A
civilian crime-fighting
organization, founded in the "Fear City"
70s days of
New York by
Curtis Sliwa. They are, perhaps, the spiritual ancestor of all those "Community Watch" programs. Now a worldwide thing, and they're in
cyberspace as well - the CyberAngels were founded in 1995, to protect your kiddies from being mugged by a miscreant router or blink tag. Or something. But Curtis still says "DOS" stands for "Department of Sanitation".
