So what do they do if they take hostages? You seem to think that just because some neighbor shows up with a semi auto all is well. What if the bad guys have them too?
Does your training involve hostage situations and crowd control?
Start a neighbourhood watch. They work. It takes a presence. .... basically your plan without the years of training and no guns.

They really dont work. Several people have been spotted and nothing has been done about it.
If theres a hostage situation you would have a protocol to follow in that event. Just like there would be protocols to follow for most events you'd be called for.
And the cost of training 1 fulltime LEO is to much for most communities. Let alone training a department full. POC Peace Officers would be a far more cost effective solution and ensure adequate staffing across the province.
