The grantee has no right or entitlement to reimbursement with grant funds.

Notwithstanding the imposition of corrective actions, financial hold, and/or sanctions, the grantee remains responsible for complying with these terms and conditions. Corrective action plans, financial hold and/or sanctions do not excuse or operate as a waiver of prior failure to comply with the grant agreement.The failure of OOG to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms or conditions herein,irrespective of the length of time of such failure,shall not be a waiver of OOG's right to demand strict compliance in the future. No consent or waiver,express or implied,to or of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation under this grant agreement shall constitute a consent or waiver to or of any breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligation of this grant agreement.

The North Texas Anti-Gang Center (TAG) is a physical environment funded by the Texas Office of the Governor (OOG) Homeland Security Grants Division (HSGD) and established to support strategic law enforcement partnership within the North Texas region to combat gang violence and organized crime associated to these criminal enterprises. This Resolution 2023-021 Addendum Page 52 of 79 multidisciplinary approach of the TAG concentrates efforts through the coordination of gang prevention, intervention and suppression activities. The combined law enforcement resources and strategies are designed to effectively decrease the threat created by gang activities with the ultimate goal to disrupt the command and control of these criminal organizations, which affect public safety in our communities. The goal remains to continue building and expanding the TAG partnership with the 13 participating agencies to effectively share valuable resources such as intelligence sharing, personnel, and equipment. Further, the TAG is exploring areas in which the TAG partners with local agencies related to gang prevention measures to slow the growing problem, as well as participate in intervention measures to stem the activities of current gang members. During the FY2023 grant period, the TAG will be relocating. The design of the new location is anticipated to improve efficiencies and enhance collaborations in which partner agencies hold an established presence. The TAG building allows for de-confliction and bolsters open communication regarding intelligence sharing, joint and multi-agency law enforcement operations, and law enforcement training sessions and conferences. The TAG anticipates implementing the StopNorthTexasGangs.org website, which allows the public to submit anonymous tips on wanted gang fugitives and tips on gang activities in the TAG AOR. The TAG includes Region 1 for the Texas Department of Public Safety which is located within the northeast portion of Texas. Region 1 contains five MSAs, including Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, and Sherman- Denison. According to censusreporter.org, in 2019, the Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW)/Arlington metroplex's combined population was approximately 7.6 million individuals and covers approximately 8,674 square miles, which forms the largest combined MSA population region in the state. [NOTE: Region 1 of which the TAG is located and covers contains 42 counties.] According to the 2016 Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDC3) statistics, among all gang members entering into TDC3, approximately 25 percent came from counties located in Region 1. In 2014, 90% of gang members entering TDC3 originated from the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA. The TAG began operations on May 1, 2016 and is open to law enforcement agencies with responsibilities to oversee, enforce, and/or prosecute gangs and gang related activity. Four anchor agencies relocated their gang units to the TAG. The ATF relocated an investigative violent crime group and their Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC); Texas DPS relocated their gang units formerly housed in Garland, Texas and Hurst, Texas; the FBI relocated its Safe Street Taskforce; and HSI relocated its gang unit to the TAG. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office has assigned a full-time Border Prosecution Unit attorney at the TAG. Through the partnerships with these agencies, personnel from the following agencies are also represented in some form at the TAG— Dallas Police Department (PD), Fort Worth PD, Irving PD, Arlington PD, Mesquite PD, ICE Enforcement Removal Operations, Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the TDC3-OIG. Through the collaborative and cooperative efforts of these agencies, the TAG's purpose is to enhance the investigative efforts of law enforcement in the North Texas area combating gangs and violent crime committed by gangs. The TAG and the Texoma HIDTA share a state-of-the-art training center, which provides training to agencies across the North Texas area. Such training includes, but is not limited to, anti-gang enforcement tactics ranging from street stop encounters by law enforcement with violent gang members to long-term investigations of complex criminal investigations of organized/violent gang organizations. Problem Statement : Provide a detailed account of the issues, threats or hazards that your project will target. For federal Homeland Security Grants, include specific references to the regional or state Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA), as applicable. Due to various factors, the region surrounding the DFW metroplex is a primary hub for gangs and organizations engaged in serious and violent criminal activities, including human, drug, and gun trafficking, assaults, and homicides. The presence of transnational gangs such as MS-13 and 18th Street have increased their footprint here as has the expected Resolution 2023-021 Addendum Page 53 of 79 increase in violence related to such groups relocating to the DFW area from other parts of Texas. Multiple law enforcement agencies have responsibilities for investigating and prosecuting related criminal activities and organizations. Enhanced cooperation and participation among these agencies in addressing these threats furthers the ability of these agencies to fulfill its mission, which enhances public safety. According to the Texas DPS Threat Assessment, there are an estimated 100,000 gang members and 400 gangs located throughout the DFW metroplex. Approximately 52% of tier level gang members are serving sentences for violent crimes. The most significant gangs in our area include, "Bloods (multiple sets), Crips (multiple sets), Tango Blast (D/FW), Surehos (multiple sets), Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), and Aryan Circle." Despite law enforcement's operational and leadership disruption of ABT and Aryan Circle, each maintain a heavy presence in the DFW metroplex and surrounding rural areas." The report states that transnational gangs such as MS-13 and 18th Street are present and active in Dallas, Denton, and Tarrant counties. Gangs are also heavily involved in narcotics trafficking and often work with each other, regardless of race or ideology, in order to profit from these activities. Cartels continue to use gangs to move drugs, people, and weapons across the southern border of the United States, thereby contributing to the nations on-going opioid epidemic. Hybrid gangs continue to transform into an organized criminal enterprise, which negatively influence the safety of citizens living in the DFW metroplex. The majority of cases prosecuted by the Dallas County DA involve shootings, robberies, and narcotics trafficking committed by hybrid gangs. There has been an increase in violent activity by gangs such as "Trill Fam" and "Trench Gang." The predominant street gang within Arlington encompasses African-Americans ranging from 13 to 22 years of age who make up a loose conglomerate of gangs belonging to local subsets of the Crips and Bloods. Hybrid gangs have "no code" when it comes to violent crime and are commonly associated with drive-by shootings, aggravated thefts, and robberies; the latter two being the genesis for the acquisition of firearms utilized in their operations. Gang presence and activity within Fort Worth is robust and active. Local street gangs and hybrids have perpetuated violence in the city to a new level. Hybrid gangs have been at the center surge of opportunistic violent robberies and shootings. Individuals are typically in their late teens to early twenties and primarily African-American. Their youth and ever-evolving nature have spawned hundreds of active cliques within the group. Previous reports indicated the Tango Blast (D/FW sets) maintain the largest overall gang membership in the area; once released from incarceration, many members tend to drop their affiliation in favor of the smaller street gang which they were previously aligned. Other significant gangs are the Bandiclos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, MS-13, Surehos, various sets of Crips and Bloods, and Aryan Circle. Other less active gangs in the area include the Texas Syndicate, 18th Street, and Gangster Disciples. The largest and most active street gangs in Region 1 include Crips (all sets), Surehos (all sets), Bloods (all sets), and Latin Kings. The largest and most active prison gangs are the D/FW cliques of Tango Blast, Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), and Aryan Circle. The ABT and Aryan Circle maintain a strong presence east of Dallas, while the Latin Kings are active in north Fort Worth and Denton. Agencies in the region report a significant presence of Gangster Disciples, Nortehos, 18th Street, MS-13, and Texas Syndicate. The Texas DPS assessments summarized the North Texas gang threat as follows: "The gang threat in Texas will remain high during the coming year. Gangs working directly with the Mexican cartels will continue to represent a particular threat to the state. The threat posed by individual gangs will change over time. Although changes in gang leadership and the impact of law enforcement action will have an effect on a gang's ability to operate effectively, many of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 gangs will continue to constitute significant threats to Texas due to their large membership numbers, relationships with cartels, high levels of transnational criminal activity, and other factors. Existing Capability Levels : Describe the existing capability levels, including resources that are currently in place to support this project prior to the use of grant funds. Resolution 2023-021 Addendum Page 54 of 79 The existing capabilities of the TAG consist of the Participant Agencies which include: the FBI, DEA, ATF, HSI, Texas DPS, Dallas PD, Arlington PD, Fort Worth PD, Irving PD, North Richland Hills PD, Dallas County DA's Office, Tarrant County DA's Office, and Texas Alcohol and Beverage Control. Current capabilities include individual agencies' IT network systems, law enforcement and analytic/support personnel and equipment, state and federal prosecutors, fiscal operational support, and electronic surveillance equipment and capabilities. Additionally, an analyst from the Office of the Attorney General, Human Trafficking and Organized Crime Unit, sits at the TAG. Capability Gaps: Describe the capability gaps which will be addressed by the project. For federal Homeland Security Grants, include specific references to the regional or statewide State Preparedness Report (SPR). The overall goal is to enhance coordinated law enforcement activity targeted at gangs and other criminal organizations operating in or affecting the region by co-locating representatives from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in a "dedicated facility" (TAG). While this remains true today, a new approach for the TAG needs to be undertaken. Currently, the agencies seated in the TAG are three federal agencies and one state agency. There is no local presence other than as TFO's assigned to the federal agencies. Gangs are mainly a local law enforcement problem. While it is true there are international gangs operating within the state, the overwhelming majority of gang activity occurs at the local level affecting local communities. This TAG is unique among all other TAG due to the sheer size of area covered. As stated earlier, the DFW metroplex's combined population was approximately 7.6 million individuals and covered approximately 8,674 square miles, which forms the largest combined population region in the state. Additionally, there are over approximately 200 law enforcement agencies in this area. The large majority of agencies that could benefit from participation in the TAG cannot travel daily to the TAG for office space and co-location only to return to their communities to conduct gang and violent crime investigations. Logistically, this does not make sense. The geographic makeup of the DFW metroplex does not allow itself to a "one-size fits all" TAG. Although gangs are operating throughout the entire DFW metroplex, the gang problem is unique to its own area and is not the same throughout the area, i.e. Dallas' gang problem is not the same as Ft. Worth's gang problem. The most effective use of time and resources is to maintain the TAG and initiate two "sub-station" TAGS on the east side of the DFW metroplex and one on the west side. Currently, the Ft. Worth PD has agreed to provide rent-free space to house a "substation" TAG on the west side of the DFW metroplex. Currently, there is space for an additional 30 officers, not including Ft. Worth PD personnel currently there, to conduct gang and violent crime related investigations. These officers will come from departments that have never participated in the TAG due to logistical issues. This has the capability to add approximately 60 officers participating in the TAG as a whole. By being housed in an area near to the location(s) they will be conducting investigations in, the TAG will be more effective and have a larger reach and impact with these presently underserved communities. Additionally, the Ft. Worth PD was recently certified as a Fusion Center, which sits in the same building as the "sub-station" TAG. This will allow the TAG to leverage their intelligence capabilities to improve the quality of investigations. As the intelligence component of the TAG develops, it will enhance existing intelligence efforts in the North Texas Region as well as, tie in with the currently operational TAGS and future ones as they become operational. By providing this new physical environment (sub-station) concept equipped with advanced technology, the TAG enables the co-location law enforcement agencies to more efficiently and effectively cooperate, coordinate and collaborate on intelligence, investigatory, and operational activities related to this shared threat in an effort to reduce gang related crime and violence specifically in the areas they serve. The TAG reaches out to agencies across the North Texas areas to support multi-agency collaborative approaches to gang/violent crime by bringing the expertise of agencies participating within Resolution 2023-021 Addendum Page 55 of 79 the TAG and provides resources available through the TAG, such as overtime, training, equipment, and intelligence sharing platforms accessible to all agencies with an interest/need. Presently, we have added a HSI gang squad (seven special agents and one supervisor) and four ATF agents to this location. Impact Statement : Describe the project goals/objectives and how this project will maintain capabilities or reduce capability gaps. The goal for this project remains to provide a "centralized point" of coordination for law enforcement operations and intelligence gathering to curb gang activity and violence via multi-agency partnerships with key federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The TAG allows for cleconfliction of investigations by centralizing planned events and helps prevent the comprising of investigations by reducing conflicting events and targets. By partnering with regional law enforcement agencies, the TAG will promote the development of intelligence and tactics to better combat violent criminal gangs in and around the North Texas area. Having multiple agencies working together ensures the coordination of efforts to focus on gang activities that threaten the safety of our neighborhoods. The TAG project helps provide relief to high crime areas affected by gang violence by disrupting gang-related crime. The effectiveness of the TAG project is based on achieving progress towards the identified project-specific measures. The measurable goals (outputs and outcomes) include: number of gang contacts, number of gang members arrested for misdemeanors and felonies, number of gangs targeted/investigated, number of weapons seized, number of participating agencies, drug and currency seizures for each of the participating agencies, number of multi-agency operations, number of gangs disrupted, and number of TAG-hosted training sessions. The baseline information for the aforementioned measures and goals are determined by gathering statistical data from TAG participating agencies. All data required for statistical and evaluative purposes of the project is coordinated and collected by the TAG Administrator and maintained on an on-site TAG server. Collected data and subsequent analysis and assessments will be made available to the Homeland Security Grants Division and all TAG partnering agencies. Data and analysis will also serve as a viable tool for local law enforcement that will allow efforts to be tailored to the specific needs of the community according to trends. Homeland Security Priority Actions: Identify the Texas Homeland Security Priority Action most closely aligned with this project. Each Priority Action is linked with an Objective from the Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan (HSSP). List the Priority Action by number and text (e.g. 1.2.3 Expand and enhance the network of human sources that can provide detailed and relevant information on known or suspected terrorist and criminal enterprises.) 1.2.2 Establish and enhance multi-agency anti-gang centers in regions throughout the state to integrate and enhance the efforts of law enforcement agencies to identify, deter, disrupt, and dismantle criminal organizations. Target Group : Identify the target group and population expected to benefit from this project. The DFW metroplex and outlying jurisdictions within the TAG AOR. Long-Term Approach: Describe how the applicant agency will maintain the capabilities supported by this project without additional federal or state funds. If sustainment is dependent upon federal or state grants, describe the ongoing need for future grants, as applicable. The TAG continues working to develop several "smart policing" strategies that are focused on offender based and/or location-based intelligence gathering and enforcement methodologies. TAG agencies are developing intelligence related to gang violence and neeomuonumca-0u1 Addendum Page ssorre ShDDUDgS by [DDrdiD8UDg intelligence developed through crime gun 8D8|ySiS throughout the greater North T2x8S/DFVV 8n28S and state wide. Additionally, the TAG strategically targets violent gang offenders engaged in serial ShDDUDg activity during the CDUrSe of committing violent crime. This is developing strategy to aid TAG partner agencies in current investigations and initiate new investigations across the area. In addition, the usage of Smart Force and re-instituting the "Stop North Texas Gangs" web 8pp|iC8tiDDS will enhance and expand UpDD established intelligence sharing capabilities as it pertains to |8vv enforcement's efforts against violent gangs and violent crime.
