Anybody can sign up for us locals on patrol shop smart Garberville 6 p.m. weekdays except Wednesdays there’s a self-defense . Just show up with a good attitude . And have a little common sense and be level headed. We could use all the help we could get. It’s kind of fun getting out and walking and meeting people. It’s also rewarding.

I commend you local folks on finally realising how overworked and under staffed the hum.co.sheriff’s dept IS- and that the greatest loss of patrols is in the southern humboldt district. I commend you for taking a strong and dangerous stance against the rampant criminal element there. You have shown great courage- more than those of us who simply grew Fed up and moved away. Thank you.

You can join the patrol by just showing up at the Ray’s parking lot at 6 on Monday through Friday. I think Wednesday is a lil later because their self defense class. But they only ask that you show up and be level headed and calm under pressure.

Must a person be born and raised locally to join the patrol? Or would that just cause a conflict?
I’ve Lived here 10 years now. My fiancé graduated from SFHS. We have three children all born locally. My fiancé is also a member of locals on patrol on FB. Id like to help since I work in Garberville, but also I don’t want to feel intrusive since I’m not technically a local just a citizen.

If your family didn’t kill and steal land from a Indian, clear cut log the place then subdivide and sell it off to a hippy from the city for a inflated price per acre at high interest and 50% of the crop he grew, then you’re not a local.

Now that we’ve heard a sarcastic response, how about a serious one. He wasn’t claiming to be a local…

Watch it..you only have to be a criminal for 10years to be a “local” and if you live here twenty years and never do anything to s too crime or catch a criminal- you’re a local…no matter how long you’re a resident if you continually turn your back on justice out of contempt, fear, or just selfishness- you’re part of The problem not the solution. There could not exist the magnanimous quantity of criminality if not for the equal distribution of cowardess and negligence on the part of the communities “law abiding” citizanship

Any one can come and walk with us. You just have to show up. It is Monday-Friday, we meet at 6pm at Rays parking lot. You don’t have to commit to everyday, we are just happy to have help. If you want to see the town you live and work in clean, and safer for your children, that to me is being a local.

Join. It’s your obligation to join. Anyone who isn’t helping is a hindrance to law enforcement…every time somebody says “I don’t want to get involved”, another person just became a victim with out justice served.

He mist likely was that guy you mentiin, but in Humboldt county they are busy and overbooked down at the jail house and they mismanaged all our funds to make things work , let alone keep a scumbag like this locked up and keep the general public safe.
It’s not in their hands, it’s in yours and every other law abiding citizen to keep our community safe and free of scum.
