At our Annual Leadership Conference in June, we were fortunate to have Alden Mills as our keynote speaker. He delivered an inspiring message and hung around after signing copies of his book, Unstoppable Mindset: How to Use What You Have to Get What You Want. Alden, a three-time Navy SEAL platoon commander, CEO of an Inc. 500 company, Division I athlete, top-ranked public speaker, and author, engaged in productive discussions with our company leaders about goal achievement, teamwork, and inspiring leadership. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to visit Raleigh and deliver such an impactful closing keynote. #Leaders #Leadership #Keynote #Security #SecurityTeam #SecurityCompany #SecurityServices

Kudos to the Sunstates team that delivered a smooth transition ahead of schedule. When Sunstates took over security at a site in Batavia, Ohio, they faced an unexpected challenge: the previous security company pulled out a day early. Operations Manager Robert Allen promptly informed the team and took the necessary steps to have all personnel and equipment on-site within a few hours. Business Development Manager Shaun Root was also on-site to assist with getting everything up and running. It was an all-hands-on-deck situation with a successful outcome, and the client was very appreciative.

Last month, Officers Jose Valadez and Lucio Raymondo of the Dallas region received multiple calls about an individual holding a gun in the parking lot on-site. Without any hesitation, the officers immediately responded by contacting the off-duty officer on campus and notified 911. Upon seeing our officers, the subject ran back to his vehicle and left the property. Fortunately, our officers were vigilant and took down a detailed description of the subject along with his vehicle license plate number and make and model to provide to the police. Due to our officer's response and the information provided, Law Enforcement was able to take the subject into custody without incident. Your excellent attention to detail and precise actions lead to a positive outcome. We’re grateful to have you both on the team. #GreatWork #SecurityOfficers #SecurityServices #SunstatesSecurity #SecurityTeam #Team #Security #CorporateSecurity #GoingAboveAndBeyond #SecurityPersonnel #SecurityCompany #Dallas #DallasBusiness

Greetings from California! Regional Director Andrew Morey, QM, visited sites with goodies for his hard-working team. First, Andrew met with Post Captain William Jones. Although he’s only been with Sunstates for a few months, he has been instrumental in assisting with starting a new site. Welcome to the team, William; we’re excited to see your future successes! Next, Andrew visited the third shift team at a site in Rialto, CA, and brought them donuts to show his appreciation. Joshay Rosales, on the left, has been with Sunstates since January 2022 and always comes to work with a smile on her face. Esperanza Gomez just celebrated her one-year work anniversary in March and is an excellent asset to the team. #Leadership #GreatWork #SecurityOfficers #SecurityServices #SunstatesSecurity #SecurityTeam #Team #Security #CorporateSecurity #SecurityPersonnel #California #CaliforniaBusiness #RialtoCA

While in New York, CEO Denis Kelly and COO Robert Rogalski visited several sites in the area. The local management team, including Regional Manager Juan Isales and Operations Manager Eileen Poole, introduced them to many individuals who are known for providing excellent consumer service, working well as a team, taking pride in their job, keeping the environment safe, and consistently receiving great feedback from the clients. It’s always great when our company leaders can express their gratitude for all they do in person. #Leadership #GreatWork #SecurityOfficers #SecurityServices #SunstatesSecurity #SecurityTeam #Team #Security #CorporateSecurity #SecurityPersonnel #NewYork #NewYorkBusiness
