*Important Disclaimer*
Peacekeepers are nonviolent, unarmed, and non-contact participants. We are not security and do not act as law enforcement or bodyguards.

In the state of Florida, referring to yourself as “security” without a state-issued license can be considered illegal. Please do not use that term when describing your role or our team.

Our role is to support community safety through de-escalation, communication, and presence—not through physical intervention. If you're selected to join the Peacekeeper team, you'll receive training on how to operate within these guidelines.

Thank you for your interest in keeping our communities safe.
