Gang Awareness and Intervention Network

    The Gang Awareness and Intervention Network's mission is to educate groups and individuals on the proper method of dealing with gangs and gang related destructive behavior. Years of experience has taught us that we can not arrest our way out of this gang crisis. Years have been spent arresting narcotic abusers and the drug problem still flourishes. Years have been spent arresting prostitutes and the prostitution problem is also rampant. It has not worked with these problems. Arresting alone will not work with gangs, without addressing the social ills which are attached.The mission of G.A.I.N. is simply to help save lives and make people better.

 Gain Theme

I have many goals, and many dreams,

 many  opportunities by any means

It doesn’t take long to fall behind

Keep on point stay focused and use your mind

Life is far from a movie and there is no rewind

How can you be a leader if you’re following some one else?

You can’t go wrong

if you are true to yourself

Remember a individual is one and not a few

You can’t go wrong

if you just be you

There’s a million ways to get rich easy

and there’s a million crimes

There’s over a million people

doing a million years in time

Ask yourself what it is that you really want to do

Be a leader or be a follower

and make it a million and  two
