British School Crossing Patrol Cap Badge

The British School Crossing Patrol Cap Badge is a distinctive item issued to members of school crossing patrols, commonly known as “lollipop men” or “lollipop ladies” in the United Kingdom. This badge is typically constructed from metal and features the official insignia associated with school crossing patrol services, such as a central disc with bold lettering and an emblem indicating its authority. Often worn on peaked caps, the badge serves both a practical and symbolic purpose, identifying the wearer as an official responsible for the safety of children at pedestrian crossings near schools. The design and construction may vary depending on period and region, but the badge remains an important piece of uniform for these civilian safety personnel. Collectors of British uniforms and civil service memorabilia value such badges for their historic significance and role within community safety programs throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
