(3) Suppression of gang-related crimes
In 2021, in response to the current trend of gang-related crimes, the NPA held five regional

security meetings, and launched the “Strategy of Strengthening the Prevention of Gang-related
Crimes,” focusing on practical problems, hoping that through the implementation of building a
database and tracing sources, the methods for suppressing gang-related crimes would be fully
reformed.

Preventing public gang activities

The NPA demanded that all police departments must pay close attention to gang members
participating in public activities, collect evidence, carry out inspections, and show the police’s
determination to crack down on gangs. In 2021, a total of 88 missions were conducted, and 311
underage members were found (Table 7-6).

Carrying out inspections of specific industries

In order to prevent gangs from invading other enterprises’ rights through being listed in share-
holders’ meetings, in 2021, the NPA dispatched police forces to inspect 448 listed companies, and
to monitor 230 shareholders’ meetings, where no incidents or illegal activities were found.
