The Patroller program allows youth to experience, first hand, responsibility and proper use of authority while working closely with teachers, police and other youth. Patrollers must be reliable, punctual and adhere to all rules and regulations. The Toronto Police Service organizes incentive events throughout the year to recognize the outstanding efforts of student safety patrollers and to provide additional motivation for students to volunteer their time and energy as patrollers. Highlights of the three day visit include visits to Parliament buildings, Aviation Museum, Science and Technology Museum, and the Governor General's House. Patroller Appreciation Night - Patrollers from Toronto attend a Patroller Appreciation Night at an indoor amusement centre.
Students have access to arcade games, go-carts, batting cages and mini golf.
At this training, captains receive training on crossovers, intersections, first aid, bus safety and fire safety. Patroller Picnics - In June, Patrollers from Toronto attend picnics where they can participate in games and sports for fun and prizes. Lunch and refreshments are provided. The program is an example of community policing at its best. Funding for the Safety Patroller program and incentive events is assisted by the Police Service, Pro Action and the Canadian Automobile Association.
