Questions?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Our community has various issues with street gangs and motorcycle gangs as well as drug sales and use. We have very little funding available to provide training to educate law enforcement on these topics and many of the usual resources (NCTC, MAGLOCLEN) have reduced their training due to a reduction in funding.
