So Where Are the Guardian Angels?
Crissy asks in the comments ...
ok, i know the guardian graduated, so where are they the crime has gotten worse not better. where are they? does anyone know? now you know what i mean by lip service. when are they going to help this community? they just want donations thats what they are all about. we need help here in houston. who will help stop the murders the drive bye's the crimes what is going on with houston? DOES ANYONE KNOW? i guess we houstonites will have to move and just let the crime take over. i don't know about you but it is rediculous. when new orleans had 5 murders in one day they brought in the national guard. last november we had 17 murders so where is our national guard? something needs to be done sooner not later
Good question. Wish I knew. They sure aren't walking in my neighborhood.

Crissy,
First and foremost the Guardian Angels is a volunteer organization so we are not on the streets 24 hours a day. When we are most people are already in bed. Unfortunately we also do not have the manpower to patrol the entire city so we have to concentrate our efforts in neighborhoods where we have membership. I can send a patrol to your neighborhood but if I do not have quality people from your area who I can leave there to patrol regularly then the criminals will come back as soon as we leave. As for your comment about fundraising you could not be more wrong. More than 90% of what little money we have raised has come from our volunteers (donations are NOT a requirement for membership). My suggestion to you and anyone else who reads this board is to take a couple of hours one weekend and come and see what we are about. You seem to have a strong opinion about us but never once have you attempted to contact me even though my information is easily found on-line. Since you do seem so passionate about what we do I personally invite you to attend one of our patrols or even one of our training sessions and see for yourself what we are about. You may even decide to join, if only to patrol your own neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Scott Ward
