Subject: Bloods
All members:
The Intelligence Division has verified that there are bona fide members of the “Bloods” gang living and operating in the District of Columbia. In the Third District there is information that there may be Bloods in the area of 7th and O Street, NW. Also, the Intelligence Division has stopped members of the Bloods in the Adams Morgan.
They often wear their colors (red) or sometimes orange. (Bandana’s or red Nationals Hats with the “DC” on the front which means Death to Crips are common.) There are both male and female members. In addition they often carry knives as one of their tactics is to stick someone.
Detective Cory Perkins with the Intelligence Division is heading the investigation. If anyone comes into contact with someone who they believe may be associated with the Bloods shall contact the Intelligence Division via the CIC. Furthermore, all contacts must be thoroughly documented. Clothing, tattoos, etc. should be noted.
In the past, the department has somewhat denied the existence of organized gangs but the information regarding the Bloods has been verified.
Sergeant: please read in roll call for the next 7 days. I will also put packets containing specific intelligence info in the roll call room.
George Kucik
A/Commander
