Sunstates Security

On Wednesday night, Sunstates Security attended the Triangle Business Journal’s Fast 50 Award ceremony in Raleigh, NC. It was a wonderful night of recognizing companies that are making a significant impact in the Triangle. Companies were ranked based on their sustained year-over-year growth from 2021 to 2023. The selection process involved a rigorous evaluation, including the submission of a detailed written nomination and an in-depth interview with representatives from the sponsoring companies. CEO Denis Kelly accepted the award on behalf of Sunstates Security and thanked our dedicated team for their contributions to our success. We are grateful for the recognition and look forward to continued growth. Congratulations to all the other exceptional companies awarded, and thanks again to the TBJ for a great evening. #Raleigh #RaleighBusiness #NorthCarolina #NCBusiness #Award #BusinessJournal #FastGrowing #Growth #CompanyGrowth #Security #SecurityCompany #SecurityTeam #CorporateSecurity

Sunstates Security's central regions attended a quarterly leadership meeting that included over 60 team members from various states. During this event, Chrissy Glenn presented on topics such as Situational awareness, Criminal Activity Prevention, and Awareness of Parking Lots. We also had Senior Operations Manager Jason Burton go over lead-by-example skills and share many photos of our team in the field. Bravo to these two Nashville team members who had special shoutouts during the meeting. Site Supervisor Ashley Judge was recognized for an employee referral during the leadership conference. We're always looking to add dependable team members. Photographed with Ashley are Regional Manager Vincent Gaetano and Operations Manager Carla Goolsby-Burandt.

Lots of great stuff coming from our team in New Jersey. Sunstates Security was honored to sponsor the BOMA New Jersey 2024 TOBY Awards Celebration in late October. Our Business Development Manager, Carol Lescas, had a wonderful time networking with industry professionals. Congratulations to all the award winners! Also, Regional Manager Michael Hando handed out Employee of the Month Awards for the Newark Region. Supervisor Awal Salifu: After completing Army Basic Training and joining the NJ National Guard, Awal seamlessly transitioned to his role at Sunstates. When his original site closed, he quickly adapted and took on a new leadership position. His commitment to excellence and ability to train new officers have been invaluable to our team. Officer Aaron Fernandez: In a short time, Officer Fernandez has made a significant impact. His prior experience in logistics and trucking has been instrumental in his success. His leadership skills and dedication to his team have earned him recognition as Officer of the Month for September and a well-deserved promotion to Site Supervisor. #GreatWork #SecurityOfficer #Security #SecurityCompany #SecurityTeam #SecuritySolutions #CorporateSecurity #SecurityServices #SecurityOfficers #Newark #NewarkBusiness #Networking

A doctor at one of our client hospitals in Bowling Green, Ohio, recently sent a letter commending two of our team members for their exceptional care and compassion in assisting a child with special needs. He stated, "It is with pleasure and gratitude that I am reaching out due to the amazing services that two of your security guards exemplified this afternoon and wanted to recognize them for going above and beyond what I would consider their normal duties. I had the wonderful opportunity to witness the handling of a situation that could have been much more difficult, but the two guards, Zach and Chase, handled it with ease and great kindness.  I wanted to take it upon myself to give recognition to these two young men, as I am sure that their services sometimes go unnoticed. It is truly wonderful to know we have security guards here always willing to rise to a challenging situation and handle it with the care needed. I thank them for their services to the hospital campus." Officer Chase Steffes and Supervisor Zachary Taylor were presented with challenge coins for their exceptional response from Operations Manager Robert Allen (photographed with them).
