Volunteers don easily recognizable red berets, white T-shirts emblazoned with "Guardian Angels Patrol" or red jackets so citizens can turn to them for help. Their presence in such distinctive attire can also help deter crime.

Former angel Ricardo Garcia, who has lived in Hawaii for 20 years, decided to start the Hawaii chapter.

Garcia, 38, who joined the group in 1982 in Chicago, will again wear the red beret. "I have three daughters, and for them and the kids of Hawaii, I want to make sure they can walk the streets with no fear," said the former Marine.
