Police Union raises funding and staffing concerns over new ‘Gang Unit’

NZ Gang Unit news

The police union is ‘disturbed’ by the government’s latest initiative to crack down on gangs, noting it does not include additional funding or staff.

A new national gang unit and district gang disruption teams are being established to remove patched gang members from the streets and reduce crime and intimidation.

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster indicated that this would involve reallocating existing resources and possibly new investments.

However, the announcement on Tuesday lacked specifics, and the Police Association was not consulted, according to its president, Chris Cahill.

Cahill told state media he was concerned that without increased funding and staffing, officers would be expected to do more with less. He said there are already over 250 vacancies in the force, and re-allocating officers to the gang unit would deplete frontline resources further.

“We don’t have the resources; we know we can’t meet the current demand,” Cahill said. “To make this work, police will need either more money, more staff, or to stop doing other essential tasks.”

  1. I have heard they are having a hard time recruiting people, funny that. I guess people have their self respect and ethics to consider.

  2. The “gang unit” will simply be another mouth to feed when the coppers already have the organised crime unit. Gangs are organised crime period. Classify them as orgnaised crime bodies and dela with them instead of dealing WITH them.

  3. Dead right they are organized crime! I don’t recall the police union asking for less funding or raise concerns about labour’s policy to go softly softly on them. No concerns raised about giving them a million dollars to to get their patched members hooked on their product clean and back to the business of peddling it??
    The corrections didn’t get less funding when courts were told to go soft and put them on home detention. So suck it up butter cups time to do your job. The rest of us new those approaches wouldn’t work, where we’re the big mouthed police union then???

  4. … sorry… WHOSE police?
    This corporation has been armed and weaponised to protect globalist fraudsters against the living men and women of this, OUR country.
    Since their implementation they have enforced satanic cultist doctrine and agenda under the infiltration of secret satanic cult organisations, guilty of heinous crimes and terrorist acts.
    This police corporation is aligned with and adheres to and enforces onto us, this satanic cultist manifesto.
    The ‘justice’ corporation destroys us living men and women by fraudulently enforcing this satanic cultist manifesto onto us using deception and cooersion.
    The globalist satanic cult media reinforces the cultist dogma using weaponised psychologically loaded imagery and thought leading to manifest the desires of the satanic cult which owns or heads most agencies.
    And if you speak up to expose the fraud and the satanic, Godless transhumanist murderous deception, the cultist agencies and those under their wesponised and historic deception machine will gaslight you, ban you, censor you, jail you, turn your friends against you, take your job away, take your kids away, kill you.
    See the serpent.
    We never consented to this.
    The ultimatum is now
    STAND UP AGAINST THE SATANIC CULT WHICH HAS INFESTED OUR PLANET OR DO NOTHING AND EMPOWER THE CULT WITH YOUR FECKLESS TACIT AGREEMENT, AND BE DESTROYED WITH YOUR CULT AS WE RISE.
    ACT NOW

  5. I have a better name, the ‘Flying Cuck squad’.

    The solution to the Gangs on the street problem is to classify gangs as terrorists, then you can use the Army against them, then the Police can stop and cordon off gang convoys, ask they to submit to searches and ID checks, if they don’t then call the Commandos in (who are on 24/7 standby) they will arrive in a few hours by helicopter in full body armour and armed and they will take them down with extreme prejudice and will take Patches for trophies.
    Next time the gangs will be Yes Sir, No Sir to the police.

  6. Rupert is correct on all fronts.
    This Gang Squad will eventually target the minor Political Parties (ie NZ Loyal, Outdoors & Freedom Party, New Conservative, etc) as the past actions of the ‘Boys in Blue” at Parliament 2 years ago and the ill treatment and injuries inflicted on Liz Gunn, Sue Gray and Alan are proof that the cops will continue their criminal gangster-like behaviours, while presenting the facade of fighting gang-related and gang-based crimes.
    The governments of the world NEED THE GANGS, as in the NZ Economy, the underground gang-related wealth generation (ie drugs, firearms, etc.) keeps this country afloat.
    The government NEEDS THE GANGS to also do the dirty work of the government when the government doesn’t want to be implicated in violating the civil, & human rights of Targeted Individuals.
    Deals for early prison releases, dismissal or reductions in criminal charges for favouritism in committing acts against those the government or cops don’t like (Aussie Cossack is a prime example…) are tantamount and taxpayer funded.
    The cops are nothing more than an extension of the Masonic Lodge that infest the elements of law enforcement, the judicial, and contracted businesses.
    In addition, most Police in Western Nations are TRAINED BY THE ISRAELIS, hence the increase in abuses by the cops.
    We are ALL Palestinians nowadays!
