Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood Police Department has been experiencing unprecedented difficulty in hiring crossing guards for this school year, similar to the problem all other businesses are currently facing. Due to this shortage, we have needed to reallocate staffing in order to prioritize posts to those where the students have the most interaction with vehicles, such as on heavily traveled roadways. We are continuing to work diligently on hiring more crossing guards and hope to rectify this situation as soon as possible with the goal of returning to normal operations within a few weeks. As always, the Ridgewood Police Department’s primary concern is the safety of all of our residents and visitors, especially our children. If you are interested and available to become one of our crossing guards, please contact The Crossing Guard Company at 610-504-8764 or visit https://acmssafety.com/careers/ for more information.
Pay more money.
Atlas Shrugged.
I thought that we outsourced the crossing guards several years ago, so that we wouldn’t have this problem. The company said they would take care of everything. what happened?
$100 per day will get it done. Far better deal for Ridgewood vs paying $150k every 2 years to clean the RHS turf.
$180 a week before taxes, sign me up!
Exactly what happened, I’ll tell you what happened they outsourced that division. That’s what happens when you give up your power to an outside contractor your hands are tied. Now we are sending police officers at these locations which is a good thing because they’re trained they have the know how I look at the difference in cost. Right, I personally prefer police officers because they are experienced and have the power to give you a ticket for driving like an idiot around schools. Maybe we can use the parking officials and give them a stipendJust a thought.
