Safety Share – Elementary School Safety Patrol – August 2021

Did you know that the Safety Patrol program began in the U.S in 1920? AAA Exchange formed this organization over 100 years ago to give students an opportunity to serve their fellow classmates by helping to provide increased campus safety as they go to and from school. AAA provides lots of free resources to schools, such as guide books, videos and supplies to help your school build and maintain a successful Safety Patrol program.

A Safety Patrol Program requires school staff oversight and support. Safety Patrollers can only help with safety on campus. They should never be allowed to stop vehicles and cross students on campus without constant staff supervision and direction. Off campus safety is the responsibility of the city, police and crossing guards.

It is recommended that AAA Exchange be utilized to register and organize a program at your school. Website link:  AAA Safety Patrol Website
