Source: `Slides_for_Board_Meeting_September_30__2026.pdf`, 38 pages, released under open-records request R033095-110726. Slide N = PDF page N. Transcription only; nothing here is interpretation. Text in `[brackets]` is a transcriber's note. Percent and count values are copied exactly as printed (commas, trailing zeros, spacing of dashes). Where a table cell is empty on the slide it is shown empty.

Reading method: each page was read visually from the 600 dpi render (and crops of it), then checked against the PDF text layer and two Tesseract reads (the supplied OCR plus a second independent pass on the render).

## Slide 24: STG Population Stratification
- Title: "STG Population Stratification" / "(Accounts for more than 60% of Population)"
- Top right text: "All Blood Sects - 234 Offenders" ; "Gangster Disciples - 132 Offenders"
- 3D pie chart. Slice labels are "count, percent" only; names are in the legend (28 entries, in this order, spelling as printed): Denver Lane Blood; 93 Gangster Bloods; Bloods; Sex Money Murder; Rolling 20 Bloods; Piru; inglewood Bloods; Imperial South Bloods; G- Shyne; Damu Blood; 64 Brimm; 183 Gangster Bloods; Good Fellas; Crips; Hispanics; Hybrids; Gangster Disciples; Latin Kings; Vice Lords; Aryan extremist; Black Extremist; GhostFace; Aryan Brother Hood; Bounty Hunter; Lincoln Park Bloods; Black Gangster Diciples [sic]; 59 Brim; East Side gangsta Blood.
- All 28 printed slice labels, as "count, percent" (28 labels for 28 legend entries):

| Legend name (assigned by legend order clockwise from 12 o'clock and slice colour) | Label printed |
|---|---|
| Denver Lane Blood | 4, 1% |
| 93 Gangster Bloods | 41, 7% |
| Bloods | 44, 7% |
| Sex Money Murder | 40, 7% |
| Rolling 20 Bloods | 16, 3% |
| Piru | 29, 5% |
| inglewood Bloods | 6, 1% |
| Imperial South Bloods | 3, 0% |
| G- Shyne | 17, 3% |
| Damu Blood | 1, 0% |
| 64 Brimm | 3, 0% |
| 183 Gangster Bloods | 3, 0% |
| Good Fellas | 26, 4% |
| Crips | 62, 10% |
| Hispanics | 17, 3% |
| Hybrids | 90, 15% |
| Gangster Disciples | 132, 22% |
| Latin Kings | 5, 1% |
| Vice Lords | 1, 0% |
| Aryan extremist | 6, 1% |
| Black Extremist | 5, 1% |
| GhostFace | 28, 5% |
| Aryan Brother Hood | 14, 2% |
| Bounty Hunter | 8, 1% |
| Lincoln Park Bloods | 3, 0% |
| Black Gangster Diciples [sic] | 4, 1% |
| 59 Brim | 1, 0% |
| East Side gangsta Blood | 1, 0% |

[Transcriber's note on pairing: the slice labels carry no names. Gangster Disciples (132, 22%, magenta), Hybrids (90, 15%), Crips (62, 10%), Good Fellas (26, 4%), Sex Money Murder (40, 7%), GhostFace (28, 5%), Hispanics (17, 3%) and the other non-red slices pair with the legend by colour. The 15 red slices share one colour (Denver Lane Blood, 93 Gangster Bloods, Bloods, Rolling 20 Bloods, Piru, inglewood Bloods, Imperial South Bloods, G- Shyne, Damu Blood, 64 Brimm, 183 Gangster Bloods, Bounty Hunter, Lincoln Park Bloods, 59 Brim, East Side gangsta Blood), so for those the name-to-count pairing rests on legend order and slice position only. The two slices of 1 (59 Brim, East Side gangsta Blood) and the three of 3 among the small reds are interchangeable by count.]
