Covenant Rescue Group

The Covenant Rescue Group (CRG) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to combating human trafficking globally. Founded in June 2019 by former US Navy SEAL Jared Hudson and his wife, CRG focuses on providing funding, training, and equipment to support law enforcement agencies and other organizations in their efforts to rescue victims and prosecute traffickers.

Mission and Activities

CRG's mission is to bring hope and freedom to victims of human trafficking by facilitating real rescues, arrests, and prosecutions. They achieve this by organizing and funding operations, often involving undercover child exploitation stings and rescue missions aimed at dismantling human trafficking rings. Additionally, CRG advocates for awareness about the global issue of human trafficking through various media channels and conferences.

Team and Operations

CRG's team includes former military special operations personnel, law enforcement officers, business executives, and other committed individuals, with an emphasis on anonymity to ensure operational safety and effectiveness. They work collaboratively with like-minded organizations and law enforcement agencies to equip first responders with the necessary financial support and training.
