The association runs a volunteer street patrol for young people in the city and the Hollola area. Patrols visit youth hangouts on Friday evenings and on festive days such as Vappu, the end of the school term and events.
New volunteers are trained using the NonStop model, and you can join as a street patroller or a supporting member. The activity began in the late 1970s as event patrolling at the Salpausselkä races, and street patrols started in 1991. The support association was founded in 1992, and the model comes from Västerås in Sweden.
