Parole agents assisting other agencies targeting human trafficking operations were recognized by sheriff’s offices in Los Angeles and Stanislaus counties.

Division of Adult Parole Operations agents with the Community Compliance Unit were involved in the multi-agency Operation Reclaim and Rebuild. Thanks to the efforts of all involved, there were multiple arrests and two victims were rescued.

The statewide operation was led by the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force.

In late January, Parole Agent II Nathan Galbraith joined members of the Los Angeles task force to conduct compliance checks on six supervised persons who are also registered sex offenders.

The operation resulted in multiple arrests.

Galbraith also located and recovered multiple firearms from one supervised person during their compliance check.

On Feb. 3, the Los Angeles County Sheriff Luna held a press conference regarding the ongoing human trafficking operations. The sheriff specifically recognized Galbraith as being instrumental in the arrest related to the investigation.

The statewide operations targeted individuals involved in the three pillars of human trafficking while also providing support to survivors.

HEAT conducted operations throughout the last week of January, targeting traffickers, sellers, and buyers of commercialized sex trafficking.

Sanborn participated Jan. 29-31, 2026, assisting the HEAT team. Conducting undercover surveillance, Sanborn also augmented the Quick Reaction Force (QRF) to help arrest those involved in human trafficking.

Over a three-day period, Sanborn assisted with 27 arrests resulting in one arrest being a sex trafficker and two arrests resulting in a victim being rescued. Several of the arrested individuals also had outstanding warrants and were in possession of controlled substances or contraband.

Agent Sanborn was recognized by the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office for his outstanding work by working three long days, including the weekend and time away from his family.
