Gang Reduction through Intervention, Prevention and Education
The East Coast Gang Investigators Association, Inc. (ECGIA) is proud to announce it's new program called GRIPE (Gang Reduction through Intervention, Prevention, and Education). ECGIA has been working to educate the communities and those entrusted to work with our youth about gangs. We should all realize that suppression alone would not win the war on gangs. It must be, we believe, a threefold effort to include Education, Prevention and Suppression.
The ECGIA's community mission is simple: shut down the gangs recruitment base, our children. We will achieve this by sharing our wealth of training with our communities and most of all our youth. We will be focusing our training on our children, community workers, teachers, clergy, parents and anyone who comes in contact with our youth. The East Coast Gang Investigators Association will be providing the law enforcement community with the best instructors in the gang discipline so that our members can go forth within their communities to teach and inform about the evils of gangs and how to recognize the first signs of gang involvement.
