Crossing Guards are staffed by All City Management Services. There are currently nine crossing locations in the city.
To be certified, the prospective School Crossing Guard must attend a total of eight hours of training.
- Four hours of classroom instruction is conducted by a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) certified trainer.
- A two-hour in-the-field instruction session at a real or simulated intersection without children present must be accomplished.
- The final two hours is an on-site observation by a certified trainer at the guard’s primary post.
- Potential guards must pass the final test with a minimum score of 75.
- Candidates are also required to take a pre-employment physical to determine if they meet the requirements of the job.
All crossing guards are retrained on an annual basis to ensure that they still meet the qualifications of the position.
