The LA riots and recently Antifa and BLM inspired riots in major and small American cities and towns alike! The danger and threat is real. No one is immune!
You are rightly concerned for you, your family and your neighborhoods safety and security! You can’t do it alone! Someone has to stand guard, while you sleep, cook and chop wood! You need to recruit and organize an armed first response patrol of like minded dependable adults that share similar concerns. How do you do it!
The difficult part is identifying potential members you can trust while being discreet. They should have attitudes, values and mindset you can all reasonably share and respect.You also need to identify and appreciate the skills, experiences, training and resources each potential member brings to the table.
Like a lot of Americans some of you may not even know your neighbors 4 to 5 doors down from your door. So how do you get the word out!
Organize a block party. This does a number of things!:
The opportunity to then meet your neighbors and observe their behavior and conduct
Builds a sense of community
Create a general contact list
Inherently identify area and size of the street, cul-de-sac or area of regard
Casually discuss to any who will listen, your idea to form a neighborhood “watch” program
Post block party follow-up:
Create an informal newsletter from your general contact list.
Create an emergency neighborhood phone and text tree
Invite prospects to an informal BBQ to discuss organizing a neighborhood “watch”
Discuss a “static” watch where people report what they see on a text or FB group.
Discuss and encourage informal but regular evening neighborhood “watch” walks
Sign people up.
Stand up the neighborhood watch:
Participate in neighborhood “watch” walks
Converse with them
Arrange and host first aid, CPR, AED, crime and fire prevention and other related training
Gain their trust. Earn their trust
Sign-up volunteers
Have regular socials like bake sales, lemonade stands, garage sales and block party’s. Build community.
First Response Patrol recruitment:
Invite like minded members of the “watch” to other social gatherings
Arrange and host a day at the range
Arrange and host basic to advance firearms and tactics training
Arrange and TACMED training
Arrange basic rescue and firefighting training
Gain their trust. Earn their trust
Divide the patrol up into first aid, fire and rescue, and security elements.
Sign-up members
Even if you never recruit and organize a First Response Patrol. You’ll at least have an emergency contact list and an informal structure, a kinship if you will, from which to organize from!
Stay safe!
Remember YMMV
