Gang Enforcement Units

Gang Enforcement Units (GEUs) are specialized teams within law enforcement agencies focused on combating gang-related crime and violence. These units gather intelligence, investigate gang activities, and coordinate with other agencies to disrupt gang operations. Their goals include reducing gang influence in communities, preventing crime, and promoting public safety. GEUs often engage in community outreach, working with local organizations to address underlying issues that contribute to gang involvement, such as poverty and lack of opportunities. By targeting gangs, these units aim to create safer environments for residents and deter individuals from joining gang activities.
