Gang Violence Talk

by Officer Mary Hulse

Fairfax County Police Department

On September 22, 2005, our Council had they great honor of hosting a presentation by Officer Mary Hulse, Crime Prevention Officer, of the Fairfax County Police Department.  Officer Hulse presented an hour-long briefing on gangs, including definitions, histories, symbols and markings, and ways of identifying each.  Also included in her presentation was what to do should you see either gang members or evidence of their presence (graffiti, etc.).  The presentation is available for download below, in the form of a 1.5 MB Adobe file (.pdf).

After her presentation, Officer Hulse entertained a series of questions from the audience.  Officer Hulse expertly answered each question asked, displaying the extent of her knowledge of gangs in the area.

Of note is that on her way to our Council chambers, Officer Hulse saw who she suspected were two gang members driving down School Street in Clifton!  The problem is at our front door, Gentlemen.  Let us be prepared.

What should you do if you see suspected gang members or gang-related graffiti?
