Patrol Areas Expanded

Posted by on Feb 19, 2012 in neighborhood information | 0 comments

We’ve added a few more square miles to our Safety Patrols in Los Angeles as of this past week. Mr Howard Winkler, drug Commissioner for Los Angeles, contacted Curtis Sliwa about the possibility of Guardian Angels adding Safety Patrols to a few neighborhoods. Curtis is always looking for more ways for the Guardian Angels to help their communities, so he contacted our Chapter to verify our availability, and we’ve already started the new additional patrols.

The Pico-Robertson neighborhood had the first benefit of added patrols. We will be adding Fairfax and Hancock Park this week, too. The residents and business owners we’ve met so far have been wonderful. I’m looking forward to our continued patrols in these areas.

If you are interested in helping with any of these patrols, please Contact Us and lend a hand. If you would rather support our efforts in this community, please consider an appropriate contribution. You’re help is very important to make this added Safety Patrol keep this community as safe as possible.

We all want to make a difference in our neighborhoods, and the Guardian Angels get VERY involved and proactively patrol the streets and neighborhoods, deterring crime, and even stopping crimes in progress. But, what are the crimes we encounter? Specifically, if we stop somebody (and especially if we arrest them!) we MUST have a VERY clear understanding of what we’re allowed to do. Otherwise, we’re  possibly committing a crime ourselves -  the exact opposite of our goal! Let’s get some clear definitions in our heads.

Violent Lessons From Last Night

Posted by on Feb 5, 2012 in Contact and Cover, handcuff, Hollywood | 2 comments

I’m a believer in the idea of Kaizen: Constant Intentional Improvement through analysis of what is and isn’t already working well. Last night we stopped some fights about to happen, and put hands on some people already fighting. It went very well, but there’s still room for improvement. Here’s what happened, followed by what I hope happens better next time.

Peter’s Note: Train Smarter than you do now. There is NO excuse for training that will condemn you. Now we know better. If you belong to social media groups with “tough-guy” labels and proudly walk around with more “tough-guy” t-shirts, and post internet photos and videos of your “tough-guy” skills … then defending yourself in court is going to be whole lot more difficult than defending yourself against violence.

WATERTOWN, SD – An early morning bar fight in Watertown two weeks ago has resulted in a murder investigation.

A mixed martial arts instructor is accused of beating 26-year-old Justin Jaton outside a Watertown bar. Jaton, who was hospitalized in Sioux Falls, died Thursday morning.
