Our mission is to reduce crime and raise quality of life in the United States.
Choose a focus, find the right partners, and build trust through consistent, lawful action.
Key goals
These are the pillars we support in every city and town. Pick what fits your neighborhood and build momentum.
Host a Night Out with a neighbor on your block. Invite local officers or community liaisons. Keep it welcoming and simple. You don't need a crowd to be effective.
Walk your street after dark. Note lighting, crossings, and blind spots. Send a concise and friendly list to public works. Paper trails are essential to navigating bureacuracy
Patrols are about presence, observation, and good communication. They are not about confrontation. You do not and SHOULD NOT intervene in active crime. Many cities pair neighborhood groups with community-policing teams so volunteers can serve the public without crossing legal lines.
- Coordinate with your police community liaison before you begin. Agree on routes, check-in times, and what to report.
- Observe and report only. Do not pursue, block, or physically engage. Call 911 for emergencies and use the non-emergency line for routine issues.
- Stay in public spaces. Respect transit authority rules and local ordinances. Follow posted instructions from transit staff and officers.
- Patrol in small groups. Wear visible identifiers like vests, carry flashlights, and keep a charged phone. Use a shared group chat or radios.
- Focus on safety hazards you can document: broken lights, unsecured doors, vandalism, or recurring hot spots. Send concise notes to the right agency.
- Seek de-escalation and bias-awareness training. Your goal is to reduce risk for everyone involved. DO NOT promote vigilantism.
Tip: Many major metropolises such as Chicago offer citizen police academies and formal volunteer patrol programs. Ask your department how to participate.
No one person formally assigned to fix society. We become better as a community when people decide to take helpful, lawful steps without being told. That spirit is the heart of this project.
Start with the place you live, the route you commute, or the school your kids attend. Choose one action you can sustain and invite a neighbor to join you.
- Share 988 and 211 in your circles and add them to your building or HOA page.
- Adopt a block: report broken lights, request crosswalk fixes, and follow up until they are done.
- Offer to walk seniors to the bus stop or team up for a litter and lighting check on your street.
- Volunteer once a month with a youth, reentry, or recovery program that aligns with your values.
Small, steady efforts compound. The point is not to do everything. It is to do something real and keep going.
