Guardian Angels seek presence in N.O.
A contingent of Guardian Angels is in New Orleans because the group wants to train local civilians to form neighborhood patrols that will deter criminal activity as the city recovers from Hurricane Katrina.
I seem to recall they tried this in New Orleans about a generation ago. Not sure what became of that.

“Although the group, with chapters in about 65 cities, hasn’t officially spoken with ranking administrators in the New Orleans Police Department, McClintick said his group of 20 volunteers were welcomed by police as they patrolled the French Quarter Friday night.”
I wonder how many people were “patrolling” Maiden Voyage. Is the Quarter where they’re the most needed??
