Armed guards will be deployed at a Melbourne station where a community leader says gangs play the grand final of their wars.
Before winning government in Victoria in 2010, the coalition promised to have 940 protective services officers rolled out across every Melbourne train station and major regional stops by November 2014.
Police Minister Peter Ryan says the protective services officers will patrol Sunshine Railway Station on bringing the total number across Melbourne to 259.
Prominent youth worker Les Twentyman says he's pleased the state government and police admit Melbourne has a gang problem.
