And you Steve for that thoughtful and great reply, I hope most, if not ALL of the wonderful patrol volunteers feel as you do. I have so much respect respect for them and am amazed at the dedication and time that they put in to this effort. It just makes me so frustrated to see such hard working volunteers hindered by so many rules and regulations in place of giving them added training.
Rather than give the patrol more tools to assist our residents, such as better training in more areas, in my opinion, the added rules treat them like one would a child, “now don’t forget you just observe and report”… These volunteers all had busy professional lives, if they would like to be trained to do more wouldn’t it be great to get that for them, it would be a win-win for all of us?
