Guardian Angels Come To Lend A Hand In Camden
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – With layoffs set to substantially reduce the size of Camden’s police force, the founder of the volunteer crime fighting Guardian Angels arrived in town today (Sunday), to mark the start of three months of volunteer patrols.
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa (photo, center) has brought in 40 volunteers to patrol the four corners of Camden, in an effort to fill the void left by the loss of 180 police officers as of Tuesday, thanks to a new austerity budget.
Those arriving Sunday came from as far afield as upstate New York, but the primary aim is to recruit and train local Guardian Angels to maintain a regular presence.
