I believe dkokelley meant could the police achieve the same result or does their _police_ uniform cause a response among the drinking public that the street pastor uniform does not.
In my experience working in the ambulance service, there is a threshold of aggro above which the police struggle to de-escalate (but can still overpower). I can&#x27;t say if street pastors can do any better as I haven&#x27;t worked alongside them.
