Police to patrol Leeds streets with McDonald's marshals to beat crime | Mail Online

Police to patrol Leeds streets with McDonald's marshals to beat crime | Mail Online: "McDonald’s is helping to pay for a team of police officers and civilians to patrol the streets of a city centre at night.
The ‘street marshals’ are being funded entirely by local businesses, including the fast food chain, to try to control alcohol-fuelled violence.
Critics, however, fear the scheme is another potentially dangerous example of ordinary citizens being used to replace police officers to save money."
