(3) Suppression of Organized Crime

In the area of subduing hoodlums and gangs, the NPA has adopted two approaches: "prevention
in advance" and "suppression in hotspots" to fight against organized crime. To this end, guidelines

and programs to eradicate organized crime have been implemented, such as the "Intelligence
Collection of Organized Crime," "Preventing Gangs from Publicizing Activities," "Check-ups on
Publicly Traded Companies," " Zhi-Pian Anti-Gangster Program" and "National Simultaneous Gang
Sweeps." In 2017, apart from suppressing organized crime by "3 Strategies about Gang-Sweeping",
the NPA also completed the modification of "Organized Crime Prevention Act". The NPA also

implemented "Operation Getting Rid of Bullies" in order to prevent gangsters from committing
crimes by hiding themselves in specific political parties or civilian organizations. In addition, the NPA
will implement strong systematic gang-sweeping strategies to strike on thugs, gangsters' illegal

income, gangsters' business and bouncers in 2018.
