Meet our SRO!
Hello! My name is Officer Keith Arsenault. I am a 15 year veteran of the Kissimmee Police Department. This is currently the third school I have been assigned to as an School Resource Officer. My first school was Mater Palms Charter School. My second school was Osceola Science Charter School where I was assigned the whole year. I enjoy working with and being around the elementary school kids! I was the 2020 Knights of Columbus Kissimmee Police Department Hero of the Year for having saved the life of a 3-year-old boy while working in the Patrol Division. I have been awarded all of the highest awards the police department has to offer to include the Award of Valor, the Life Saving Award, and multiple unit citations as well as others. I have also been honored at the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Associations annual Patriot's Day awards ceremony where I was awarded an award for heroism and bravery.Officer Keith Arsenault #569Highlands Elementary School SROKissimmee Police Department
