Youth Gang Strategy: Our approach

Our Youth Gang Strategy is based around four key pillars that will direct how we will work within our organisation and with our partners and the community over the next three years.

Pillars for action

  • Community

    Utilising Neighbourhood Policing to build relationships within the community to better understand local nuances and emerging issues for early intervention.

  • Partnerships

    Strengthening our partnerships across agencies and government to prevent and divert young people away from youth gangs and disrupt criminal activity.

  • Intelligence

    Growing our collective intelligence holdings and capabilities to identify and strategically target those involved in youth gangs.

  • People

    Building the capacity and capability of our people to reduce the impact of youth gangs.

Enablers

  • Coordination in responding to youth gangs

  • Intelligence-led, evidence-based and responsive approaches
