Asian Gangs

The Boston and New York Police Departments noticed a troubling trend beginning back in 1978 with more Asian gangs committing murders, drive-by shootings, and other gang-related street crime.

Major cities in the United States and Canada began meeting to talk about the escalating criminal activities. IOACIS was formed, and the International Conference on Transnational Organized Crime and Terrorism was born. We are always available to help any public safety agency with guidance, training, education, and networking. Networking and nteragency cooperation are the key to successful investigations.
