AAA SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL

IN THE SCHOOLS

For more than 100 years, the AAA School Safety Patrol has been the world’s largest school-based safety program. Patrollers around the world provide school-aged children an extra sense of safety and security during the school day’s busiest times: arrival and dismissal. As a peer-to-peer leadership development program, Safety Patrols are trained to recognize safety hazards to create a safer school environment. The presence of a AAA School Safety Patroller wearing the familiar belt & badge is a nationally recognized symbol representing more than 679,000 children throughout the country who participate in the program each year. Former famous Safety Patrollers include President Joe Biden; Olympic Gold Medalists, Caitlyn Jenner and Edwin C. Moses; and former Chairman Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocoa.
