The Police Commissioner says feedback from the gang-patch crackdown has been mostly positive on all fronts.
More than 300 charges have been filed for breaches since the ban came into force in November.
Police say they've also seized 76 patches.
Commissioner Richard Chambers says the ban is leaving a positive impact thus far.
"More importantly, the public is saying that they are actually feeling safer - they aren't experiencing the same intimidation that they had in the past. So I think this has been a good piece of legislation."
