After Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs and Mayor Mike Bell refused to make the city’s gang map public last year, The Blade decided in early 2013 to create its own gang BLADE GANG MAP map. Using information from interviews with current and former gang members in Toledo and police sources, the newspaper in April published a detailed map of the city listing more than 40 known gangs, and the territories they operate in, compared with the 18 gangs listed on the city police department’s gang map.
