Support Your Crossing Guard

Contact us about our Crossing Guard Pocket Guide, “Georgia’s Best Crossing Guard” story, and other materials that support and celebrate crossing guards!

Make sure your guard has the safety equipment they need to be safe. Crossing guards require (at a minimum) a high-visibility vest or outer wear and a 18″ or larger stop paddle. Guards also benefit from having high visilility gloves, a whistle and other equipment.
