Security Threat Group

A Security Threat Group (STG) is a criminal enterprise, an organization of a continuing nature that engages repeatedly in acts of crime, and individually or collectively poses a safety or security threat within, as well as outside of, a correctional facility or probation office. Gang members do not recognize themselves as members of STGs. STG is a designation used by officers in correctional facilities to remove any glamour from being a member of these organizations and diffuse the power associated with being a “gang” member. Offenders idolize the lifestyle of a gang member and the term STG makes being a member less appealing.

identify themselves differently than other criminal gangs. Typically, OMG members will wear patches to identify their membership and gang affiliation. Members wear a “cut” or “colors,” which is a vest or jacket that bears their gang patch. These patches may include a “rocker panel” which refers to the member’s chapter. The patches may also refer to the member’s status in the gang. For instance, members may wear patches that say “president” or “sergeant at arms.” Some OMGs refer to themselves as “1 Percenters” (1%), referring to the 1% of motorcycle gangs who break the law. The type, color, or style of motorcycle may also indicate OMG affiliation.
