In general, they are a group of individuals who provide an additional 
"uniformed presence" in the neighborhood.

The UCD [ University City District - 
http://www.universitycitydistrict.org ]
has a number of individuals variously on foot, bicycle and motor 
vehicle. They are termed "University City Ambassadors" since they are 
neither police nor intended to intervene as such.

They ARE radio equipped, however, and operate in conjunction with with 
the University of Pennsylvania Police (which are sworn officers).

http://www.universitycitydistrict.org/ucd_programs/public_safety.cfm
For some reason (I can guess about a dozen) the Philadelphia Police are 
no longer allowed to carry "jimmies" and to open locked cars for people 
with lost keys (aka lock-out service).

However, the UCD does offer a "lock-out" service, if you have lost your 
keys. You have to sign a waiver that the car really does belong to you 
AND provide "serious" identification, preferably vehicle registration 
and your driver's license.  Call 215 387 3942.

They can also provide "jump start" service.
Both services are available from 8am to 3am 7 days a week.

My hat's off to the Ambassador who jumpstarted me within 10 minutes of my 
call today -- after I had been unable to get past a busy signal for three 
hours at AAA! Man, was I glad to see that van pull up.
