Hey Pugs! In the wake of the terror attacks and related incidents the Civil Defence of Karnataka and Janaagraha have launched a great public-private Initiative called Area Suraksha Mitra Initiative(Neighbourhood Security Representative) for enhancing neighbourhood security.
The Area Surksha Mitra will be inducted into the Civil Defence after due process, and will be trained thereafter by the Civil Defence. This is similar to the "Neighbourhood Watch" programs. It would involve helping out the authorities in emergencies (in that area), as well as keeping an eye on your neighbourhood - so as to help the authorities in better governance. I loved the idea and have volunteered for the same. If you like the idea too, and want to volunteer, or know more please use this URL: http://janaagraha.org/node/2302 (Or just mail me) As a practical example, the coming Aero India show (in Yelahanka) is utilizing the services of the Area Suraksha Mitras. cheers, Prasanna. @Mod: Hope the OT Civil Service Message is okay?
