CULTURAL YOUTH WORK pca ot work youth special
Duck Patrol
The street patrol, begun in 1993, derived its name from a car rear window. The vehicle in question had just been Ankkarock's maintenance car, and somebody had written the word "Ankka", "Duck" on the dirty window. "Duck" became first the patrol's nickname and later its of- ficial name. The logo, still used today, was drawn by a then-10-year-old youngster.
The Duck Patrol consists of special youth workers, youth workers, and trained volunteers. Any young person, parent, official, or anybody concerned about a young person's behavior can call the Duck Patrol. The employees visit schools and youth houses to inform about their activities. Upon request, they will also speak at various events and, for instance, PTA meetings.
