Kajirin Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Was watching the CI channel this morning and a show came on about anti social behaviour in England. One segment was about the Paws on Patrol initiative, which is basically people signing up to the program and then when walking their dogs they keep an eye out for things like graffiti, burglaries, hoons, groups behaving badly and trashing things etc. They have a numbers to ring [if it's council related or crime related]. They can also keep tabs on the neighbourhood like if mail hasnt' been collected in a while then the council can do a home check to see if the person is ok. Thought it was rather a brilliant idea. But they stress that the dog walkers must never actually try and stop anything themselves, let the police etc deal with it. They are merely the eyes and ears for the police/council. Some give discounts to the volunteers on pet products and the like, which is another good incentive.
