What to Look For and What You Can Do to Address Them. (PowerPoint presentation) – The general purpose of this presentation is to provide our readers/viewers (educators, schools, community members) with basic information related to the identification of activities associated with criminal street gangs and its members. Prepared by Lt. Ken Armstrong and Officer Todd Phillips, Lexington Police Department, June 2008© Hinting, writing, or talking about suicide is a call for help and must be taken seriously. When confronted with a situation in which life-threatening behavior is present, immediate mobilization of all appropriate resources is paramount. Under such conditions, commitment to student confidentiality is superseded by the need to initiate life saving interventions.

The Gangs section of OJP’s CrimeSolutions.gov site provides information about and evaluations of programs related to gang reduction activities.
