The Street Crimes Unit supports the Mission Statement and values of the City of Anderson through various strategies of "Gang Interdiction" and "Intelligence Lead Policing" which include investigative techniques, proactive strategies, intelligence gathering, and arrests.
The unit was formed in September of 2005 for the purpose of removing the threat of gangs, guns, and drugs from the streets of the city of Anderson. The unit is staffed by one Sgt. and three officers personally chosen by the command staff of the Department. The unit operates under command of the Special Operations Division.
Since the unit's inception, the unit has been successful in reducing violent crime and removing the threat that gangs and extremists pose to the community through targeting various crime locations and criminals. The Unit works closely with all divisions of the Anderson Police Department, as well as, in concert with other local, state, and federal agencies.
