Every gang in the United States is involved in the movement and possession of illegal drugs. The sale of these items and the money associate with those sales is the lifeblood of these groups. Getting in the way of their efforts could and does cost lives.

Besides other rival gangs, the only group of individuals willing to intercede is law enforcement. How we proceed in our investigations and ultimate interdiction must be carefully planned, organized and carried out with officer safety being paramount.

Advanced Gang and Drug Investigations is designed for Law Enforcement Officers involved in the investigation, incarceration and monitoring of gangs. Innovative investigative and interdiction techniques will be illustrated from a synergistic approach for maximum results. Specific street cop tactics will be discussed and shared with attendees to obtain maximum effectiveness when dealing with gang members. Student officers (regardless of their agencies discipline and authority) will be empowered and motivated to work in a coordinated collaborative environment with all available resources and agencies to combat gangs and their illegal operations within their own jurisdictions
