Guardian Angels

Last night at the shop Western Regional Director Robert McClintick and another Guardian Angel came to speak. (http://www.guardianangels.org/) There was a good turn out and a lot of support expressed. They are recruiting and training local folks and you can make contact with them through the shop. Any age or gender is welcome and there are lots of ways to be involved - not just street patrol.

The street outside my shop looks so peaceful. Its hard to see it as a potential crime scene, but it has to be thought of that way. Right now birds are feasting in the feeder hung in the pear tree and dog owners are strolling up and down the street, exercising their pets. Its a warm and lazy afternoon. The Guardian Angels will make their unique contribution to maintaining our streets as safe places to loaf on warm and lazy afternoons.........and to walk on without fear at any hour. Should there be an incident that the NOPD can't get to, they are well trained and effective.
