Strategic goals and objectives of the NMGTF include networking, training, and the establishment of information sharing standards with regard to gangs and security threat group management.

The NMGTF has been nationally recognized in the criminal justice system for achieving uniqueness in gang intervention and management strategies. The integration and partnerships between corrections, law enforcement, military and education has resulted in obtaining successful state criminal indictments and Federal Racketeer Influence Corrupt Organization (RICO) prosecutions with multiple defendants. In addition the NMGTF Executive Board members and State Coordinators have provided valuable technical assistance in the development of state-wide gang/security threat group programs in numerous jurisdictions.
