CHICAGO (CBS) — The Cook County Sheriff's Office is partnering with Uber to help survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence get around so they can access services and get their everyday needs.
Uber is giving $10,000 in vouchers to the sheriff's office. Sheriff Tom Dart said they deal with five to six cases a day, and that's just in his jurisdiction.
