INTELLIGENCE AND PRO-ACTIVE UNITS
The Gang Division is committed to reducing violent crime in the City of Houston through shared expertise, intelligence and manpower. To accomplish this goal, a task force was formed consisting of members from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Houston HIDTA, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Army National Guard, the Harris County Sheriff’s Department, and the Houston Police Department’s Gang, Homicide, Robbery, Major Offenders, Narcotics, and patrol divisions. The goal of this initiative is to arrest and prosecute targeted gang members in an effort to disrupt and dismantle their violent organizations. The strategy is to focus on investigations of violent crimes committed by gang members and proactively target individual gang leaders.
