We called them simply "safeties" during the 1950s. At our school, the uniform consisted of a red cardigan sweater along with the Sam Browne belt, but that was what passed for high visibility in those days. Also, seems to me that they also had some duties during the school days, perhaps monitoring "traffic" in the hallways, but then my memory is perhaps a bit fuzzy here.

Badge changes over the years

edit

It would be interesting to see a timeline of when certain changes were made to the AAA safety patrol badges, such as the change from School Boy Patrol to School Safety Patrol, the dropping of the title Patrolman because it sounds male, the drop in quality of the badges to save money, and the change to plastic badges looking like something from Star Trek, which I understand was to have them not look like police badges. There were earlier changes that I know little about. Radio Sharon (talk) 23:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

New York safety patrol program pre-dates Chicago and St. Paul programs

edit

New York City instituted school safety patrols in 1917, seemingly contradicting the claim that school safety patrols got their first start 3 years later in Chicago and Cleveland. See First School Safety Patrol. Fabrickator (talk) 00:20, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
