Happy 70th Anniversary to the Davenport Adult Crossing Guards!
An enormous shout out and thank you to all the Davenport Adult Crossing Guards who have kept children safe on their way to school for the past 70 years.

Other school cross walks might have had school children as crossing guards. The problems with these early solutions were the police officers having to leave the cross walks to answer emergency police calls which left the children to cross unsupervised. The other issue was children were hard to see when helping other children to cross which lead to many near accidents.
