as an authorized user with investigative responsibilities. It also ensures that all personnel operating within the platform do so in accordance with clearly defined permissions, access tiers, and shared standards for ethical use, compliance, and coordination. This MOU is one component of Safe House Project's broader collective impact model to empower survivor recovery, enhance investigative outcomes, and deliver actionable insights to those best positioned to respond — while protecting the individuals and communities most vulnerable to exploitation. DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the following definitions shall apply: 1. Law Enforcement Agency (LEA): A municipal, county, state, tribal, territorial, or federal agency legally authorized to enforce criminal law, conduct investigations, and support prosecution of offenses, including human trafficking. 2. Investigator -Level Access: A tier of Simply Report access granted to individuals within a law enforcement agency who are responsible for conducting or directly supporting criminal investigations. This includes: • Sworn law enforcement officers, detectives, task force agents, and prosecutors; • Civilian employees such as intelligence analysts who provide direct investigative support. Investigator -level access includes visibility into full report content, personally identifiable information (PII), uploaded attachments, and investigative notes. It also includes nationwide search capabilities. 3. State Hotline -Level Access: A limited -access tier for designated civilian users within a law enforcement agency who do not have investigatory responsibilities but require access for statistical tracking, compliance reporting, or administrative purposes. These users: • May only view reports within the agency's Area of Responsibility (AOR); • Cannot view PII, attachments, or case notes; • Cannot enter or modify case information. 4. Area of Responsibility (AOR): The jurisdictional area in which an agency or user has lawful authority to operate or investigate, such as a city, county, state, tribal territory, or other defined region. 5. Point of Contact (POC): An individual designated by the LEA to oversee and manage the agency's participation in Simply Report. The POC is responsible for: • Approving user registration requests; • Ensuring that users are appropriately assigned access levels; • Notifying Safe House Project of changes in personnel or user eligibility; • Participating in annual user access reviews. 6. Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Any information that may identify or locate an individual, including but not limited to names, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, photographs, and report narratives containing descriptive detail. Pit is only visible to users with Investigator -level access and only when voluntarily submitted by the reporter. 7. Disposition: A required or recommended field for certain users to record the status or outcome of a report (e.g., "Follow-up Initiated," "No Action Required," "Referred to Another Agency"). Used for coordination and deconfliction across agencies. 8. Notes: A field within Simply Report used to document investigative activity, provide coordination updates, and support interagency communication. Users with Investigator -level access are encouraged to use this field to indicate when a report is actively being followed up on. 9. Simply Report Platform: A proprietary technology -based reporting and coordination system developed and administered by Safe House Project. The platform facilitates secure, consent -based submission and management of suspected trafficking reports, supports multi -agency coordination, and protects survivor information and system integrity. 10. Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP): A designated emergency communications center responsible for receiving 911 calls and dispatching emergency response services. Within the Simply Report platform, PSAPs are authorized external users whose access is limited to life -risk or time -sensitive reports that are automatically routed to their dispatch dashboard based on jurisdiction. PSAPs have view -only access to such reports and are required to acknowledge and assign a disposition upon review. PSAPs do not conduct investigations and are not permitted to search or browse reports within the platform.
