Summary

Richie and Gary set up Safeguard Force to take back the streets of Bournemouth. From knife crime to assaults and stories the press won’t print, they explain why they stepped in when no one else would. They’ve been branded vigilantes and Dorset Police won’t endorse them — but the public support has been huge.
