Officers focus primarily on the investigation of crimes involving gangs and on the successful apprehension and prosecution of gang members. The Gang Unit has identified several gangs in the City of Sunland park. In the last year, the Gang Unit investigated many cases. These cases involved everything from vandalism and auto theft to assaults, stabbings, drive-by shootings and drug arrests. The Gang Unit is extremely proactive and, along with gang enforcement, conducts gang awareness presentations for various community organizations such as schools, churches, parent/teacher groups, property management associations, and other city departments.
