Nino Durden

Gino Floyd “Nino” Durden (May 5, 1963-) is a former American police officer within the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (CRASH) unit. He is from Los Angeles, California, and of Mexican descent. He was also a good friend of Rafael Perez and David Mack, and was arrested along with them in the Rampart police scandal. Just like them, he severely abused his powers. Even though he worked against the African-American street gang called the Crips, he allied himself with the opposing African-American street gang known as the Bloods. Just like officers Perez and Mack, he also allied himself with the Italian-American Mafia, Russian Mafia, and a Mexican drug cartel called the Los Zetas.
