Like any other community, Gonzales has residents that have gang ties and affiliations. While Gonzales’ gang issues are not as prevalent as other communities it is still an issue that the police department monitors and takes enforcement action on.

The first and foremost thing that any resident can do is to report any gang activity that they witness. The community members are the extra sets of eyes and ears that the police department needs to address any gang problems. Without the help of the public, it is difficult for the police department on its own to prevent all gang violence or issues.
