Safe Streets Gang Task Force

The FBI Safe Streets Gang Task Force is a joint federal, state and local task force targeting gangs, gang crime, and associated violent crime, including; racketeering, drug conspiracy, and firearms violations. The FBI’s Safe Streets and Gang Unit currently administers 160 Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Forces nationwide.

## History

In January 1992, the FBI announced the Safe Streets Violent Crime Initiative, designed to allow each field office to address violent street gangs and drug-related violence through the establishment of FBI sponsored, long-term, proactive task forces focusing on violent gangs, crime of violence, and the apprehension of violent fugitives. The Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Force became the vehicle through which all of the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies joined together to address the violent crime plaguing their communities. The FBI's Safe Streets and Gang Unit administers 160 Violent Gang Safe Streets Task Forces nationwide, staffed by nearly 850 FBI agents, more than 1,500 state and local law enforcement personnel, and nearly 100 other federal law enforcement agents.
