THE STORY OF KEEPRS
On January 29th, 1996, St. Joseph, MN Police Officer Brian Klinefelter, age 25, stopped a vehicle believed to be involved in a robbery that had just occurred in a neighboring city. During the traffic stop, Officer Klinefelter was shot several times and died. Officer Klinefelter left behind his beloved wife, Wendy, and two-month old daughter Katelyn.
Three years later, Wendy and Officer Klinefelter’s two brothers Jason and Greg opened a law enforcement store in the same community Officer Klinefelter served. They named the store K.E.E.P.R.S., Inc. (Klinefelter’s Enforcement & Emergency Product, Resource & Supply, Inc.). Their purpose for opening the store was to serve all law enforcement officers that serve our communities. As customers enter the St. Cloud store, they can view Officer Klinefelter’s duty belt and badge in a showcase displayed to keep his memory alive. We invite you to visit the store in St. Cloud, Minnesota, if you have the opportunity.
Wendy, Jason, and Greg made it their mission to provide high quality uniforms and duty gear while offering exceptional customer service. Their experience supports their efforts. Wendy graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice, has numerous years of experience in retail sales, and now is the President of KEEPRS. Both Greg and Jason were reserve officers with the St. Cloud Police Department. Greg is now finishing his law enforcement schooling to follow in his Brian’s footsteps, and Jason travels northern Minnesota as an Account Manager for KEEPRS. Together with our staff of over 20 people, and two Minnesota locations, we deliver great products with exceptional service, and are grateful that you have chosen to visit our website. Thank you for all that you do, and for the opportunity to earn your business.
