If you would like to make a unique and valuable contribution to the community and feel you have the following qualities, then we would like to hear from you.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
