Information is an essential tool for law enforcement, and an effective records system is critical in dealing with any gang problem. A gang file should be maintained with the following information: type of gang (street, motorcycle, etc.), ethnic composition, number of active and associate members, territory, hideouts, types of crimes usually committed, method of operation, choice of targets or victims, leadership, and members known to be violent. Officers should maintain records on gangs, gang members, monikers, photographs, vehicles, and illegal activities. Cross-reference the records.
