Some police officers are sceptical about the Government's new crackdown on gangs.
The Police Minister and Police Commissioner have announced the establishment of a new National Gang Unit.
It'll have around 30 people and up to seven ring-fenced officers in each police district.
Police Association President Chris Cahill told Roman Travers that if it doesn't have more funding, you're just asking staff to do more work.
He says officers are pretty keen to get into these gangs, but they're bogged down with the amount of work they've got at the moment.
