The point of the safety program is to maintain a sense of control. Children are thought to behave themselves when they know a goody-goody safety is watching. They are aware that the "safety" will completely taddle their little pants off without thinking twice or give a written warning.
What distinguishes the "safety" from other students is a band of fluorescent, orange plastic which wraps around the waist and diagonally across the chest. A silver or gold badge of some sort is pinned to the band draped across the chest. These badges are of different colors to show rank.
The job of a school safety is to make sure the other students are behaving whenever adults aren't looking.
School Safety: Please walk
Student: Sorry!
(Student whispers to classmate)
Student: That safety better not tell our teacher I was running!
Classmate: What a nerd... NARK!!
