Gang and Neighborhood Crime Abatement Team

Mission

The Gang and Neighborhood Crime Abatement Team's (GNCAT) primary mission is the prevention and reduction of crime, thereby making the City of Madison a safer community. This will be achieved by employing a centralized, community-policing and problem-solving approach driven by intelligence.

Composition

The GNCAT will be comprised of 8 officers and 2 Sergeants broken across 2 shifts. There will primarily be a day shift (8am-4pm) and an afternoon shift (12pm-8pm), working Monday through Friday that provides overlap for operations requiring maximum staffing. Officers address emerging gang and crime trends and targeted enforcement efforts.
