SUMMARY:Street Gang Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Provided by: Northeast Counterdrug Training Center Co-hosted by: U.S. Attorney’s Office – Eastern District of Michigan; MAGLOCLEN\, and LEORTC \nThis course explores the current trends\, identifiers\, and dynamics of street gang investigations. Understanding and identifying gang culture both on the street and in correctional facilities requires investigators from both local law enforcement and corrections to work together and share information. \nThe intent of this course is to prepare officers in both large and small agencies to properly identify and interdict gang activity in their respective jurisdictions\, collect and manage their gang intelligence\, and communicate this information with neighboring jurisdictions and correctional facilities. Many states have their own gang enhancement statue\, but it is often not utilized to prosecute at the state level. The instructors of this course will demonstrate how to take the evidence and stored gang intelligence in a gang case and apply it in the courtroom. Not all street gangs establish themselves with a nationally recognized gang name.\nThe instructors will provide reasonable explanations why their local hybrid street gangs are just as violent\, and dangerous as nationally recognized gangs are in larger cities. \nThis class will explain the command structure\, membership requirements\, and adopted signs and symbols\, hybrid gangs will create. Additional gang evidence will also be covered such as step-by-step examples of how to testify as a gang expert\, drug trafficking expert\, armed subject expert\, and cellphone records expert in court\, to assist student’s state’s attorney’s office in prosecuting your local gang members. This course will also explain why your gang investigation unit plays an important role in community trust and show examples of how to build those relationships between police and community. \nWhen:  May 14 -16\, 2025\, sign-ins 7:30am\, class is from 8:00am – 4:00pm \nWhere:  Mott Community College – Southern Lakes Branch\, 2100 W. Thompson Road\, Fenton\, MI 48430. \nCost:  There is no cost for this training. \nTo Register:  Visit the Northeast Counterdrug Training Center’s website at www.counterdrug.org\, NCTC | NCTC\n \nClick on Northeast Counterdrug Training Center “Enter Site”\nFind the training that you would like to register for under Upcoming Training and select “Register”\nLog into your NCTC account (an NCTC account is required to register for training)\nAgree to the Terms and Conditions \nClick on “Register”
