Thank you to these team members across the country who recently prevented/stopped thefts at their sites. Officer Jonathan David of the Savannah region helped stop bike thieves. He received information about two stolen bikes and a description of the individuals suspected of the theft, which occurred earlier that day. Officer David located the suspects while actively patrolling the campus and surrounding community. He contacted the campus security operations center, which contacted local law enforcement to respond, make arrests, and return the stolen property. The client personally thanked Officer David for his response and commitment. Officer Raven Hendrickson of the Cincinnati region deterred metal theft at the site when a semi-driver reported to the wrong location. Officer Hendrickson sent him on his way, but as he was leaving, the driver stopped and began transferring material from the site’s scrap metal bin to the back of his trailer. Officer Hendrickson informed the man that he could not take the metal, but he spoke very little English. She quickly called a supervisor to help the driver understand that he was committing theft and that needed to remove the metal from his truck, or the authorities would be called. She received an Employee Appreciation Card for her professional handling of the situation.
Supervisor Teri Ramsuer of the Roanoke region retired from Sunstates after nearly 17 years of loyal service. She served 16 years at the same site location. She was hired as a Security Officer in June 2007 and was promoted to Site Supervisor in January 2019. Teri was beloved by Sunstates and client leadership alike. Her dedication was rare and unrivaled. Sunstates and the client partner thanked Teri with a farewell dinner, where she was recognized for her service. We wish Teri all the best in her retirement.

Charlotte’s Regional Trainer, Don Berry has been a huge support in transitioning sites across the country. Most recently, he spent time in our newer Seattle market. Regional Director Joel Forbes stated, “Don has been a regular helping hand on large startups, always making himself useful and being highly productive. When asked to help lead the Seattle startup, which involved a large client in a brand-new region, Don not only volunteered to help but volunteered to stay in Seattle for two months and be the in-market lead until the new Regional Manager arrived. Don's leadership has kept the startup ahead of schedule and allowed us to send resources to other markets instead of Seattle. I could not be more thankful and proud for what the team has done under Don's leadership.” We appreciate your dedication Don, and we’re looking forward to you assisting with our next big startup!
