The
Florida Gang Investigator’s Association was formed in 1993, by
criminal justice professionals, to promote and facilitate the exchange
of gang intelligence and information among those professionals actively
involved in the investigation and prosecution of criminal street gangs,
prison gangs, extremist groups, supremacist groups and their membership.
The main goal of the Association is to effectively and positively impact
and ultimately eliminate the effects of gang violence and gang related
crimes perpetrated by gang members whose actions adversely affect and
constitute a threat to the public.

A Gang Free Florida
The
FGIA is always looking to develop new initiatives that will dramatically
impact the rising gang threat in Florida. In 2006, the
FGIA developed an initiative called “A Gang Free Florida.” We could tell right away that we had something and quickly coined this
as the title of our overall anti-gang strategy and mission. Please learn
more about this specific initiative at www.gangfreeflorida.com. Some
new and very cool ideas are in development.
Please take the time to browse
all of the pages within the FGIA Website and familiarize yourself with
the history of the FGIA all the way through to the future of one of
the world’s most respected and active gang associations.
