This file contains the 2005 and 2009 National Gang Threat Assessments, which describe law enforcement views of criminal gang activity across the United States. The FBI contributed to the 2005 assessment by coding and analyzing survey responses, integrating intelligence, and producing the report; the 2009 assessment was prepared through the National Gang Intelligence Center with the National Drug Intelligence Center. The records discuss gang migration, drug trafficking, organized-crime connections, technology use, prison gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs, Indian Country, and regional trends. The 2005 report is based largely on surveys of gang investigators, while the 2009 report cites federal, state, and local law enforcement information and 2008 National Drug Threat Survey data.
