MGIA 2023 National Gang Conference

Excellent course, would recommend other to other young Officer's. Great for team bonding and camaraderie as well.

It's a great way to learn more about what is the gangs, and the speakers explain very good the information given.

Good Conference

Lot of important information and learned a lot of new things to be aware of when working with gangs in your community.

Great networking opportunity with some interesting topics discussed.

I truly enjoyed the conference and all the sessions/speakers. I learned alot! I also enjoyed the area and being able to see Notre Dame.

The MGIA conference was the best conference I have attended for Law Enforcement. The networking and talking to everyone was the best part.

The presentation on runes and the presentation on prison gangs were both very informative.

Thank you to all that attending the MGIA conference in South Bend! We look forward to see all in Wisconsin in 2024!!

This is very cop based. I feel as if everyone told story and there wasn't any "training". I'm not sure how to fix this, just my view.

I thought the training was exceptional, the instructors were knowledgeable, and the subject matter relevant to the challenges faced by today’s law enforcement. I found the networking extremely beneficial and look forward to collaborating in the future.

The conference was a good introduction to many different aspects of gang investigations.

MGIA 2023-3 STARS

Course is a great introduction for new law enforcement officers and to update information for veteran officers.
Course helps officers networks with each other through out the Midwest but helps inform officers what is going on through out the United States.

Unfortunately I was disappointed with some of the training topics. For being a gang conference we hoped all the topics would be more focused on gangs and gang investigations. Venue was great along with networking with LEOS from surrounding jurisdictions.

The conference was very informational and well developed.

Great time.

this training was very informative.

These conferences always lead to good networking and valuable information that can be used in the field.

This course was extremely informative and very open for discussions between multiple agencies. I learned a lot along while going over information I previously knew. I highly recommend any agency that deals with gang related issues attend this conference.

The accommodations were nice, but the surrounding area does not have a lot to offer. The classes were very specific to the certain department and cases the speaker worked. Would of liked it be to a little more generalized so more people could gain knowledge.

Indiana put on a great conference with a variety of topics.

MGIA was an enjoyable Conference. There were courses that were informative, others used strictly for motivation, and some that did not directly pertain to your field. Additionally, this conference is a great opportunity to network with other L.E officers throughout the Midwest, and also provides a great opportunity to see new tech and gear available through the vendors.

2023 MGIA Conference was a great training opportunity to attend. This was my first large scale gang awareness training. I feel that the information that was presented was up to date and useful. I Definitely have several topics to bring back to our department and share.

The conference is a great way to learn more about gang activity, along with being able to network and make connections.
