1.       
   crossing guard, n. a person who stands at a street crossing to assist children to cross the street safely; -- usually used near schools during the times that children are entering or leaving the school.  Crossing guards may be employed by a municipality as auxiliary police officers, or may be unpaid volunteers.  Some wear uniforms, others do not.   They are commonly older citizens who are retired or not employed full-time at other tasks.  At some schools, older students from the school are trained to perform the function of crossing guards.
