• WGR-MO strongly supports Missouri’s School Protection Officers program. So, with improvements made to the already successful program this legislative session, we want to do our part to help educate and raise awareness of the SPO program among Missouri’s parents and schools. To that end, we will have Roger Moore of Peacekeepers Training on hand to provide attendees with an overview of MO’s SPO program and share why it’s a sound option for many of our schools.

    We also hope to arm attendees with a clearer understanding of the active shooter problem so that they can take it back to their districts and make better informed decisions regarding the safety policies and procedures implemented by our schools. It’s a must for anyone in a position to make decisions involving the safety of children. This is why we’ve invited Ed Monk to share his highly sought after training and expertise on this difficult subject.  You really can’t afford to miss it!
