A police force said it will not endorse the activities of volunteers in Bournemouth who have set up a uniformed “force” to patrol the streets, adding a review of their vetting processes highlighted “areas of significant concern”.
Safeguard Force, whose volunteers will wear branded bibs, said it aims to create “safer, more supportive communities by providing visible, compassionate and non-confrontational patrols” which were set to start on August 11.
