Madison gang issues have become more complex, Police Chief Noble Wray said at a packed Downtown Madison Inc. breakfast this morning.
“We still have the African-American gangs that arrived in the first surge of gang activity here in the late 1980s and 1990s,” he said. “We have Asian gangs. The latest surge that began in 2004 and is still continuing has brought an increase in Latino gangs and young girl gangs, with girls more violent than they used to be.”
And gang activity is not just here in Madison but all around Dane County, Wray added.
