Where I live in here in California we have a volunteer police force. Anyone can join, it's unpaid, and you get a uniform. They even have special police cars marked as "volunteer", no red and blue lights, but instead orange. They do traffic enforcement - mostly at the local schools directly traffic when the kids get let out of school - and quietly patrol late at night. I don't know if they are armed or not, but I know their instructions are to never confront anyone and instead to call the regular police.
Our HOA also has a security force that patrols at night. I rarely see them.
