We Are Herriman - Kerilyn Bernhard

October 2019 Kerilyn Bernhard works for the Herriman Police Department as a Crossing Guard. In the last few weeks of last school year, Kerilyn noticed some particularly challenging hazards at a new crossing location caused primarily by a construction zone nearby. Kerilyn worked proactively with both the school and her supervisors to solve the issue and ensure the children walking in the area were not exposed to construction hazards. New signs and striping have also been installed to make the crossing safer. Because of her efforts, she was assigned full-time to that crossing, and continues to work with the contractors to ensure that equipment is not operating or obstructing the safe walking route during crossing time. She has even been seen using her own leaf blower to clear the asphalt path along the safe walking route. Kerilyn has been an active advocate for safety and has gone above and beyond her responsibilities to ensure the children walking at her crossing enjoy their walk to school safely!
