Meet West Hollywood's security ambassadors. They're not police officers and they're not armed but they're making citizens feel safe again.
Crimes against unsuspecting victims in very public ways has become a trend many have never seen before. Is there anything that can be done to make these types of attacks less frequent?Block by Block Security Ambassador
"Our mission is to be a visible deterrent on the street. To try to offset any low-hanging fruit criminal activity," said Shea Gibson, manager of the West Hollywood Security Ambassadors."Just having them out there, the residents know that they're there and people who might be looking for an opportunity may be deterred by seeing them," she said.
"People can come to that kiosk and get general information if they need to. They know it's a central location where an ambassador will be for sure. They can definitely find someone for safety or, again, general information, first aid, anything they might need at that moment," said Gibson. Nat Polhamus, the owner of New Profanity, believes it's a fantastic program. Polhamus moved her store to West Hollywood last year and says while other cities provide similar security, the commitment by West Hollywood to the program makes all the difference.
