> tattoos holy shit op is a fucking dweeb multiple methods to find a few members initially - catch them doing something - profile the type of person who gets recruited and where they get recruited, and put agents who match the profile into the right scenarios to get recruited - bounties/tips then you map it out. you do physical surveillance, wiretaps, and you profile communications in case people leak who they are. you get informations. you access records, especially electronic ones. you figure out who is most well-integrated and you seize him and mine him for info on other parts of the network, and then keep doing this until you mapped out the whole damn thing. it's not hard to map out criminal organizations. the only hard part is proving 99% that you are arresting the right people. if you're willing to drop that to like 80% - 90% then you can easily arrest the entire network no problem, which is what el salvador has done because they were in fucking survival mode due to gangs
