Liberty is a city in Clay County, Missouri, United States, and is a suburb of Kansas City. Its population is about 32,000, and it serves as the government seat of Clay County. Prostitution activity has been well-documented in the city and surrounding communities, and in other areas of the county.  This activity and the problems and ancillary crimes it generates result in complaints to law enforcement agencies from residents and businesses.

Consumer level demand provides the revenue stream for all prostitution and sex trafficking, and a local public education program targeting sex buying activity was implemented in the city. Relentless Pursuit Outreach and Recovery has a demand reduction program based in Liberty that focuses on holding buyers accountable and have the public recognize the responsibility of the buyer in generating prostitution and sex trafficking markets.  Among the tactics it supports are identity disclosure and IT-based tactics.
