Sub-issues examined relate to overcoming resistance to having sworn officers teaching classes in a school, identifying goals agreeable to both police and the school system, developing community support for such a program, and funding the program. The literature search reveals that it has now become necessary for law enforcement to examine, and at times participate, in new and innovative methods to address the gang problem. The Nominal Group Technique group assembled for this study shows that there are many trends occurring in the society that supports the information from the literature search about the continuing growth of gang-related violence. The strategic management portion of the study used a panel of individuals to develop a list of alternative strategies for a fictional law enforcement agency confronted with the primary issue. The panel used the Modified Policy Delphi process to generate a list of eight alternative strategies. The strategies were rated according to the following criteria: cost of implementation, stakeholder support, feasibility, community support, political support, and goal oriented. The list was then reduced to three alternatives. After discussing the alternative strategies, the group selected the strategy that would combine the proposed gang intervention program with the current D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. An implementation plan was developed. 25 figures, 11 references, and a 17-item bibliography
