SAFETY PATROLS

The Safety Patrol is the foundation of our organization.  There is nothing like the real-life test of patrolling our streets and making a difference in the lives of families imprisoned in their own neighbourhoods.  Due to the high demands of staying safe and continual real-life practice, you will gain a more practical understanding of the following concepts:

Safety Patrols members can join from age of 16 and older. Men and Woman.

We teach you for free!

  • ·         Self-discipline
  • ·         Self-defense
  • ·         Leadership
  • ·         Communication
  • ·         Initiative
  • ·         Problem solving
  • ·         Teamwork
  • ·         Conflict management
  • ·         Integrity
  • ·         First Aid
  • ·         Public arrest procedures

If you are willing to test yourself and take the challenge, join our Safety Patrol team.

 Fighting Back 

With financial and volunteer support from people just like you, the Washington DC Guardian Angels will be able to provide volunteer patrols in your community. Our volunteers have training to assist victims in dozens of incidents ranging from vandalism, violence, motor vehicle accidents, public disorder and assault with a deadly weapon.  We can also provide crime prevention patrols, escorts, administer emergency first aid, and help deter disturbances before they became criminal incidents in many more cases.

We deter gangs by recruiting the same young men and women they target for membership.  In addition our non-patrolling Youth Angel Programs for school kids is directed at kids at an age that they are most susceptible to gang recruitment.  Since 1989, we have started training young men and women to be real life role models in their local neighbourhoods. We need your help to keep our program continuing its vital work.  With your support we are going to take our neighbourhoods back: block by block and train our young people: leader by leader.

We would like to thank members of the public for their support, and hopefully with more support will you see us on the streets on regular basis.

When you see us in our red berets and red and white Guardian Angels T-Shirts, just remember we are here to try and make DC a safer place for all of us.

The Washington DC Guardian Agels are still looking for more individuals ages 16 and older, willing to volunteer their time to discourage crime and KEEP OUR CITY SAFE!

The ALLIANCE OF GUARDIAN ANGELS, INC. is a non-profit organization – wholly manned by volunteers.

You’ll be helping keep crime off the streets and making our city a safer place to live, work and play through applying the unarmed combat skills we teach, to deter criminals.

Volunteer only 8 to 10 hours per month (training times included) in changing our city.

Volunteer today and change your own life.
