GANG INFORMATION CENTER
Gang members will use different types of hand signs to identify which gang he or she is
affiliated with.  The hand signs will represent letters, numbers, rabbits, crowns, pitch
forks, etc... .  

Gang members will also use hand signs to issue challenges to rival gang members.  
This can be done by representing their particular hand sign to the rival member, or by
using the rival gang members hand sign, but flashing it upside down, which is a
disrespectful gesture to the rival member.
 

Below are examples of some of the many types of hand signs different gangs use.
