Last month, members of our team attended an awards ceremony in Dover, DE, where Officers Alexander Schmitt and Donald Dobson were honored for their outstanding actions on-site. Officer Schmitt received a Lifesaving Award for administering CPR to a member of the community, demonstrating a quick response and immense professionalism in a critical situation. Officer Dobson successfully prevented an individual from trespassing on-site, safely deterring them and contacting local law enforcement. Their decisive actions reflect a profound commitment to safety and the high standards upheld across the entire Sunstates team.

Sunstates Security was honored to serve as the Presenting Sponsor for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation New York Golf Classic held on May 4. The day was a meaningful blend of camaraderie on the greens and a celebratory dinner, all centered around a profound sense of appreciation and remembrance. The most impactful moment of the evening was the presentation of the Hero-to-Hero Award, honoring the family of fallen FDNY Firefighter Patrick Brady.

The day’s success was made possible by the efforts of John Rafferty, who served as chair; his leadership and organization were instrumental.

Sunstates BDMs Michael Reidy and Michael Dorfman were also in attendance, showing their support.

Another first-time award was given at our Leadership Conference: National Account Manager of the Year. Congratulations to David Rosser!

Dave, a dedicated member of the Sunstates Security team for five years, was selected for his transformative leadership in 2025, overseeing 29 sites across nine states and nearly 7,000 weekly service hours. Leveraging his distinguished background as a U.S. Secret Service Special Agent, Dave has revolutionized service delivery through data-driven initiatives, including truck-volume analytics to optimize staffing and the implementation of a sophisticated incident reporting tool that provides the client with custom, actionable intelligence.

Beyond his technical expertise in leading complex site mergers and security assessments, Dave’s "people-first" approach has led to 100% client satisfaction scores and significant improvements in officer retention through competitive wage increases and the addition of an extra paid holiday. A dedicated mentor to other leaders within the organization, Dave’s commitment is best reflected in his personal touch, from visiting sites on holidays to fostering a culture of excellence that has directly resulted in life-saving actions by his team.

Great job, Dave! Your hard work is truly appreciated, and we are proud to have you as part of our team.
