So, is becoming a crossing guard on your mind?
Pinellas County has a shortage of crossing guards this year, with about 130 guards for 184 posts at elementary and middle schools. One high school also is covered. This started as a volunteer program of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, but now guards are paid. The shifts are two hours a day and pay $23.69 total. Crossing guards, like other employees of the Sheriff's Office, must pass a polygraph test and a background screening. Guards must attend a six-hour training session and two hours of field training, which is then followed by three days of field training at the assigned post. Anyone interested in applying can contact coordinator Sharon Lough at (727) 582-5641.
