I had a super in-depth response written out but my phone crashed and I lost it. I'm furious!!!

This is my forté. As already answered there is no specific taskforce. In London (Met Police) they have Operation Trident to deal with the gangs and gun activity.

I know mostly about Liverpool and Manchester gangs if you have any Qs I'll try and answer

[Gang War] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1903854296/) is interesting. As the name suggests, it covers Mcr's gang wars up until it was published in 2005 including what caused it to have nicknames like Gunchester, and the takeover of nightclub doors (Manchester eventually had a licensing scheme for bouncers called Doorsafe long before the national SIA one). I lived in halls in Chorlton from 1997 - 2001 and passed through Hulme most days where it was clear that there was something going on in the background. The odd pub suddenly disappeared and Hulme market moved, ostensibly as part of the regeneration. I also knew it was wise not to poke my nose in too much.

Since it was written Dessie Noonan was murdered in 2005, there were the riots in 2011, and Paul Massey was murdered in 2015.
