Crossing Guards

Toronto Police Services would like to remind our community that school crossing guards are an important part of safe school zones. They are essential in ensuring that students are able to safely cross roads in designated intersections. Their job can be more difficult if parents and students do not follow their direction. 

When approaching an intersection with a crossing guard remember, please pay attention to the crossing guard when you are coming to and from school. 

It is also important to educate your child about the role of the crossing guard. For their safety, encourage them to cross at crosswalks with a crossing guard whenever possible. Teach your child to always stop and make eye contact with motorists before crossing a road to ensure the driver can see them.
