Gangs 101

This 3-day training was developed by the Institute for Intergovernmental Research and the National Youth Gang Alliance and will be delivered via the RCPI National Network. This effort is made possible as a result of a partnership between the Missouri-Regional Community Policing Institute at Missouri Western State University and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.

“Gangs 101” is designed for delivery at the local level by the cadre of “Gangs 101” subject matter experts who have been identified by the RCPI National Network for delivery to local law enforcement attendees.

This training is designed to supplement ongoing training efforts or to serve as a starting point for agencies that wish to engage in more training both inside and outside their organizations.

The course is presented in a three-day format in ten modules. These modules include:

  • National Gang Overview

  • Why and How Youth Join Gangs

  • Conducting a Comprehensive Community Gangs Assessment

  • Community Responses to Gangs

  • Gangs Prevention and Intervention

  • Gangs Suppression Strategies and Tactics

  • Gangs and Schools
