In just about every
country of the world, local communities are engaging groups and teams
of people to patrol the streets to help make them clean and safe. Each
of the communities wants to know how others are forming these patrols
and how they are going about these tasks. What works, what doesn't and
why?
Clearly, there is a real value in sharing information and exchanging
ideas. That is the purpose of this site � to provide a forum in which
it is easy to find out about and share good practice, to check who has
tried which approach, and with what results; to keep pace with the
latest thinking, and ways to win support and attract funds.
Cleaner, safer streets enhance the quality of the lives of the
community. Sensitive and sensible patrolling wards off problems, and
gives local people of all ages an assurance that their locality is
being kept healthy, quiet and secure.
This site is about learning, and putting the lessons to good effect.
The site itself should advance by learning from its users, and adapting
to their interests and needs. Its aim is to feed out useful information
and ideas, and to enable feedback so that the site keeps on course.
