In surveys, Texas law enforcement agencies were asked to give an estimate of the number of gangs active in their jurisdictions. Police and school district departments reported a total of almost 3,000 gangs. The responding Sheriff’s Departments reported 319 gangs, and responding prosecutors reported 2,165 gangs in their jurisdictions. The largest cities and counties account for the great majority of the gangs and gang members. Major metropolitan jurisdictions reported 4,146 gangs and 73,621 gang members. Departments at the 100-500,000 level reported almost 600 gangs and 11,750 gang members. Ninety of the 207 departments serving fewer than 10,000 residents reported that there are no gangs in their jurisdictions. This conference will present speakers who bring various perspectives to the issue of gangs in Texas generally and El Paso specifically. One of the top gang experts in El Paso law enforcement who has first hand experience in investigating and breaking up gangs in and around the El Paso area will discuss local issues, threats, and successes in combating the gang problem. Prison gangs, their mindsets, behaviors, structures, and tattoos will be discussed by Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Security Threat Group personnel. A former police detective and author of an award-winning book on gangs will present an overview of gang development.
