Abstract

Faced with a continuous increase in violent activity by gang members in and near his hospital, the author sought information from other hospitals on their procedural gang policies, but found there were none. Working with a proactive gang unit of his city's police department, he has developed a generic policy that other hospitals with similar problems can adapt.
