Being a School Safety Patrol Chief

The Patrol Chief is in charge of all coordination tasks, as well as being a resource and inspiration for the other patrollers. If you’re well organized, a strong team player and have safety at heart, supervising a Safety Patrol is a real joy. You will have to: 

• Choose which patrol(s) to set up and target the areas to be patrolled. 
• Recruit patrollers. 
• Organize training for patrollers. 
• Distribute yellow shoulder belts and make sure young patrollers wear them correctly. 
• Define work schedules and appoint replacements. 
• Motivate young people by monitoring their work and holding regular meetings. 
• Evaluate patrollers. 
• Reward the patrollers.
