PRLog (Press Release) - Sep 30, 2011 -
The Florida Gang Investigator’s Association was formed in 1993, by criminal justice professionals, to pro- mote and facilitate the exchange of gang intelligence and information among those professionals actively involved in the investigation and prosecution of criminal street gangs, prison gangs, extremist groups, supremacist groups and their membership. The main goal of the Association is to effectively and positively impact and ultimately eliminate the effects of gang violence and gang related crimes perpetrated by gang members whose actions adversely affect and constitute a threat to the public.

Corrections Security Threat Intelligence Unit is responsible for identifying and managing any inmate or group of inmates who present a security risk or otherwise pose a threat to the safe and orderly operation of our detention facilities.

This award was presented to the unit on August 2, 2011, at the FGIA Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Sheriff Ric Bradshaw states "Our mission is to safeguard the lives and property of the people and communities we serve, to reduce crime, and to enhance public safety while work- ing with our diverse communities to improve their quality of life."
