The Santa Ana Police Department’s Gang Section is comprised of experienced detectives dedicated to preventing and suppressing gang activity throughout the city.
The Gang Section has developed a departmental gang strategy that incorporates a multi-dimensional approach using the interactive components of:
The Gang Section maximizes it resources through the collaboration of three distinct, yet cooperative, units:
Members of the Enforcement Unit focus their attention on the suppression of illegal gang activities through aggressive street level enforcement, intelligence gathering, and the development of gang expertise.
The Assault and Homicide Units concentrate their efforts on the apprehension and successful prosecution of gang members. Working with the U.S. Attorney and Orange County District Attorney Offices, these units aggressively investigate and prosecute all gang related assaults, robberies, and homicides in a timely fashion.
One of the most effective means of curbing gang violence is to keep potential gang recruits from joining a gang in the first place. For information on how to discourage children from joining gangs click English or Español.
