Every Wednesday morning and afternoon Jerry Montagne can be found working as a crossing guard, escorting children safely to and from school at Washington Elementary. Serving as a crossing guard isn’t part of his duties as McPherson County Sheriff, rather he does it because he enjoys it. “About three years ago they had a shortage of crossing guards and officers were having to fill in,” Montagne said. “I offered to do it and I love it. I look forward to seeing all the kids each week.” Montagne is one of many crossing guards employed by the city and supervised through the McPherson Police Department.
