Excerpt: Overview: Gangs pose a serious threat to public safety in many communities throughout New Mexico
and the factors that contribute to gang activity in our state are extensive and complex. While jurisdictional
boundaries in law enforcement remain unchanged, criminal gangs have become increasingly more migratory
and diverse in their crimes. Not only do we have limited resources to effectively address the issues facing gang
prevention/intervention, enforcement and re-entry efforts, but we lack a coordinated, comprehensive
approach amongst these areas. Stakeholders from each of these areas acknowledge that we share a common
goal but have different objectives; differences that can sometimes affect our ability to collaboratively work
together.
