The patrollers who have been fighting crime in Bristol for 20 years

With their bright yellow and orange hi vis, it is easy to spot the "Peacemakers patrol". We meet on a hot, sunny day by the Morrisons along Fishponds Road. For 20 years now, this group has been fighting crime in the city. Starting off in St Pauls at a time when crime was at an all-time high, the Peacemakers have now taken their work all over the world and cover many areas of Bristol.

Their passion for what they do is obvious from the moment you meet them. Shuanna-Lee Samuel has been involved in the group since its inception 20 years ago, now having the title of "first officer" - meaning she is second in command.
