Meet John, one of the approximately 700 crossing guards tasked with keeping Toronto's children safe on their way to and from school. As civilian members of Toronto Police Services they must pass a vision test, a security check, have no criminal record and be physically fit to carry out their duties, plus they are expected to exhibit the force's core values of Honesty, Integrity, Fairness, Reliability, Respect, Teamwork, and Positive Attitude. While their primary duty is to safeguard elementary school students many, like John, prefer not to be so exclusive, helping adults and children alike make it across their busy intersections safely, exchanging some friendly words as they do so.
