Policies & documents

How we operate, in writing.

You shouldn't have to take our word for how a patrol is run. These are the documents every Patrol Member is trained against and held to. They're reviewed as the patrol grows, and we'll always tell members when something changes.

No legal powers

We are members of the public. No searches, no detaining, no physical intervention — 999 for anything urgent.

Written down, not improvised

Every member is trained against the same documents, and signs to say they've read them.

Ask us anything

If something here isn't clear, message us. We would rather explain it than have you guess.
