Foreword by John B. Wilt, Colonel (Retired), U.S. Airforce
ReserveToday, concerns over homeland security have led thousands of
Americans to volunteer for various citizen emergency response
groups, such as the Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary,
Community Emergency Response Teams, fire units, etc. In Citizens
Defending America, Martin Greenberg focuses new attention on the
subject of citizen volunteerism by chronicling the nature and
purpose of volunteer police units-authorized organizations of a
public or private nature that work at deterring crime and/or
preventing terrorism for little or no monetary compensation-in
America since 1620. A number of these historical groups responsible
for maintaining the civil order of the day-slave patrols, frontier
posses, vice suppression societies, the American Protective League,
for example-now seem controversial when viewed through a
contemporary lens. Greenberg uses the history of such groups to
reflect upon the nation's past and to consider the possibilities
for a safe and secure future. He also emphasizes the role of young
people in the fields of security and safety, and stresses the need
for more qualified, trained volunteers to help cope with man-made
and natural disasters.
