The Guardian Angels have begun patrolling outside the newly-opened South Bronx migrant shelter wearing their signature red jackets and berets, in an effort they hope will deter crime and ease residents’ fears over public safety. The nonprofit group, founded by current Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, has worked the streets of NYC since 1979.
Working alongside volunteer residents and clergy, the Guardian Angels held a rally Friday, announcing plans to patrol East 141st Street and Bruckner Avenue five days a week on rotating shifts.
