We work with law enforcement if a crime is committed. We only use force as a last resort. We only use force in self-defense of ourselves or another innocent person. Of course there are other things that we do in the J.A.I. other just assist law enforcement when it comes to patrols, but we're NOT! in any way affiliated with them nor are we law enforcement ourselves.

Are you thrill seekers? Do you want to get into fights with individuals on the streets?
!!!ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! We do not do this for thrills or want to fight anyone. We are against violence. When we are on the streets we patrol to prevent and stop violence. We never want to see anyone getting hurt and we do not want to get into a situation at all if it can be avoided. We would much rather talk a potentially volatile situation down then have to get physically involved. A slow and boring night on patrol is a good night for us.
Do you carry weapons on patrol?
Yes and No. Some of our members carry weapons on patrol and some do not. The JAI allows their members to carry only non-lethal weapons on patrol. Firearms and deadly weapons are strictly prohibited!!. Any self-defense weapons to be carried on patrol are subject to approval by the Division Commander and Sr. Chief Of the JAI.
Are you accountable?
Yes! We are private citizens and are subject to the same laws as everyone else. We have no special powers of search or arrest, etc.
What would you guys do if you saw someone raping, robbing or trying to kill someone on patrol?
We would physically intervene, protect the victim from further harm, make a citizen's arrest if it's safe to do so, and call 9-1-1.
