St. Cloud Police Department provides crossing guards the training and resources in order to safely and adequately assist the children in our city. Crossing guards attend an approved eight hour Department of Transportation course which outlines training and safety requirements to be used during the course of their shift.

Crossing Guard Performance

The crossing guards are outfitted with reflective vests and traffic stop signs to allow them to easily be seen while in the performance of their duties.  Crossing guards are required to have patience and a keen eye for safety issues.  The position is part-time and allows for the crossing guard to work mornings and afternoons at an assigned post.  They are valued employees who are critical in assisting our children when crossing the roadways safely to and from school.
