An educational effort by the Leavenworth Police Department and the concerned citizens of the Leavenworth area. There are no gangs in Leavenworth. Gangs consist only of underprivileged kids. Gang members are male minorities. All gang members are juveniles.
Gangs are for social activities.
My children can never be exposed to or be a gang member. A gang is three or more people who bond together for criminal or anti-social activity. Like other cities, our youths were influenced by non-residents, and believed joining a gang would be fun and exciting. Some of today's popular music and movies glorify gang activity. Gang members have been seen in the local high school, middle schools and even at the elementary schools getting our youths interested in what they are doing.
