Lamar Associates’ Director of Juvenile Justice Services Delivers Street Gangs Training to the Flandreau Indian School

Raymond Perales just returned from his visit at the Flandreau Indian School in South Dakota. Approximately ninety Flandreau Indian School teachers and staff attended the one-day training on Street Gangs. The training covered such topics as: Youth Gang Trends, Gang Behavior and Tactics, Native Gangs, and Graffiti, as well as provided proactive approaches in developing action-plans revolving around gangs in communities. Each participant received a Gangs Toolkit and two resource CDs to further learn about the history and behavior of street gangs, as well as provide additional resources for combating them.
