Hosts say city is seeking crossing-guard recruits as staffing falls short
Summary
Hosts on the Herriman Events program said the city is short of crossing guards and urged residents to consider substitute shifts, noting morning shifts run about 30–60 minutes and afternoons about 36 minutes; presenters said the program is currently "desperate" for applicants.
Unidentified Speaker 1, a presenter on the Herriman Events program, said the city needs more crossing guards to help children get to school safely and described openings as a short, flexible way to earn extra money. "We need crossing guards of the city," the speaker said, adding that crossing guards are part of the police department and that shifts are brief: "It's 30 to 60 minutes in the morning, 36 minutes in the afternoon."
The co-presenter, identified in the transcript as Unidentified Speaker 2, confirmed those details and said the city is recruiting substitutes who can pick the days they work and opt out during bad weather. "We need people, we need — we're desperate right now honestly, so we need some bodies," the co-presenter said, urging listeners to consider the openings.
Hosts framed the roles as both a community service and a modest-paying, flexible job that suits people who can work short windows around school start and dismissal times. They noted substitutes are an initial hiring path and repeated that availability and willingness to work in inclement weather are factors in scheduling.
The program did not provide specifics on how to apply, the number of openings, pay rates, or which police department unit manages hiring; those details were not specified in the transcript. The segment ended with an appeal for applicants and a reminder that the shifts are short and can be scheduled selectively.
