It is 'community enforcement', they volunteered didn't they, it's not by force, by state, or are being paid to do it.
- ryanbrunner 6y agoSure, that's fine - my point is that a blanket "you can't be law enforcement" doesn't make this distinction. If you want to include something like that in your license, you need to be a lot more clear about what "law enforcement" entails. Right now it makes no mention of whether it's speaking about professional law enforcement, state-operated law enforcement, or anything like that.
