“Multi-agency Participation” is a dynamic workshop designed to break down the silos between law enforcement and the diverse sectors that influence community safety. Facilitated by the Gang Investigators Association, this session moves beyond traditional policing to build a unified front against gang violence by integrating the unique “levers” of various public and private organizations. 

Session Overview

• The “Whole-of-Community” Approach: Understand how to synchronize efforts across law enforcement, probation, social services, schools, and faith-based organizations to create a “surround sound” of support and accountability.
• Resource and Intelligence Sharing: Learn best practices for legal and effective information-sharing protocols that connect police data with school safety reports and social service assessments.
• Role-Specific Levers: Discover how non-police partners can use civil remedies—such as housing code enforcement, school safety zones, or job placement incentives—to disrupt criminal activity and offer credible exits from gang life.
• Building Collective Responsibility: Practical exercises on moving from a “not my job” mentality to a co-located or collaborative model where all agencies share ownership of community outcomes.
• Case Management Coordination: Strategies for aligning individual “client” plans so that a youth’s probation requirements, educational goals, and mental health treatments are working in tandem rather than at cross-purposes. 

This meetup is ideal for command-level officers, probation leads, school administrators, and non-profit directors looking to maximize their impact through strategic partnership.
