Student Resource Officer (SRO) David Reindl just started working at NW last week and has some things to share.

Q: How did you get to NW?
A: “I was in Overland Park and I was a resource officer there. I resigned there over the summer and took a different position for a finance company to try a different career path but that didn’t work. I wanted to come back to what I know,” Reindl said. “I came here. I have a lot of friends here that work in the district and I heard about the position here. It all worked out.”

Q: Why are you a Police Officer for the school system?
A: “I didn’t want to go back to a police department and have to work the streets, I’ve done enough of that. I found a school position and thats what I love doing,” Reindl said. “I love being a resource officer. With the school district i can do that and not worry about going back to work the streets.”

Q: What’s your biggest advice to high school students?
A: “Think about it before you act, because a lot of kids act impulsively and dont make the right decision and that gets them in trouble. If they thought for a split second before they acted, they would probably do the right thing,” Reindl said. “Some people just can’t do it, but most can. And listen to your parents. Thats a big thing. Some kids think they know it all.”
