Thanet
Community Patrol Justice has been served Last spring, the streets of Thanet were patrolled by the friendly faces of Rodney and Mitchell Martin AKA Community Patrol. Filming their 7 episode documentary* on the YouTube channel Mr Box, the series showed the brothers going through their rigorous training regime, detail their passion for KFC and Ninjas, connect with the local community and tackle crime in the area. CommunityAd caught up with both Rodney and Mitchell who were able to tell us about their humble beginnings and long term plans for Community Patrol… When did you both realise you were destined to be Community Patrol officers? Rodney - Our Nan always said we were both born with an abnormal amount of strength. Apparently Mitchell managed to fight his way out of the hospital bed over to the vending machines within a few hours of being born, and I was born with a sort of super human level of combat skill that I’d use to fight away my Nan when she would try to change my nappy. We knew from the second we opened our eyes that we needed to use these skills for the greater good. Mitchell - You could say we are kind of like modern day ninjas with a subtle dash of Kane and The Undertaker from WWE. We didn’t just decide to become Community Patrol. We had no choice. With our elite strengths and supreme skill sets, it would have been a crime not to put them to good use.
What would you say have been your most memorable moments so far as Community Patrol officers? Mitchell - That would be when we successfully apprehended a drug dealer. Weed is illegal and selling it is even more illegal. I basically jumped out of a bush and ninja’d him into the ground. He literally didn’t know what hit him, it was like Vin Diesel physically overpowering a little old blind and deaf man, but in a good way. Rodney - Mine is probably when Dwayne ran away from the doggers, I always knew he was a massive weakling but this finally confirmed it for everyone to see. Other than KFC, what are your go-to places in Thanet? Mitchell - Cex, Grumpy Goblin, and Time and Space are places we religiously attend. You could pretty much find us at either one of them any day of the week. Oh, and Trade Station too, that place probably has the best collection of ninja paraphernalia in the world if I’m honest. Rodney - Couldn’t have said it better myself. What advice would you give to someone looking to offer the service of Community Patrol like you do? Mitchell - Well, we are the best at what we do, so you’re probably better off just joining us. We do accept new recruits if you can prove you have what it takes, just message us on our Instagram page @community_patrol Rodney - I’d probably say just give up. Unless you are ready to literally walk into a lions cage and rip its heart out with your bare hands, and then get a GP to surgically exchange it with your own heart, and then go and put it back into the lion as if nothing ever happened... you probably don’t have what it takes to do Community Patrol.
