Gang Response and Intervention Program Project G.R.I.P. , in its first year of funding through a CAPCO grant, is a comprehensive plan utilizing community involvement combined with enforcement and educational techniques to take a "multi- disciplinary approach "I toward solving our growing youth gang problem. This program includes the involvement of not only community based alternative support programs, but also the participation of all branches within the law enforcement community. Furthermore, Project G.R.I.P. would encourage the development of policies and programs by State and local officials to address the social ills caused by youth gangs who are involved in narcotics trafficking. Major segments of Project GRIP are: ENFORCEMENT • Zcro Tolerance - Proactive enforcement including, but not limited to, surveillances, intelligence gathering, street sweeps, aggressive patrol and follow -up investigations of all incidents. • Designation of an officer on each patrol shift to act as a G.R.LP. representative to facilitate the flow of information. Also, this will reinforce the zero tolerance enforcement concept among line officers. • Designation of a gang investigator within the Criminal Investigation Division so that investigative efforts can be coordinated with the G.R.I.P. Unit to achieve maximum enforcement. • Designation of the G.R.I.P. Coordinator as one of the police department's representatives to area task forces to facilitate interagency cooperation in information sharing and joint investigations. • Focus on narcotics use within the gang subculture. Interdiction stops and search warrants based on information obtained through surveillances, intelligence gathering and the use of confidential informants. • Identification and concentration on the activities of gang leaders and hardcore members. Investigation geared toward maximum charge potential and the breakup of the gang. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT • Develop and implement a community services program for gang offenders adjudicated through the municipal court. • Maintain a close working relationship with the juvenile probation department to increase awareness of gang affiliation, encourage support of Project G.R.LP and facilitate its evaluation. • Maintain a close working relationship with the County Attorney's office and the District Attorneys office to increase awareness of gang affiliation, encourage aggressive prosecution, and facilitate the evaluation of Project G.R.I.P. • Develop and implement victim referral program whereby cases are referred to the County Crisis Center so that victims of violent gang crime will be contacted and receive counseling and support. • Develop and implement a referral program for the families of gang offenders and youth at risk. • Assist area law enforcement agencies in assessment potential gang problems and with gang related investigations. EDUCATION • Emphasis is placed on heightening public awareness and encouraging community participation. • Further development of public presentation including visual aids and written handouts which encourages specific areas of community involvement that will help reduce gang crime. • Develop training for police and other law enforcement personnel with curriculum geared toward officer recognition of gang traits and characteristics. • Develop referral program whereby teachers and school counselors who identify at risk youth can get those youths involved in pro - social activities, alternative education programs, and job training programs. • Development of a curriculum to be used within the public schools to support and reinforce the information teamed in D.A.R.E. and Life Skills classes. Alternating with these programs to continually provide youth with information to deal with peer pressure. lExecutive Summary, Youth Gangs: Problem and Response, 1990 report by the National Youth Gang Suppression and Intervention Research and Development Program.

This project targets: (check all that apply) ® Violent Crime ® Gang - related Crime © Drug- related Crime ❑ Victims of Crime 1. Problem Statement (What problem will this project impact ?) Implementation of the Gang Response and Intervention Project ( G.R.I.P) would directly impact the gang subculture by focusing on narcotics use and gang related violence. Through surveillances, intelligence gathering, and the use of confidential informants, identification and concentration on the activities of gang leaders and hardcore members will ensure the eventual dissolvement of the gang and as well as gear the investigation toward a maximum charge potential. By educating the community and schools to recognize traits and characteristics of gang activity, the G.R.I.P. Coordinator becomes a vehicle whereby youth at • risk can be identified and placed into pro - social activities, altemative education programs, and job training programs. 2. Historical Data (What statistical data is available to demonstrate the problem stated in #1 ?) During the first quarter of this fiscal year, 32% of all Youth Services Division cases have been gang • related. We have also investigated 32 cases involving 15 adults with 10 arrests. Project G.R.I.P, which is in its first year of funding through a CAPCO grant, has been instrumental in educating the community to recognize characteristics of gang activity. Last fiscal year, 1990 -1991, Youth Services Division of the Round Rock Police Department investigated 306 gang related cases. This represented 31 % of the total division case load. These cases involved, but were not limited to, substance violations, aggravated assaults, weapons charges, burglaries, and criminal mischiefs. The investigations into these cases resulted in 214 juveniles being taken into custody with 83 of those being detained. The other 131 juveniles were released to a parent or guardian. There were 261 cases referred based on these investigations. To date, 351 gang affiliated individuals have been identified as living and/or being criminally active in Round Rock. 3. Proposed Project Activities (What activities will be conducted to address the stated problem ?) Project G.R.I.P. is a three - pronged approach to addressing the social problems caused by the gang subculture. It involves the police, the community, and education by directing efforts to find the root causes for gang involvement as well as pro- active law enforcement. By educating law enforcement officers, teachers and parents of our community can take pro- active measures in reducing gang crime rather than reacting to the social ills caused by gangs. Public presentations including visual aids and information booklets will be used in educating the community. Project G.R.I.P. will develop a team of officers from all divisions of the department to improve the flow of information and reinforce the "Zero Tolerance" enforcement concept. This project will also focus on inter- agency cooperation to enhance the prosection of gang offenders. Submit this page at the time of application and attach a copy to both Progress Reports (CJD -13). This information will be used in the project evaluation.
