HPD Seeking Crossing Guards, VIPs

 Highland Police Chief Ralph Potesta is looking for dedicated individuals who want to work alongside Highland police and help keep our community safe. “By all of us working together, the men and women who serve as members of our Volunteers in Policing and as paid School Crossing Guards are invaluable members of our public safety team,” Potesta said

Crossing Guard Candidates

Highland Police are seeking individuals at least 18 years old to dedicate about an hour twice a day to provide safe crossing for Highland schoolchildren. “We need those who would like to fill in at one of the six crossing locations when the regular crossing guards are not available,” Cmdr. John Banasiak said. “We rest easier because our crossing guards are watching out for our kids.” 

 

TO APPLY: Interested in becoming a crossing guard or substituting? Starting pay is $16 per hour. Applications are available at the Highland Police Department, 3315 Ridge Road. 

VIPS Candidates

It’s a volunteer position that comes with perks – training, a uniform and becoming part of the town’s public safety network. Being a VIPS member also offers an opportunity to have fun and make new friends. VIPs assist police officers by providing a variety of tasks, including: vacation home checks, assisting at community events, traffic patrols in residential/ business/park districts, funeral escorts, fingerprinting, filing, typing, even answering telephones. Tasks and assignments vary. All hours and shifts are available. 

 

TO APPLY: Click here to download an application or call Deputy Cmdr. Glenn Cox at (219) 838-3184. 


Snow rules help keep Highland streets safe

When snow and ice are in the forecast, Highland Public Works shifts into high gear – first with the road application of brine that is followed by salt. Plows pick up where salting ends. Public Works Director Mark Knesek said residents can help by getting their vehicles off the street.
