Police units around the country will be taking a proactive approach to the Government's new gang patch ban.
Patches and insignia will be banned in public places from Thursday next week.
Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham says Police have been speaking with gang leaders, and have made it clear that anyone breaching the law can expect a response.
He told Mike Hosking that dedicated units will respond to reports of law-breaking, gather intelligence, and work with other branches of Police.
He says they'll also take opportunities to reduce the ability of gangs to operate, and cause fear and intimidation.
