The National Center for Gang Training (NCFGT) was established in 2019 by a juvenile justice professional (and certified gang specialist) who recognized the importance of sharing information and working with law enforcement agencies, social service agencies, community-based organizations and the education system to impact the spread of gangs. By training and bringing together those that are actively involved in the investigation, prosecution, suppression, intervention and prevention of criminal street gangs, prison gangs and extremist groups and their affiliations, the NCFGT will provide a venue not only for training, but also for collaboration and communication across disciplines. The NCFGT works in partnership with fellow gang specialists, investigators and law enforcement experts throughout the world to gain insight and information in the areas of gang prevention, gang intervention, gang enforcement, gang suppression, gang member rehabilitation and gang member re-entry into mainstream society.
