Georgia Targets Gangs with New Tactics | Augusta Georgia News

Georgia’s law enforcement is going after criminal street gangs with unprecedented force, targeting entire organizations—not just individuals. With nearly 2,000 active gangs and over 127,000 members linked to 65% of state crimes, authorities are cracking down on everything from meth and fentanyl trafficking hidden in produce to gun violence and human trafficking. The GBI is ramping up inter-agency cooperation through a real-time gang database, securing over 140 convictions against multi-county operations. Task forces are expanding into Macon and Columbus, and even prison walls are under surveillance to stop gang plots from forming behind bars—all while leveraging tough new anti-gang laws to dismantle these dangerous networks.
