THE EXPERIENCE

Being a Gang Specialist is no longer a "Law Enforcement Only" speciality. The 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment estimated 33,000 gangs representing some 1.4 million “documented” gang members were reported by law enforcement agencies in the United States. Gangs can now be identified in all 50 states and D.C. with a national average of 48% of all violent crime being attributed to criminal street gangs with that percentage reaching as high as 90% in several cities nationwide.

​Anyone who may come in direct contact with this gang threat needs to specialize in that threat and proper training for the prevention and intervention pillars of a gang reduction strategy is not only vital; it is imperative that personnel in those professions do so for us to succeed. This is why we have gone against the norm and designed a law enforcement level training program for non-law enforcement professionals.

​This training does not look like a generic training typically delivered to civilians. You deserve the same professional level training and we are committed to providing a highly interactive and personalized learning experience never before available to you. But that wasn't enough; we then took it one step further and created this certification program so to provide you with the same level of standardized credentialed training to signify a tested level of knowledge. 

Online Experience with Instructor Guidance!

​To ensure we maintain the greatest student-to-instructor ratio, we limit the attendance in each certification program so we can provide you with real-time instructional guidance in an online environment and due to that, these spots fill up fast, reflecting the high demand and unique value of this program.

FINAL EXAM PROTOCOL

Exam Pass Guarantee: We do offer an exam pass guarantee which states if you take and complete the entire certification course and do not pass the final exam, you will get another single attempt on us.

Final Exam Details: The Exam is graded on a pass/fail system by obtaining a 90% or better is considered a passing grade. The exam is taken online at the convenience of your home or office. It is a closed book exam and is 50 questions with 5 bonus questions. The questions are in a true/false, multiple-choice & scenario-based format. You must pass the final exam with a 90% or better to receive your CBGS designation.

Recertification: ​Certification is good for 2-years and must be recertified.
