Street Gangs have wreaked havoc on communities, in the work place, and in schools for decades. The resurgence of gang activity that is occurring in many areas across the country is concerning and needs to prompt us to quick action against its devastating effects. The feeling of power, the illusion of loyal friendships, and the unquenchable desire for retaliation make gang behavior self-perpetuating in nature and difficult to overcome when ignored and allowed to take root in any given environment. Inadequate knowledge and understanding about gangs enable gang members to exist openly due to the denial phase almost every community or school goes through when gangs first make their presence known. This denial of their existence, which further permeates the effects of their intimidating behavior, usually leads to a reactive approach to gangs and the death and devastation they have left behind. Trying to play ''catch up'' with gangs in your communities and schools is a very dangerous and life threatening approach and should be avoided at all costs.
Lion's Head Enterprises employs active duty law enforcement experts, all of which have worked gang units throughout the greater Los Angeles area for many years and are deemed by their respective agencies and the District Court as experts. We can provide gang awareness training covering such topics as identification of gangs, their graffiti, gang clothing styles and trends, gang hand signs, gang slang, gang writings, gang tattoos and warning signs indicating possible gang involvement. Before each class, our instructors do hours of research to determine what gangs are in your area, what gang graffiti is on your property, and what material is relavent to your specific training needs.
Lion's Head Enterprises can create the Gang Awareness & Recognition Training to meet your school or company's schedule and group size.
The training will be an introduction to gang awareness, recognition, and basic history. The session will include history of gangs, gang trademarks, colors, clothing, hand signs, graffiti, gang violence, gang mentality and indicators of gang activity in your community.
