STG stands for which term?

• A. Security Threat Group
• B. Street Gang
• C. Special Tactics Group
• D. Security Test Group

Answer: (A)

In corrections terminology, STG refers to Security Threat Group—the formal label used for organized inmate groups that pose security risks, such as coercion, violence, or illicit activity inside the facility. Recognizing an STG helps staff focus intelligence efforts, monitor group activity, and apply appropriate control measures to keep staff and inmates safe. The other options aren’t the standard term in this context: a Street Gang is a general outside reference, Special Tactics Group would denote a tactical unit rather than this acronym, and Security Test Group isn’t a recognized term used by corrections agencies.
