66442 (2024). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Police: How many arrests, if any, have the National Gang Unit made during September 2024?

Hon Mark Mitchell: Police's National Gang Unit supports districts to plan and coordinate operational activity, share intelligence and good practice. It is not responsible for making arrests. As at 11 October, there were four constabulary and three non-Constabulary employees in temporary roles in the National Gang Unit, with the permanent appointments process underway. The Gang Disruption Units will be focused on gang enforcement, and in particular enforcing the new gangs legislation when it comes into effect.
