First Annual Gang Investigator Conference Meets in Topeka

WIBW | First Annual Gang Investigator Conference Meets in Topeka: "A three-day conference in Topeka is helping law enforcement officers, educators, and social service providers get a grasp on the ever increasing gang problem at the First Annual Kansas Gang Investigators Conference (KGIA).

Participants learned the effects of gang violence on both the local and national level. They also received pertinent statewide updates, including both introductory and advanced gang information.

On the first day, the conference held a four hour 'Gangs 101' session on its first day for everyone. The rest of the conference was exclusively for law enforcement officers and will focus on a wide range of topics, including Mexican-Chicano Gang Influence, the Drug and Gang Nexus, and specific gangs."
