DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 

The purpose of the Gang Coordinator is to develop an in-depth knowledge of gangs and its members; understand the inner workings of their organizations, with a focus on criminal activities, i.e. (drugs, auto theft, assault and battery, etc.); and develop knowledge of suspects and incidents involving confirmed and suspected gang members and gang related crimes.  With an understanding of community policing objectives and goals, patrol activities are performed in the district to identify those areas infested with gang activities and its members.  Along with the assistance of the community, we can identify, contact, and communicate with the gang members to gain control of the criminal presence in that community.
