Government Empowers Teenage Criminals To “Patrol” Streets As ‘Urban Rangers’
Sheffield First
Monday, June 22, 2009
Life was spiralling out of control for Sheffield teenager Anthony Tomlinson, 17.
He had been kicked out of school without any qualifications because of his disruptive behaviour. “I’d robbed from cars, been locked up and stood on corners with my hood up just like you read about,” he said.
Thanks to his own determination to change and a ground-breaking pilot scheme – ‘Urban Rangers’ – Anthony’s story today is very different.
Urban Rangers receive training in safety advice, working with the public, and other skills such as first aid. They go out ‘on patrol’ and to community events with staff such as Fire Fighters, Police Community Support Officers and City Centre Ambassadors.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Now a role model
The scheme is the brainchild of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue’s Sheffield District Manager, Richard Chandler, who said: “This scheme is not about keeping kids off the streets. It’s about them getting out there, showing people that they can play a part in building safer, stronger and even greener neighbourhoods.”
Anthony is now considered a role model for other Urban Rangers and is working towards a career in the Fire Service. He says: “Because of Urban Rangers I would never go down that road again.”
Urban Rangers is led by South Yorkshire Fire Service in partnership with Police, Sheffield City Council and Sheffield 50+, the older people’s advisory group.

Doesnt suprises me one bit. The system loves filling its ranks with Thieves, Liars, Murderors, and Charlatans of every sort. Im betting these young criminals will one day make good CEOS at AIG, or maybe even Chairman of the criminal FED.

Some UK cities used to have problems with gangs of kids starting bonfires and throwing stones at the firemen when they were called out. That has been reduced simply by giving the kids the chance to visit a fire station before they get into trouble.

I think the point being made here is that the government are using these “kids,” as another form of low level policing. It may look as though they are doing something positive, but in fact they are just training civilians to police themselves. It sounds a little like the “anti sex league,” from “1984″ by George Orwell. Junior spies. I guess he was right again.
1984 has been a long year…….
Just my opinion.

Guys, wake up! This is nothing more, nothing less, than a kid on the wrong side of the tracks getting his bearings with the help of government. For once we can see government accomplishing something good despite themselves. This kid is not carrying a gun, arresting anyone, or even pushing anyone around … he’s a gopher for the fire department and a helper at events where police cadets or boy scouts might otherwise be employed. He’s making something of himself. How about crawling down off his back.

also true
June 23rd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
if the kids learn to do good, it is good. if the government uses youth to tell on friends and family regarding draconian laws, that is bad. it could go either way. it must also be stressed that the conspirators had planned to use the gangs, illegal aliens and foreign troops to control segmants of the USA. This plan to “help’ the youth could be used as communist youth/brown shirts to turn in their parents if they are breaking new laws. we will see which way it will go. but, i smell a rat…. anything that sounds good, can also be too good to be true.
June 23rd, 2009 at 9:13 pm
This will inevitably turn into a corrupt system where all the kids will just have to find the other criminals wearing the big yellow suits to buy all their drugs and guns. What a country!
