FGIA History

The Association was formed in 1993, by criminal justice professionals, to promote and facilitate the exchange of criminal street gang intelligence and information among criminal justice professionals actively involved in the investigation and prosecution of criminal street gangs and criminal street gang members. The main goal of the Association is to effectively and positively impact and 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.

The Association also created an Executive Board, which is comprised of active Association members elected into specific positions by a majority vote of the active Association members in attendance at the annual training conference. Elected positions shall include the President, the Regional Vice Presidents and the Sergeant at Arms. Executive Board elections are held every two (2) years and there is currently no limit to the number of years a board member can serve.

From the beginning, the Association has always held an annual training conference in October. The purpose of this conference is to promote gang awareness and advocate and encourage the development of new techniques that will aid criminal justice professionals in the identification, documentation and prosecution of criminal street gangs and their members.
