The groups expressed concern that incidents linked to goonism have been increasing in recent months, often occurring in full view of security agencies.
They claimed that, in some cases, the response from law enforcement officers has been slow or insufficient, raising questions about accountability within the police service.
Hussein Khalid, speaking on behalf of the organisations, said they are prepared to move to court if decisive action is not taken.
He maintained that the law provides clear guidelines on the responsibility of the police to ensure public safety and prevent criminal activity.
“We cannot continue to witness organised violence while those tasked with protecting the public remain inactive. If this trend continues, we will have no option but to seek legal redress,” he said.
The organisations further noted that goonism not only threatens public safety but also undermines democratic processes, particularly when such groups are allegedly used to disrupt gatherings or intimidate individuals.
They warned that failure to address the issue could erode public confidence in security institutions.
They called on senior police commanders to take immediate and concrete measures to dismantle such groups and bring those responsible to justice.
According to the lobby groups, restoring public trust requires visible action and accountability from the police leadership.
At the same time, the organisations urged the Independent Policing Oversight Authority to step in and investigate claims of inaction or complicity within the police service.
They argued that independent oversight is critical in ensuring that security agencies operate within the law and uphold the rights of citizens.
The warning comes amid growing public debate on the role of security agencies in managing public order and addressing criminal activities.
Several stakeholders have called for reforms aimed at strengthening policing systems and improving responsiveness.
