Title: Recognizing and Controlling Security Threat Groups
Headings: 

Content: Unfortunately, these security threat groups continue to thrive. Many prisons are beginning to experience an influx of new inmates. Some of these inmates are from other countries and entering our correctional systems. Some additional characteristics consist of them being extremely violent and having a military background. We know what security risks these are and must adapt to deal with them. Lastly, corrections as I mentioned previously, has a tremendous amount of gang-related information. There is a need to continue providing information and communicating effectively with other law enforcement agencies. Many doors with law enforcement agencies are open, yet some agencies continue to have closed doors. This is another challenge for corrections and I have no doubt there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stay safe, and I, as well as others, appreciate the job that all do.
