the only gang in there are the latin kings. however, there's apartment complexes that are a couple of miles away from each other with different gangs. and what they do is they tend to go to each other's complex and fight. these are the members, active members from the latin kings that are known to hang out in that area. we can determine if these players are there, how strong they really are in that area in the event that we might have to conduct an operation in there. we need to know the numbers in there for our safety. and all of this comes from the jail. this is the family here. yeah, they're going inside. >> let's talk to them.
