Editing Youth Guard (section)

===Distribution===
The Youth Guard is distributed across North America, with Youth Guard offices built into 15-20 of the largest PRT departments. The rest of the Youth Guard is mostly itinerant, setting up in areas on a temporary basis in order to monitor things. These itinerants tend to follow media attention — often negative — regarding PRT and hero teams.<ref name=":2">'''Location:''' Across North America.  Most of the 15-20 largest departments have Youth Guard offices built in, the rest of the YG are itinerant, setting up in areas on a temporary basis to monitor things.  This temporary settlement tends to follow media attention (often negative, for the PRT/hero teams).<br><br>Departments that frequently violate rules may have one or more Youth Guard resource officers permanently stationed adjunct to their staff.  If there are more than one, the number will depend on department size and the variety of the rule violations; each assigned YG officer will then focus on different departments and areas and then compare notes with their partner and the broader YG office.<br><br>Separate from the departments are many brand-focused offices, perpetuating the image of the Youth Guard, its logos and trademarks, and focusing on broader ‘awareness’, outreach, and running hotlines. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bFLkNlycuTmRJIECK2K5od_3nyPp0koTGmKyzg_CQVM/edit Organization: Youth Guard]</ref>

PRT departments that frequently violate the rules may have one or more Youth Guard resource officers permanently assigned to them. The number of resource officers assigned depends on the department's size and the variety of rule violations. Each assigned officer focuses in different areas, often comparing notes with one another and the broader Youth Guard office.<ref name=":2" />

The Youth Guard also has many separate brand-focused offices. They work to perpetuate the image of the Youth Guard, maintaining its logos and trademarks, and focusing on broader ‘awareness’, outreach, and running hotlines.<ref name=":2" />
