Gangs - An Introduction (TCOLE)

This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE)  elective Gangs - An Introduction online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

 

This course is an introduction to the nature of gangs, the types of gangs you may encounter, and basic instruction in dealing with gangs and gang members. In 2005 the National Alliance of Gang Investigators Association conducted a study and concluded, ...once found principally in large cities, violent street gangs now affect public safety, community image, and quality of life in communities of all sizes in urban, suburban, and rural areas. No region of the United States is untouched by gangs. Gangs affect society at all levels, causing heightened fears for safety, violence, and economic costs.

 

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
