AAA School Safety Patrollers are school-sponsored student volunteers from fifth grade. Patrollers direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in safety, patrollers teach other students about hallway and school campus safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as role models for younger children.

The AAA School Safety Patrol Program plays an important role in helping school students learn and fulfill a positive collaboration between peers, parents, schools and law enforcement. Patrollers may also serve other leadership functions under the direction of school officials, and promote positive character education. The AAA School Safety Patrol program has more than 679,000 Patrollers in 35,000 U.S. schools.

Owls keep, owls safe!
