First School Safety Patrol in America
On May 24, 1916
the Newark Board of Education
on the recommendation of
Charles A. MacCall, Supervisor of Attendance
and
Felix Dunn of the Newark Police Department
established the first School Safety Patrol in our nation.
Patrol members through their continuous service
have practiced and taught safety
thus initiating standards that have lasted through the years
attaining national adoption.
