Strategy 3 - Intensify accountability mechanisms for gangrelated violations / offenses .
Research consistently demonstrates that individuals are significantly more criminally active during gang membership , particularly in serious and violent offenses . Further , prolonged periods of gang involvement are associated with higher levels of criminal involvement . Therefore , DCS must respond to the public outcry surrounding gang violence . By intensifying our accountability mechanisms , we aim to decrease the time it takes to apprehend fugitives that have committed gang-related violations . The components of this strategy include : ( A ) Policy Mandated For-Cause Searches ( B ) Annual DCS Led Statewide Gang Operation ( C ) Prioritize Gangs in Quarterly Immediate Response Team ( IRT ) Warrant Service ( D ) Additional 2 Task Force Officers on Georgia Bureau of Investigation ( GBI ) Gang Task Force ( E ) Incorporate District Security Threat Group ( STG ) Coordinators on IRTs ( F ) Quarterly STG Intelligence Report . Additionally , we are reserving space on our FY 23 Research Agenda for developing and piloting a community-based Gang-Renunciation Program .
