(3) Suppressing Gang-related Criminal Activities
In 2022, in response to the current trend of gang-related crimes, a Gang Sweeping Task Force

was established in each local police department responsible for investigating gang members’
daily lives, collecting evidence of illegal gang-related activities, tracing the roots of gang-related
crimes, and squelching the growth of gangs in problem areas with “Third-Party Policing.”

The NPA requires all police depart-

ments to pay close attention to gang mem-
bers’ participation in public activities via ev-
idence collection, conducting inspections,
demonstrating the determination to crack
down on gang activities, and constructing

an interpersonal information network of
existing gangs. In 2022, police departments conducted a total of 85 gang-related missions, 16,108
people were stopped for gang-related inspection, and 97 minors were found to have taken part in

mobilization activities. The number of people stopped for gang-related inspection was the highest
in recent years. Public opinion was also found to be in agreement with the police force’s strict law
enforcement measures. (Table 7-6)
