Intelligence Department
The Florida Gang Investigators Association’s Intelligence Department is dedicated to providing international leadership in acquiring, developing, documenting and disseminating current gang
activities and trends to criminal justice professionals throughout the state, the nation and the world.
The Intelligence Department is also dedicated in working with criminal justice agencies throughout Florida in developing effective intelligence strategies while partnering with our federal partners in ensuring those strategies are consistent with the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan.
In 2006, the Florida Gang Investigators Association recognized that one of our top priorities is to gather the necessary information pertaining to gang trends and criminal activities, throughout Florida. To be effective, this information had to then be collated and disseminated back to the criminal justice professionals tasked with eliminating the threat of gang violence within Florida.
The FGIA adopted the “Intelligence-Led Policing” theory and is establishing one of the most aggressive gang intelligence initiatives of any association in the world by developing a network of gang professionals within the law enforcement, corrections, and juvenile justice and probation and parole disciplines of the criminal justice system.
In this initiative we will gather information on current gang activities and trends from all sixty-seven (67) counties within Florida and collate that information into a report, which will then be disseminated back to the criminal justice community, our membership, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI’s National Gang Intelligence Center.
Additionally, the Intelligence Department will work in partnership with the FGIA’s Training Department to determine, develop and administer professional training in the gang intelligence cycle as well as developing unique initiatives to make the criminal justice community aware of the most current gang threats that have the most
significant impact on to the public safety of those who live in or visit Florida every day.
