NARCOTICS HOTLINE – 800-662-BUST (2878)
Gang and Narcotics Division
The deployment of the Los Santos Police Department (LSPD) Gang and Narcotics Division (GND) is a revolutionary change in law enforcement strategy. The GND is one component of the LSPD Gang Initiatives 2009 “total solution” to combat the gang and drug problem in the City of Los Santos. The consolidation of the Gang Operations Support Division and Narcotics Division into GND fosters greater efficiency and facilitates the rapid deployment of resources to identified crime problems.
Since there is a nexus of guns, gangs, narcotics, and crime, the increased cooperation between experienced gang and narcotics investigators will result in more effective investigations, a quantifiable increase in arrests and a reduction in the crime rate. Joint operations between narcotics and gang detectives, in cooperation with other City entities and resources, will also be developed to abate chronic narcotic and gang locations. The GND will be focused on disrupting violent gangs with allied law enforcement agencies and expand the highly successful High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Task Forces to reduce violent gang crime.
The mission of Gang and Narcotics Division is to disrupt violent street gangs and the means by which they support their lifestyle, including the manufacture, transportation, sale and use of illicit drugs, and sales of firearms in the greater Los Santos area. Gang and Narcotics Division’s enforcement efforts also focus on street-level enforcement strategies to effect a reduction in Part I crimes, thereby resolving community problems and facilitating uniformed officer’s involvement.
Be safe!
