Why would something think to make that a thing? That's basically making a militia right there, which in 'a time of peace' no one would think to make. Vale was safe and adequately protected until Cinder showed her hand, there was nothing to suggest it needed a militia to protect it at all. The only threats it faced were the Grimm, which were well in hand with their walls and natural borders, and the standard Huntsmen taking missions. The White Fang. Sure, they still have target-preferences like the SDC, but still.

An at-least small group of people in different sectors of a city semi-banding together (acknowledging the risks) to improve security by fighting back when needed....that's not an alien idea, in fact people have done it in places with about as much security as V1-2 Vale. Militias can work on a local level, officially and unofficially.

Now, a bunch of Hunters-in-training recruiting people for that, that's more unrealistic and I'm pretty sure they would be more busy with other things pre and post Fall of Beacon.
