Crossing guards face life-threatening dangers on the job

An investigation by The Associated Press and Cox Media Group Television Stations found that school crossing guards face dangerous conditions, with many injured or killed on the job. What’s more, data show that drivers who hit crossing guards often face minimal consequences, with a quarter charged criminally and nearly half getting traffic citations. Experts suggest solutions like smart crosswalk systems and better training. Despite the dangers, many crossing guards remain committed to their jobs.
