Officer Denis Lopez has made a such an impact in the community by building bridges with the kids through sports and education. In today's society Police Officers have been torn down and been given such a bad name that communities have rioted in protest. The fact that a community is actually standing up and defending a Police Officer is such an amazing feat in its own.
The idea that Tampa Police Department is re-assigning him means only one thing.....they do not care about the kids in the community. These kids have been mentored and given a voice by Officer Denis Lopez. Let Tampa Police Department know that their decision is a devastating one to the community and that their actions have caused a negative impact on the kids.
If you believe that Officer Denis Lopez is the right Police Officer at the Tampa Police Athletic League please sign and prove to the Tampa Department that communities can have faith in the Police.

I met Officer Denis Lopez three years ago at Pal and he has been a great role model to me and my family. He has helped me and my family more than I can ever repay. When I think of Pal I think of Denis. Please bring him back!!!!
I've known officer lopez for more than 25 years, and he is a great role model both at work and at home. My son attended PAL for two summers, and keeps asking to go back. Officer lopez has been instrumental in the mentoring of many kids, and should remain at PAL.
Keeping consistency and building trust between the officers and students is important. It makes the students feel the officers are human, and not just there on bad days. Please don't reassign the officer.
He is an amazing asset to PAL. Extremely dedicated. Made the football program what it is today. I remember the night before the first game he was out on the field till 3am getting the field ready. He is great with the kids. He has devoted his life for them and PAL.
Please keep Denis Lopez assigned to PAL. He has made such an incredible positive impact in both of my son's lives. Removing him will break the hearts of the children and their families.
Best coach in the world
He's such a great coach , he taught me how to do things he helped me when I wasnt feeling good,he stands up for others and he's an amazing person

My son spent three years at PAL summer camp. He's been to others and this was his favorite because of Officer Dennis Lopez! He took his time and patience with my child, whom has ADHD, and taught him how to be a respectful young man. Officer Lopez is a perfect fit for this program. I can't thank him enough for all he has done.
