The Department of Criminal Justice Services is pleased to announce Biker 101: Outlaw Motorcycle Gang training. Unlike many of the street gangs we may see in our neighborhoods, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) are often sophisticated operations with deeply rooted ties to organized crime. With strict codes, bylaws, and even constitutions, OMGs demand an investigative, enforcement knowledge, and skill set very different than those applied to our local street gang problems. This session will provide attendees with origins and intelligence of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs along with a basic knowledge of how to identify members of Virginia OMGs.
Biker 101: Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs Training is intended for sworn Virginia law enforcement only. Agency identification will be required.
· Origin and history of the outlaw motorcycle gangs
· OMGs national trends
· OMGs intelligence needs and Virginia updates
· Officer safety
