Peterson, who reportedly said he thought he did a “good job” during the shooting, was apparently Broward County Sheriff Parkland employee of the year and was nominated for Parkland Deputy of the Year.
He was named the city of Parkland’s school resource officer of the year for 2014, with a press release reportedly saying he had been the SRO at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School since 2009 and was praised for “handling issues with tact and judgement”.
It has also been suggested that Peterson had a run-in with Nikolas Cruz before the shooting. According to The Washington Post, the deputy is mentioned in a social services report, suggesting that he refused to share any information with them about an incident that took place with the teenager.
