The FBI uses the National Gang intelligence center to spread information about potentially dangerous gangs across the country. The FBI uses task forces to crack down on gang activity and disrupt gang operations. These task forces use the information provided by the NGIC to keep track off certain gangs on monitor where they are operating and who they are operating with in order to efficiently raid and arrest the criminals. They also use the most wanted page in hopes that the citizens will be on the lookout for dangerous criminals who have ties to certain gangs. There's a lot more citizens than cops. Another thing they use is certain task forces for certain criminals activities. They have specialized groups that target a certain gang and what they are doing and work specifically on that gang. They utilize the “Safe Streets” initiative to assign task forces to certain places nationwide. They work with other countries in hope to keep the gangs from penetrating into U.S. territory. They use the ETI method which works with normal patrol activity and advanced monitoring to catch the whole hang in criminal activity. GVFF007
Around 33,000 violent street, motorcycle, and prison gangs are active within the U.S. Through their organization, they are able to use violence to scare communities and increase their money making schemes, including robberies, gun and drug sales and transport, human trafficking, and fraud. In 2005, the National Gang Intelligence Center was created to halt the growth of gangs and criminal related activity. TAG task forces have missions that focus with investigating, disrupting, and breaking apart gangs within the three Central American countries. The task forces work with host nations and agencies to identify targets and such that need to be caught and imprisoned. The officers that work for the TAG task forces are trained in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras based on gang related issues as well as conduct with the FBI. TAG is also the overseer of the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange program that creates opportunities for U.S. law enforcement to work through exchange programs allowing to strengthen gang prevention. Under the FBI’s Safe Streets and Gang unit administers, there are 160 Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Forces throughout the nation. These Task Forces coordinate investigations to gather violations like drug conspiracy and firearm violations. -Jar007
Many things interested me in this website. One thing I didn't know about was that the FBI in 2005 established the National Gang Intelligence Center which integrates gang intelligence from federal, state, and local law enforcements to have have the most accurate up to date gang activity. They track and keep records of the most dangerous gangs around the country. A second thing is one of the many things that we do to interrupt gang activity was creating the Transnational Anti-Gang task force where they currently try to disrupt, investigate, and dismantle some of the harsher gangs in bad areas. The third thing is TAG teams up with host nation agencies to investigate on a wider area. The fourth thing was that they are currently only targeting two major Gangs, the Ms-13 and 18th street which have been on their radar for a while. The fifth thing that caught my eye was that TAG also oversees the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange Program which helps law enforcement on both sides to participate with exchange programs to help with gang prevention. The sixth thing that I noticed is that we collaborate very well within our country and almost always include federal, state and local police forces in trying to stop gang activity. The final thing is that the FBI has a lot of Safe Streets and Gang Units within our country. We currently have 106 violent Safe Streets Task forces. Which is amazing but also believe we need more since gangs are starting to get out of hand in our country. -hollywood007
One thing that I found interesting in this article is that the FBI has 160 Violent Gang Safe Street Task Force nationwide. There are 11 of these task forces in Illinois which is actually really surprising to me because Illinois has more task forces than New York. What was also interesting is the FBI has task forces in Puerto Rico, I would have never thought of that because it is not a State. The FBI in 2005 created the NGIC, National Gang Intelligence Center, to hinder the growth of gangs. The NGIC identifies the most dangerous gang that pose the greatest threats and targets them with techniques that have been used to attack organized crime. Another interesting fact is that the FBI reports that Transnational Gangs are present in almost every state of the United States, they are also continually growing. The TAG Task Force was created to disrupt the Transnational Gangs and is focused on three Central American Countries. -ClarkKent007
In the article it states that to help curb the growth of gangs and related criminal activity, the FBI, at the direction of Congress, established the National Gang Intelligence Center, or NGIC, in 2005. The MS-13 and 18th Street gangs continue to expand their influence in the United States. FBI investigations reveal these transnational gangs are present in almost every state and continue to grow their memberships, now targeting younger recruits more than ever before. The TAG Task Force program’s mission and focus is to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transnational gangs in these three Central American countries, as well as to collect and disseminate intelligence to support related U.S.-based investigations. Each TAG Task Force is staffed with FBI personnel and vetted law enforcement officers from the PolicÃa Nacional Civil. The Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force is the vehicle through which all of the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies collaboratively address the violent crime plaguing communities. Overall this article was very informative and came away with new information. - CUBSFAN007
One of the main purpose of the FBI is too disrupting and dismantling the most significant gangs. Methods that FBI use are intelligence-driven investigations and initiatives and partnerships such as Safe Streets Task Forces, the National Gang Intelligence Center, and Transnational Anti-Gang Task Forces. The NGIC stands forNational Gang Intelligence Center. NGIC integrates gang intelligence from across federal, state, and local law enforcement on the growth, migration, criminal activity, and association of gangs that pose a significant threat to the U.S. Tag force stand for Transnational Anti-Gang. TAG job is to:investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transnational gangs in these three Central American countries, as well as to collect and disseminate intelligence to support related U.S.-based investigations. The Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force is the vehicle through which all of the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies collaboratively. The main job for a VG Task Force is too address the violent crime plaguing communities. Smiles007
One of the first things that stick out to me was that the FBI established the national getting intelligence center in 2005. This has allowed federal, state, and local law-enforcement agencies two better track down gangs that hose significant threats to The United States. The second thing I noticed was they were talking about how transnational gangs are now turning younger recruit. And the government is trying to counter this growth is younger kids joining gangs bye a group called the transnational anti-gang task force initiative. The tagged task force programs mission is to disrupt transitional gangs in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. They utilize the “Safe Streets” initiative to assign task forces to certain places nationwide. They work with other countries in hope to keep the gangs from penetrating into U.S. territory. They use the ETI method which works with normal patrol activity and advanced monitoring to catch the whole hang in criminal activity. -RHB007
The first fact I noticed was that there is about 33,000 violent street gangs, I was surprised to see that included motorcycle gangs. It wasn't surprising to see that after being sent to prison or jail gang members still commit crime. To help slow down the growth of gangs the National Gang Intelligence Center was established in 2005. The NGIC analyzes the gangs that pose the greatest danger. The TAG Task Force focus is to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transnational gangs and to spread intelligence support in relation to the U.S. based investigations. With investigative resources, and different techniques the NGIC uses that to target the gangs. With the MS-13 and 18th street gangs expanding and recruiting younger people. The Transnational Anti Gang and Task Force Initiative are located in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to try and stop the growth and expansion of the gangs. The TAG task force gets together with other agencies to investigate and identify other members of the gang, their location, and leadership. The TAG task force also oversees the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange. This gives U.S. and Central American law enforcement to get more training in gang prevention, intervention, and building law enforcement capacity. 21Miami007
The first thing I found interesting from this article is the fact that the FBI created the National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC). With this, it makes gathering and sharing intelligence about gangs a very simple and effective process. A second thing I found interesting is gangs are targeting younger recruits. This is a bad sign, because as time moves on, the gangs will be recruiting younger and younger kids, adding more and more people to the gang itself. A third thing I learned is the TAG Task Force gets in the way of gangs in three Central American countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras). A fourth thing I found interesting is the fact that the TAG Task Force goes through exchanges with FBI field officials so new practices and ways of gathering intelligence can be learned and put into play. This process helps both the FBI and TAG Task Force stay up-to-date with the methods and strategies they are using for interrupting gangs. A fifth thing I found interesting is that U.S. and Central American law enforcement personal can be included in exchange programs. This would allow more effective gang-prevention strategies and techniques to be put into play. A sixth thing I learned is the fact that 160 Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Forces exist nationwide. This is great to see, as is shows how a lot of effort is being put into stopping gangs. The seventh and final thing I learned is that there are multiple different agencies, programs, techniques, etc. all associated with stopping gangs. I always thought it was simply law enforcement who was involved with gangs. After reading this article, I learned how big of a problem gangs are becoming and how there are multiple attempts to stop as many gangs as possible in their tracks to keep the U.S. safe. -Fozz007
FBI safe streets and gang administer 160 gang involved tasks nationwide, I found that interesting because at a point when gangs feel that it’s too hot to commit negative acts it gets hard to catch them and stay up to date. The violent gang task has a lot of responsibility from proactive activity all the way to criminal investigations. The key concept of the task force is to enterprise theory of investigations. Each task force is fit with FBI personal and vetted Law Enforcement officers. The TAG task force mission is to disrupt and act on transnational gangs. The main gangs that are starting to influence the united states are The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th street gang. The national gang intelligence center was invented to help curb the growth of gangs and the negative acts in which they commit. Safe Streets Task Forces, the National Gang Intelligence Center, and Transnational Anti-Gang Task Forces are divisions in which the FBI has partnered with to try and disrupt gangs Statecamp007
The first thing that I found interesting is that about 33,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs are criminally active in the U.S. today. That is a lot more than I would have expected to be. The next thing I found interesting is that the FBI established National Gang Intelligence Center in 2005. This help slow down the growth of gangs and other criminal activity. By targeting the most dangerous gangs and threats out in the streets, it is an more effective way of handling crime. The next thing that I found interesting is that now that gangs are targeting younger members into their gang The FBI has made the Transnational Anti-Gang Task Force. Their mission is to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transnational gangs in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.The next thing that I found interesting is that the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange program creates opportunities for U.S. and Central American law enforcement personnel to participate in exchange programs to strengthen gang prevention and intervention techniques and to build law enforcement capacity.~Hoop007
The first thing that stood out to me was when it said that there was 33,000 violent street gangs, prison gangs, and motorcycle gangs that are live. I did not know that there was a National Gang Intelligence Center and they basically track data on gangs that are considered dangerous to the United States. I remember the name MS-13 gang but I’ve never heard about the 18th street gang. I think it’s intimidating that they gangs are in almost every state and people keep joining. I thought it was kind of interesting that they are looking for younger member considering that gangs are organized. I feel like they would only be looking for older people. The TAG Task Forces are in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. I did not know that’s where they are because I never hear or see anything about gangs in those three locations. I think it’s a good thing that they also help with investigations in the United States by collecting and spreading intelligence of what they have found. -Soccer31007
The FBI established the National Gang Intelligence Center to help stop the growth of gangs and related criminal activity in 2005. The NGIC supports law enforcement by sharing timely and clear information and by providing intelligence analysis. The NGIC also indentifies the gangs that entails the greatest danger to the communities. The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th street gangs continue to expand in the United States. The FBI investigations reveal that in every state it continues to grow and targeting younger members. The TAG Task Force programs focus is to investigate, disrupt the transnational gangs in three Central American countries which are located in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Also eash TAG Task Force is staffed with FBI personnel and law enforcement officers. The Violet Gang Safe streets task force is the vehicle through all of the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies which address the violent crime plaguing communities. -SR
The first thing that I found interesting is how the F.B.I., in order to combat gangs such as MS-13, they go to Central American countries, and do what they can to stem the flow of those gangs and their influence in America. Gangs come in all colors, and types in America, all have the same goal of dominance through use of illegal acts, gangs get noticed, especially kinds that move across boarders, that is when the Transnational Anti-Gang Task Force goes to work. This gives the F.B.I. the unique opportunity to work with people in those countries to stay out of the gangs. Therefore the National Gang Intelligence Center is an important tool that the F.B.I. can use to fight the influence of gangs at home and abroad. In communities throughout the United States, the F.B.I. has implemented the Safe Streets Task Force, that work to stop the flow of people joining gangs. There are 33.000 gangs in the United States, if the F.B.I. can do what it can under the law to combat gangs, and the crimes that they commit. The more violent the gang the more the F.B.I. will come after them with the use of the law at their disposal. The F.B.I. works hard to work with people around the world, because every country on the planet has gangs. ---YouMustAcquit007---
Alot of things stood out to me reading this article. 1. They use Safe Streets Task Forces, National Gang Intelligence Center, and Transnational Anti-Gang Task Forces to disrupt and dismantle the most significant gangs. 2. NGIC are the ones who identify the gangs that pose the most significant threats to the community. 3. FBI reveals that street gangs continue to spread their influences in almost every state. 4. TAG Task Forces collaborate with host nation agencies to investigate gangs at the transnational level, including by identifying members and groups, or cliques, along with their areas of operation and their leadership structure. 5. These task forces pursue violent gangs through sustained, proactive, coordinated investigations to obtain prosecutions on violations such as racketeering, drug conspiracy, and firearms violations. 6. One of the key facets of a Safe Streets Task Force is the Enterprise Theory of Investigation (ETI). Combining short term, street level enforcement activity with such sophisticated techniques as consensual monitoring, financial analysis, and Title III wire intercepts investigations using ETI aim to root out and prosecute the entire gang. 7. The TAG Task Force initiative also oversees the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange (CALEE) program, which creates opportunities for U.S. and Central American law enforcement personnel to participate in exchange programs to strengthen gang prevention and intervention techniques and to build law enforcement capacity. -freckles007
The National Gang Intelligence Center was formed in the hopes it would slow down or even stop the growing of gangs. This began in 2005. They share information they compile, with law enforcement in the anticipation this will help reduce crime with gangs. The second thing I found interesting is that some big gangs that came from overseas, the FBI has found they are present in every state and are producing younger recruits. The third interesting thing I found is that TAG is a thing set to help counterract the gangs. It is transnational anti-gang task force and they target violent offenders and reach to the leaders of gangs. I also thought it was very interesting how this task force is equipped with FBI members who also train with other law enforcement personnel overseas. I think it is crazy how there are over 33,000 violent street gangs. Each gang, targeting criminal activity differently. I also really like the idea of the CALEE program as I think it is so beneficial for our country and personnel and outsiders as well because we are getting gang members from all over and we are educating ourselves to learn more about these gangs. Lastly, I love the idea of ETI, I think it is such a sophisticated approach to help combat the gangs and to really strike back and touch down deep on how we can end all this violence and prevent the spreading of gang activity. -notacop007
Behind Anti-gang initiatives, there are two different types. Those types are the Nation Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) and the Transitional Anti-gang (TAG) task forces. The Nation Gang Intelligence Center was established in 2005 to help stop gangs and any gang related activity. It integrates gang intelligence in all categories in law enforcement on gang growth, migration, and activity. As for the Transitional Anti-gang task forces, they investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transitional gangs in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. They also collect and disseminate intelligence to help in U.S. related investigations. I find it is interesting how gangs can be so powerful in a community. They are somewhat looked up to and known to not be messed with. Also how gangs are in control of a lot of community businesses. I do like how they have a force from another country that works with the United States to stop the gang activity. -pieface007
One thing that really surprised me is the number of gangs active in the United States. I knew there are a quite a few major gangs, but I wasn’t aware the FBI tracks most of the gangs. Another thing that surprised me was that the FBI also tracks some gangs outside of the United States. I can see why this is helpful, as it could prevent drugs from entering the United States and causing more problems. Another thing that struck me as different is the FBI sends agents and officers to other countries to train their police forces, and they trade agents and officers with other countries to gain information on what certain gangs are doing. One final thing that there are 160 task forces nationwide dedicated to fighting violent crime. Divided evenly, that means there are about three task forces per each state, which means that an entire state could be covered by these task forces, in turn covering the United States as a whole. Redranger007
While reading this article something that was interesting was that most gang are sophisticated and well-organized. I never thought much about gangs, except that they intimidate the neighborhood around them. Also, something that caught my attention was that there are many organizations that the government initiate to dismantle a lot of the crimes that are federal, state, and local. I think that it is very important that they investigate by working together instead of just local having to work on it. Also, it mentioned the gangs Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and 18th street and how it’s becoming a big problem in the states. I knew from before that they were a Central American going rapidly there, but I never realized how much they are branching out making it more dangerous for juveniles. It also mentioned, that most gangs are focusing more on having juveniles to continue growing and distributing the merchandise they have. I think that it’s a good idea for the U.S. to work together with other countries, like the ones in Central America and Mexico because those are the one that have more influence when it comes to drugs and violent crimes like it mentions. Another interesting thing was keeping the street safe, I think looking into and investigating the gangs federally and focusing on organized crime will help fix the problem with juveniles leaving home to join gangs and continue to be in and out of the system. taco007

Therefore the National Gang Intelligence Center is an important tool that the F.B.I. can use to fight the influence of gangs at home and abroad. In communities throughout the United States, the F.B.I. has implemented the Safe Streets Task Force, that work to stop the flow of people joining gangs. There are 33.000 gangs in the United States, if the F.B.I. can do what it can under the law to combat gangs, and the crimes that they commit. The more violent the gang the more the F.B.I. will come after them with the use of the law at their disposal. The F.B.I. works hard to work with people around the world, because every country on the planet has gangs. ---YouMustAcquit007---
ReplyDeleteAlot of things stood out to me reading this article. 1. They use Safe Streets Task Forces, National Gang Intelligence Center, and Transnational Anti-Gang Task Forces to disrupt and dismantle the most significant gangs.
ReplyDelete2. NGIC are the ones who identify the gangs that pose the most significant threats to the community.
3. FBI reveals that street gangs continue to spread their influences in almost every state.
4. TAG Task Forces collaborate with host nation agencies to investigate gangs at the transnational level, including by identifying members and groups, or cliques, along with their areas of operation and their leadership structure.
5. These task forces pursue violent gangs through sustained, proactive, coordinated investigations to obtain prosecutions on violations such as racketeering, drug conspiracy, and firearms violations.
6. One of the key facets of a Safe Streets Task Force is the Enterprise Theory of Investigation (ETI). Combining short term, street level enforcement activity with such sophisticated techniques as consensual monitoring, financial analysis, and Title III wire intercepts investigations using ETI aim to root out and prosecute the entire gang.
7. The TAG Task Force initiative also oversees the Central American Law Enforcement Exchange (CALEE) program, which creates opportunities for U.S. and Central American law enforcement personnel to participate in exchange programs to strengthen gang prevention and intervention techniques and to build law enforcement capacity. -freckles007
The National Gang Intelligence Center was formed in the hopes it would slow down or even stop the growing of gangs. This began in 2005. They share information they compile, with law enforcement in the anticipation this will help reduce crime with gangs. The second thing I found interesting is that some big gangs that came from overseas, the FBI has found they are present in every state and are producing younger recruits. The third interesting thing I found is that TAG is a thing set to help counterract the gangs. It is transnational anti-gang task force and they target violent offenders and reach to the leaders of gangs. I also thought it was very interesting how this task force is equipped with FBI members who also train with other law enforcement personnel overseas. I think it is crazy how there are over 33,000 violent street gangs. Each gang, targeting criminal activity differently. I also really like the idea of the CALEE program as I think it is so beneficial for our country and personnel and outsiders as well because we are getting gang members from all over and we are educating ourselves to learn more about these gangs. Lastly, I love the idea of ETI, I think it is such a sophisticated approach to help combat the gangs and to really strike back and touch down deep on how we can end all this violence and prevent the spreading of gang activity. -notacop007
ReplyDeleteBehind Anti-gang initiatives, there are two different types. Those types are the Nation Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) and the Transitional Anti-gang (TAG) task forces. The Nation Gang Intelligence Center was established in 2005 to help stop gangs and any gang related activity. It integrates gang intelligence in all categories in law enforcement on gang growth, migration, and activity. As for the Transitional Anti-gang task forces, they investigate, disrupt, and dismantle transitional gangs in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. They also collect and disseminate intelligence to help in U.S. related investigations. I find it is interesting how gangs can be so powerful in a community. They are somewhat looked up to and known to not be messed with. Also how gangs are in control of a lot of community businesses. I do like how they have a force from another country that works with the United States to stop the gang activity. -pieface007
ReplyDeleteOne thing that really surprised me is the number of gangs active in the United States. I knew there are a quite a few major gangs, but I wasn’t aware the FBI tracks most of the gangs. Another thing that surprised me was that the FBI also tracks some gangs outside of the United States. I can see why this is helpful, as it could prevent drugs from entering the United States and causing more problems. Another thing that struck me as different is the FBI sends agents and officers to other countries to train their police forces, and they trade agents and officers with other countries to gain information on what certain gangs are doing. One final thing that there are 160 task forces nationwide dedicated to fighting violent crime. Divided evenly, that means there are about three task forces per each state, which means that an entire state could be covered by these task forces, in turn covering the United States as a whole.

While reading this article something that was interesting was that most gang are sophisticated and well-organized. I never thought much about gangs, except that they intimidate the neighborhood around them. Also, something that caught my attention was that there are many organizations that the government initiate to dismantle a lot of the crimes that are federal, state, and local. I think that it is very important that they investigate by working together instead of just local having to work on it. Also, it mentioned the gangs Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and 18th street and how it’s becoming a big problem in the states. I knew from before that they were a Central American going rapidly there, but I never realized how much they are branching out making it more dangerous for juveniles. It also mentioned, that most gangs are focusing more on having juveniles to continue growing and distributing the merchandise they have. I think that it’s a good idea for the U.S. to work together with other countries, like the ones in Central America and Mexico because those are the one that have more influence when it comes to drugs and violent crimes like it mentions. Another interesting thing was keeping the street safe, I think looking into and investigating the gangs federally and focusing on organized crime will help fix the problem with juveniles leaving home to join gangs and continue to be in and out of the system. taco007
