Rubicon, I also think this could be an interesting discussion.

We pay for this service. Like any service that is paid for by residents, I expect GOOD customer service, we all should! Up until today i had never given community Watch much thought. I know I have always felt good because I frequently see them patrolling our neighborhood. I appreciate our manned gate. The gate attendants are always personable. The uncaring attitude kinda threw me for a loop.

If they are just "windowdressing" (and I do realize they have no police powers) as Duffysmom says, perhaps the money could be better allocated for something more worthwhile.
