For over 20 years, Sonny Melendrez has been the featured speaker at what has become the largest Annual Safety Patrol Rally in America, held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
As a young student, Sonny was a proud member of the Safety Patrol Program, coming through the ranks from Patolman to Captain.
He is introduced by popular KSAT 12 TV anchor and great friend, Steve Spriester.
Since 1920, the AAA School Safety Patrol Program has been instrumental in helping students get to and from school safely. As the program marks its 95th anniversary, Patrollers across North America and in 30 countries will take their post for another school year, wearing their familiar ‘Lectric Lime belt or vest.
“The AAA School Safety Patrol Program relies on student volunteers to assist their classmates at crossings, carpool areas and bus loading and unloading zones,” said AAA Traffic Safety Advocacy Project Manager Rhonda Shah. “Patrollers receive comprehensive training in the fundamentals of traffic safety, working, in many cases, with local law enforcement. They do not direct traffic, but they help students understand when it is safe to enter roadways,” Shah said.
The largest safety program in the world, the AAA School Safety Patrol Program has 635,000 Patrollers in 33,500 schools nationwide. The program has been praised by education and safety groups around the world for reducing injuries and fatalities among school children ages 5 to 14.
