The unit is made up of eight police officers and is supervised by Lt. Bill Hedgepath.
The mission of the unit is to suppress gang activity by interacting with gang members, track 
their locations, and enforce the laws as needed. The unit also reaches out to the community 
in order to educate parents about gangs, gang activity, and gang behaviors.
