We started our patrol right away in the hot zone of the Tenderloin District,  Turk and Taylor,  upon approach we discovered that SFPD had already been in the area running the local riff raff off the streets, so we made our way a few blocks up where the TL has  literally a street bordering the Swanky hotels and clubs on one side parallel  to the seedy underbelly of drugs and crime on the other.

This gentleman saw us posted up waiting for orders from our Patrol Leader,  who is also Second in Command of the San Francisco Chapter- Bobcat.  He approached Staff Sargent Frisco and asked how he could start an Oklahoma chapter , after a few moments of conversation he gave the man information on who to look for (Third Rail and Curtis) and contact them for further info.

We found a rats nest of crack cocaine smokers in this door way 7 people all smoking crack out in the open as if it was  a cigeret break, we posted up and after some foul names were given to us we just stood there silently and they eventually left the area.

Bobcat after giving the instructions to follow his lead,  do not speak, do not stare, watch your partner and surroundings and after the areas clear we will move on to the next spot.

We've been out looking for a missing person for the last few patrols that we have been on as well as the common practice of let our presence be known, deterring crime, talking to the public as well as give aid where needed, and as you can see we in SFGA keep a tight formation and carry ourselves with pride and respect, this is our city, our home and we love it, we have sworn to be of service within our ability any way we can.

They spotted a homeless woman screaming and yelling as she walked down the street, there are times when one must make a difficult decision on whether or not the person maybe on drugs or suffering from mental illness and how to address said situation, but it was obvious, as it is to often seen that this particular case, it was the later , its heartbreaking to see people who cannot help themselves, have been abandoned or become the next targets of victimization  and so that is why we are here, when no one else will, we dare to care.

Some one either left there car trunk open or it was broken into. Local residents said its been that way for over 20 mins we closed the trunk to prevent anyone from thinking about stealing anything of value that may have been left inside.

Residents of an apartment building super excited and feeling comforted to see our presence in the TL, they had so many questions and compliments we had to be selective of our answers because of time needing to be utilized to its fullest advantage this evening

A business owner and his young daughter thanking us and  saying how happy he  is to see the Guardian Angels  patrolling the streets, too bad we cant run a day and night patrol we'd really clean house out here, but unfortunately we can only do so much, some GA's have Day Jobs, Children and School, but when our boots hit the street, were here for to make a difference.
