The watch that I served with had a single patrol car with identification on it and there was always a 12 gauge shotgun in it. Some of us had handguns we carried while on patrol...some did not. We patrolled in pairs and the AO was patrolled 24/7.

I honestly do not know much about "neighborhood watches" and I am stunned that they could be armed. Here my town even our "volunteer police" are unarmed. Then again, I live in a town where we have a very low crime rate.
Did you have any special training for this?
