CARLISLE, Pa. — Cumberland County District Attorney Seán M. McCormack announced this week that his office was recently recognized by Leadership Cumberland for its efforts to combat human trafficking in the county.
McCormack’s office, along with YWCA Carlisle & Cumberland County’s Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking Crisis Services, were honored during Leadership Cumberland’s annual “Leaders at Lunch” event at the Carlisle Barracks, the district attorney said in a press release.
