During this Critical time in America we believe the School Resource Officer Program is more crucial than ever .To dismantle or reduce positions in this program would be a grave disservice to our children and our community. We believe this program is a bridge between Law Enforcement and children. This program  humanizes the badge allowing students to get to know officers in a positive manner and see first hand the police officers are real people.

Officer Winsell, known to many as OT has been working for St Peter school district for many years. He has spent countless hours building long lasting relationships with the students in this community. He has selflessly given himself to ensuring that we, as parents, can feel secure in knowing that our children are safe when we send them to school. OT has gone beyond keeping our children safe, he has been a shoulder to cry on, an encourager, motivator, father figurer, role model and friend. His training, experience and relationships he has with the students, parents and teachers gives him the ability to not only keep our schools safe but to make a difference and change lives.

Officer Winsell's position is being cut from the SRO Program which means something of GREAT value is being cut from our children's lives. It's hard to find people that we as parents trust with our children and harder to find a man Like OT that our children trust. 

Please sign this petition to keep Officer Winsell in our schools and investing in our children's lives.
