Situated in the Southeastern part of Montgomery County, Springfield is surrounded by the Townships of Abington, Cheltenham, Upper Dublin and Whitemarsh, as well as the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. According to the 2010 United States Decennial Census, Springfield Township maintains a population of 19,418 persons among 7,821 households. The majority of Springfield residents are employed in the City of Philadelphia or in neighboring suburban municipalities. The primary commercial areas are located along Bethlehem Pike in Erdenheim and Flourtown and smaller industrial pockets in Oreland and Wyndmoor. The majority of the community however is developed with single-family detached dwellings constructed during the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Springfield Township was incorporated as a First Class Township in 1901 and is further organized under the council-manager form of government. The council-manager form of government seeks to achieve the value of representation through the elected Board of Commissioners and the value of efficiency through the appointment of a professional municipal manager. The center of power in the council-manager plan is the elected Board of Commissioners, Springfield's governing body who, in turn, appoints a manager to administer the affairs of the government and supervise the service departments and agencies. Springfield Township provides a full range of municipal services including police protection, refuse and recycling collection, sewage conveyance, highway maintenance, recreational activities, programs and park areas, economic development initiatives, zoning and codes enforcement and building inspection.

The California Gang Investigator`s Association was founded in 1977 to foster better relationships and networking among the various investigative units working street gangs in Los Angeles County and throughout the state of California. Over the years the Association has grown to include members across the nation and in Australia and Canada. Membership is limited to all law enforcement officers including corrections, prosecutors, parole, and probation. The Association interacts with fellow Gang Investigator`s Associations across the country to assist in a coordinated approach to gang investigations, training, and to foster exchanges of information. The Association strives to better serve the needs of law enforcement by providing quality gang training that will assist members in the performance of their duties in a professional and ethical manner. It is the hope of the Association that through professional and pertinent training our membership will be better prepared to meet the challenges presented by street gangs. While the solution to the street gang problem remains elusive it will only be found after a thorough examination of all aspects of the phenomenon. The Association supports this examination and provides a forum for investigators to exchange ideas in order to provide a wide ranging base of knowledge to contribute toward a solution.
