They were basically like old fashioned beat bobbies - in that they were highly visible and got to know members of the community very well. They don't quite have the same powers as the police but they did have some and they were the sort of bridge between the community and the police. They did a good job and crime did reduce in those areas that had them. They brought a sense of security to the areas. They were in the main deprived areas.

We've never had them in Ossy.
