TESTIMONY OF LT. EDWARD L. BUCKNEY The CHAIRMAN. Very well. You may be seated. Lieutenant BUCKNEY. I am Lt. Edward L. Buckney. I am the commanding officer of the gang intelligence unit of the intelligence division of the Chicago Police Department. The CHAIRMAN. You are chief of the gang intelligence unit? Lieutenant BUCKNEY. I have been a member of the Chicago Police Department for 14 years, sir. The CHAIRMAN. How long have you held the position you now hold? Lieutenant BUCKNEY. I have held the position as commanding officer since the day the unit was created on March 22, 1967. (2473) The CHAIRMAN. What are the functions and duties of your unit? Lieutenant BUCKNEY. Mr. Chairman, if I may, I would like to read to you briefly from portions of the general order which was put out by the Chicago Police Department creating the unit. The CHAIRMAN. You may read it. Lieutenant BUCKNEY. The order states that: The purpose of the order is to establish a gang intelligence unit within the Chicago Police Department for the purpose of eliminating the antisocial and criminal activities of groups of minors and young adults in the various communities within the city. The responsibilities are as follows: The gang intelligence unit will, (a), identify the forces which encourage antisocial and criminal tendencies in groups of young people and identify the organizations and individuals which influence or lead such groups to engage in such behavior. (b) The Gang Intelligence Unit will investigate the organizations and individuals involved in the leadership or direction of such groups and determine the interrelationships and associations between individuals both within the groups and among the various groups for the purpose of determining what sanctions might be effective against such organizations and individuals, providing assist. ance to the courts in dealing with the members of such groups and provide background information to other units within the department which have responsibility for the investigation of individual cases of criminal activity by members of such groups. The Gang Intelligence Unit will infiltrate such groups for the purpose of determining what future anti-social and criminal activity is contemplated. The Gang Intelligence Unit will develop cases of criminal conspiracy against those individuals, both minor and adult, whose leadership and influence has resulted in such criminal activity. The Gang Intelligence Unit will develop individual cases against such members of such groups who are engaged in regular and continuous patterns of criminal activities. Other individual cases of criminal activity by members of such groups will remain the responsibility of the applicable detective unit of assignment. The Gang Intelligence Unit will develop information which will form the basis for recommendations for legislative, for administrative changes in the administration of criminal justice through continuing analysis of the final disposition of cases involving members of such groups and the period of institutional custody of those convicted.
