Gang
Intelligence is responsible for sharing information and working with social service agencies, community-based organizations
and the education system to impact the spread of gangs.
By bringing together those that are actively
involved in the investigation, prosecution, suppression, intervention and prevention of criminal street gangs, prison gangs
and extremist groups and their affiliations, the Gang Investigators will provide a venue for collaboration and communication
across disciplines.
Investigators work in partnership with fellow gang investigators and
law enforcement associations throughout the country to develop anti-gang strategies in the areas of gang prevention,
gang intervention, gang enforcement, gang suppression, gang member rehabilitation and gang member re-entry into mainstream
society
Our mission is
to help the community by:
- Providing
professional training and workshops on gang awareness and identification, female gang members, gangs and rap music, understanding
graffiti, bullying, hate groups, etc for law enforcement officers, social service agencies and community-based organizations.
- Working with school districts in educating staff about gang identifiers and activities.
- Setting up public forums to identify community concerns, brainstorm solutions, implement strategies and action plans
regarding gang violence and develop successful youth violence intervention and prevention strategies.
