What is the State of Florida doing about gangs in Florida?
In 2008, the Office of the Attorney General and its division of Statewide Prosecution worked closely with the Florida Legislature to significantly strengthen the state’s anti-gang laws, giving prosecutors better tools to fight criminal gangs. State and local law enforcement agencies constantly work to protect public safety through gang suppression and enforcement tactics. In 2007, the Office of the Attorney General, under Bill McCollum, initiated a collaborative effort to develop a statewide strategy to reduce criminal gang-related activities in Florida.
