hehe. but what's with the high vis jackets?

its been shown to directly relate to public perception of a police presence, and the more visible deterrent factor. please don't ask for a link, i think it was Hull university about 6yrs ago.

They are clearly lucky to have your experience, as it sounds like they have a lot to learn; hopefully this initiative will put a lid on rising crime in that area, while it is not too late.

If I wasn't in my late thirties and chubby, i'd consider some kind of police work. Do they have community police (unpaid volunteers, i think) there as they do in the uk? I am always stepping in to situations being a good citizen.

not as such no, the concept of 'special' constables as we would know it does not appear to have reached the cities, well not this one anyway. having said that i believe the RCMP do have some kind of volunteer force, perhaps check with them.
