According to the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment report, gangs are responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most jurisdictions, and up to 90 percent in others. The Gang Intelligence Information Sharing project, managed by the IJIS Institute for the Bureau of Justice Assistance, took a standards-based approach to gang intelligence information sharing, helping to combat the proliferation of gangs and to support the gathering of criminal intelligence about gangs. Through this project, the IJIS Institute defined a problem statement, identified stakeholders, and identified and prioritized key data elements and information exchanges and created a Gang Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD) with Member company Trusted Federal Systems, Inc. to support gang information sharing between and across law enforcement and justice systems at all jurisdictional levels.
