> never heard of corrupt police forming a gang. I can’t remember hearing anything about that in the UK or New Zealand or Canada either.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I can certainly speak to that effect as a Canadian aware of at least one similar 'police gang'

Neither article mentions a "deputy gang". It just talks about ordinary police misconduct and corruption, which happens anywhere. It never mentions corrupt police forming a gang with an identifiable name, emblem, membership, etc – which is something I've never heard of outside of the US.
