Search for the Holy Grail by Greg Bourlotos

This is an image of the "Chief" Badge used in some parts of New Jersey in the 50's and 60's. For some reason Passaic County, Essex countyand parts of Bergan county had a "Chief" of Patrol. The badges were NOT made by or for AAA, but each school had one made. The Chief assigned all special activity, like escorting a class to the museum or theater. The chief  checked all the posts including the Captain. He could reassign people and switch them around and he could make "subs" if needed. A "sub" was someone who helped out on the corner if one got busier and wore a belt BUT he didn't have a badge and was the same as someone filling in for a sick person and needed someone to watch his post.  He also represented the Patrol while the Captain and Lieutenant ran the daily happenings.Needless to say, any badge that has "Chief, School Safety Patrol" is a find and I would want it.
