Curtis Sliwa contends that government inaction necessitated the creation of the Guardian Angels to protect communities through self-help.

“We believe in self-help. We think more communities have got to be reliant on themselves because government, they're a dollar short and a day late.”

Every individual has a guardian angel present with them that assists in the fulfillment of the purpose God has called them to.

“every single person I see has a personal angel with them that's walking alongside them carrying something that has to do with with the purpose that God's called them to.”
