Gang Databases

        Determine whether your local law enforcement agency uses a gang database. If you do not work at the agency, you may find this information on the Internet or by calling the agency to ask. Post a response that addresses the following: How do your local law enforcement officers identify potential gang members? Does law enforcement in your community rely on a gang database? What are the pros and cons of using a gang database? Should gang databases continue to be used to combat gang-related activities? Why or why not?
