NSW police hope a new link on their website will help them respond faster to outlaw motorcycle gang violence.
The link – which can be found via the “Help Us Solve a Crime” section on the NSW Police website – will send information directly to State Crime Command’s Gangs Squad officers.
Detective Acting Superintendent Scott Whyte said they hoped it would speed up police’s reaction times.
“(It) will allow police to respond more readily than ever before to reports of OMCG (Outlaw Motorcycle Gang) violence and organised crime,” he said in a statement.
“There is often a ‘code of silence’ associated with OMCG crime, as victims may fear reporting matters to police.
“We want to assure members of the public that no matter how they contact us, all reports are dealt with in strict confidence.”
