Army Commendation Medal, Operation Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn Prior Experience: Systems Engineer Palm Beach Gardens, FL: A G4S Officer is being honored for the work he did, after his shift was over, to capture a wanted felon who eluded police for several hours. The suspect crashed his car after midnight near the Eastpointe Community, escaping on foot and forcing law enforcement agencies, K-9 units and air patrols to search throughout the night. The suspect, who was considered extremely dangerous, remained at large when G4S Officer Michael Marino was leaving his shift the next morning. While driving home, Marino stopped to see why two motorists were out of their car on the roadside. The two people told Marino they saw a man in the bushes who they suspected was the wanted CPO Performs Lifesaving CPR, Student Saved felon. The suspect then appeared from the thick brush and pulled a knife on the three men. One of the motorists, who is a retired NYPD officer, simply drew his firearm and encouraged the suspect to drop the knife. Officer Marino handcuffed him until police arrived. G4S West Palm Beach General Manager Ed Rodriguez said, “It would have been much easier for Officer Marino to drive by the motorists since he was headed home and tired after a long night at work. But his actions displayed great courage and commitment to protecting the residents of the Eastpointe Community. We congratulate Officer Michael Marino.” Residential Security Team Honored by Local Police Force Palm Beach Gardens, FL: The G4S safety and security team members at a residential community are being recognized by the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department for their quick work and professional response when residents called to say a suspicious man was seen running away from parked cars in their driveways.

The G4S team was put on alert because an aircraft transporting the 143 foreign national criminal detainees was grounded because of bad weather. The aircraft was diverted to nearby Mesa Airport but no alternate transportation plan had been anticipated and the team was called to assist with a contingency plan. Sgt. Kirkbride and his team immediately met with ICE and formulated a plan for removing the criminal detainees using ground transportation. The G4S team ultimately assumed control and custody of the detainees and safely and securely transported them to the Deconcini Port of Entry at Nogales, Arizona where the detainees were then repatriated to Mexico. These Officers exemplify the devotion to duty and country that so many of our employees exhibit and every day. They are a credit to G4S.

As he was ready to leave, he answered a phone call from his G4S office. The caller explained that G4S Sgt. Ronald Lacey had not reported to work at his regular post that day. Instead of continuing with his vacation plans, Spivie decided to find out what happened to Lacey. He knew something was wrong because Lacey had not missed a day of work in years. So acting on his hunch, Spivie drove to Lacey’s home where building management escorted him to the officer’s residence. There, they found Lacey on the floor unable to communicate; he had suffered a brain aneurysm. He was immediately taken to the hospital where doctors performed emergency brain surgery. Doctors said if Spivie had not discovered Sgt. Lacey so quickly, he most definitely would have died immediately from the catastrophic brain bleed. Unfortunately, Lacey passed away months later because of health complications. Remember that vacation that Spivie had planned? It never happened because he took his support for his co-worker one step further: he stayed in Albany to cover the shifts left open by Sgt. Lacey while he was in the hospital. Congratulations to G4S Officer of the Year Edward Spivie for his role in extending the life of his co-worker and displaying dedication professionalism and integrity in the process.

Postcard from Las Vegas Greetings from Nevada QA and Q A with General Manager Tom Harper, who has been with G4S for 24 years What are some things that have helped your office succeed? What is the best way to keep G4S clients happy in Las Vegas? Pick up the phone and call. I don’t use email to handle problems or to communicate important things. And I always remember that just because I haven’t heard from a client, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re happy and satisfied with our service. So, I make it my business to talk to our customers on a regular basis. Q A What makes a good G4S security officer in Las Vegas? Our officers and supervisors here are outstanding, let me start with that. We think part of our success comes from our superior training. Initially, officers are trained in classrooms with instructors, but over time, we will cross-train our officers, so they can work in a variety of locations. It provides assurances to our clients that if they need additional security officers or have an emergency, we will always have a well-trained officer available for their specialized business environment. Q A Number of G4S Officers: 530+ Office Locations: Las Vegas and Reno I always go on sales calls with my Manager of Business Development, Bonnie Beauregard. That way our clients know who will be personally standing behind their relationship with G4S. I then work to deliver more than what was promised to our clients as a way to develop trust. Internally, I have learned it’s best to stay away from being involved in the little things. I like to delegate and let people do their jobs, but hold them accountable. We all win when people succeed. Q A Expanding the Resiliency of Nevada Business Business Sectors Served: Residential Communities, Retail Centers, Commercial Real Estate, Mining, Tourism, Public Transportation, Hospital and K-9 Services G4S, the Nevada Difference: Las Vegas and Reno offer more than a great place to vacation. It is a great place to live, work and grow a business. Our G4S Custom Protection Division has a very strong presence in the Nevada marketplace. With our seasoned management team, we operate and support more than 22,000 weekly hours of business across this great state. G4S Mission for our Nevada Clients: Our Nevada team is focused on providing quality service. Because we focus on quality, we have been consistently rewarded by customer loyalty and long term relationships. In Nevada, everything we do is a matter of pride in customer service; pride in ownership; pride in caring and respecting our clients; and fellow team members. CPO Sean Wilson is an integral part of the G4S Las Vegas team. As a Custom Protection Officer®, his training and education make him a leader in the security field. CPO Sean Wilson holds a degree in Criminal Justice from UNLV. G4S CPO Sean Wilson How do you showcase the G4S difference to prospective clients? I like to invite customers into our offices to meet the team, see our G4S operations, watch some live instructor-led training, see the backgrounds of some officers and then encourage them to do the same with our competitors before making a decision to do business with G4S. “ Kent-Chauncey Lindsey is a G4S USO in Las Vegas. He joined the team in Nevada after working for G4S Hawaii for several years. He says, “I’m having a lot of fun doing this work. Great people to work with. Aloha” As a leader, part of my job is to inspire the people around me to push them and, in turn, G4S will achieve greater success. ” –Tom Harper, General Manager G4S USO Kent-Chauncey Lindsey 9 Financial Instutions Celebrating Service in May 2013, June 2013 Joseph Terry Virginia John Joseph Clyde Janet Matthew Kevin Eric Ronald Bernice Hazel Olando Terrell Jessie Rosa John Johnathan Fernando Darmaine Roberto Gilberto Karren Kevin Francisco Kamilah Tekina Reginald Fernando John Pedro Angel Kenneth Paul Peter David James Michael Charles Linda Nicholas Judith Faysal Sheldon Keith Judith Alyssa Gerald David Michael Robin Jacen Jason Roger Robert George George Arnaldo Lisa Rudolph Joseph Jose Rafael Samuel Krisendat Alpha Miriam Lisa Nilda Earnest Jean Andrew Kymberly Anthony James Vicky Angela Mary Thomas Andrew Anthony Adam Gary Thomas Sandra David Ronald Arthur Michael Latoya Edward Bradley James William William Kurt Ryan Kevin Oswin William Agron Joseph Allen Ramiro Robert Craig Rizaldo Lawrence Bonnie Scott Betty Jessica Christopher Ben Larry Louis Travis Aljermard Bobby Hugh Debra Joyce Patrick Linen Zachary Jason Christopher Richard Daniel Gene Kenneth Mitchell John Alphonzo James Lynn Edward Sherrie Brenden 10 Glenn Milby Phieler Pierce Shade Thacker Wilkerson DeHaan Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville Louisville Lower Alloways Creek, NJ Plourde Maine Braceros Maui Cool Maui Traxler Maui Allen Memphis Holt Memphis Howard Memphis Johnson Memphis McPherson Memphis Scott Memphis Watkins Memphis Alvarado-Molina Miami Asberry Miami Caamano Miami Camacho Miami Clarke Miami Duncan Miami Espinoza Miami Fuller Miami Martin Miami McCoy Miami Mustiga Miami Parker Miami Pena Miami Perez Miami Thompson Miami Courchane Milwaukee Craven Milwaukee Dollhopf Milwaukee Dwiggins Milwaukee Grabek Milwaukee Jones Milwaukee Reince Milwaukee Welch Milwaukee Wick Milwaukee Abdi Minneapolis Beilke Minneapolis Britson Minneapolis Cass Minneapolis Gabrielson Minneapolis Williams Minneapolis Batt Nashville Graulau Nashville Hanserd Nashville Hessey Nashville Huskey Nashville Kelly Nashville Owens Nashville Sanchez Nashville Washington New Orleans Alvarez New York City Crawford New York City Creswell New York City Davies New York City Diaz New York City Garcia New York City Ginn New York City Harinarain New York City Joseph New York City Ortiz New York City Rios New York City Sanchez New York City Blanchard Norfolk Denis Norfolk Ellis Norfolk Madison Norfolk Anderson Oklahoma Goolsby Oklahoma Johnson Oklahoma Ooten Oklahoma McCarty Omaha O’Hanlon Omaha Tulson Omaha Weathers Omaha Bundy Ontario, NY Jones Ontario, NY Rinaldo Ontario, NY VerStraete Ontario, NY Alves Orlando Carl Orlando Carver Orlando Ellis Orlando Griggs Orlando Stewart Orlando Vaughan Orlando Wilson Orlando Bowman Pensacola Powell Pensacola Winchenbach Pensacola Bechtelheimer Philadelphia Finn Philadelphia James Philadelphia Uhl Philadelphia Vata Philadelphia Kramer Phoenix Lacson Phoenix Lazaro Phoenix Manuma Phoenix Mickelson Phoenix Orola Phoenix Shoop Phoenix Simmons Phoenix Miller Pittsburgh Davis Portland Mateer Portland Nielsen Portland Sorensen Portland Walker Portland Bruno Raleigh Chasten Raleigh Clyburn Raleigh Davenport Raleigh Hedrick Raleigh Knowles Raleigh Parrott Raleigh Reid Raleigh Wright Raleigh Anderson Red Wing Christiansen Red Wing Gustafson Red Wing Mamer Red Wing Strauss Red Wing Tubbs Red Wing Walter Red Wing Woodwick Red Wing Martin Reno Bruce Richmond Knight Richmond Lowry Richmond O’Connell Richmond Arrowood Riverside DeAtley Riverside G4S Bank Officer Follows, IDs Suspect for Police Tampa, FL: Bank Protection Officer Al Dedow is being honored for his quick actions that helped Tampa Police arrest a bank robbery suspect.

Wounded Warrior Wounded Warrior, G4S Officer Receives Service Recognition Tucson, AZ: It was a trip that included a drive of more than 12 hours and 850 miles, but time and distance that didn’t matter to G4S General Manager John Zurcher and CPO Captain Henry Jones. They were on a special trip to a military hospital in San Antonio, Texas from their office in Arizona and nothing would have kept the two from their mission to recognize G4S CPO David C. Baldenegro. Baldenegro is hospitalized and recovering from injuries he received in Afghanistan. The two men say they were honored to make the trip to honor Baldenegro and present him with a G4S Patriot Award. (L to R) Valerie and David Baldenegro, G4S GM John Zurcher and CPO Captain Henry Jones CPO Baldenegro was called to active duty with the U.S. Army Combat Engineers and deployed to Afghanistan in 2012.

Safety G4S Joins Top Safety Program Morris, IL: G4S has now been accredited as an OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) participant at two client locations in the Midwest bringing G4S Safety Programs there to the highest levels available in the U.S. The OSHA VPP program takes safety programs beyond basic compliance emphasizing management accountability for worker safety and health; continual identification and elimination of hazards; and active involvement of employees in their own protection. (Standing L to R) Client Security Coordinator John Grimmenga; Client Account Manager Margaret (Marty) Frost; and G4S Team Leader/Site VPP Director Kyler Hosanna; (Seated L to R) G4S Chicago GM, William O’Brien and Regional Director Safety & Health, G4S North America Frank Knapfel Frank Knapfel, Regional Director Safety & Health, G4S North America says, “This is a true commitment to safety with our clients. It means G4S at these locations will place significant reliance on cooperation and trust inherent in the partnership needed for effective worker protection.” As part of the VPP program, G4S Safety Managers and Directors are commitment to establishing and maintaining OSHA compliance, reviews and evaluations, and accident investigations in a timely manner. The program also calls for orientation and training all employees to support the VPP program. “VPP sites must demonstrate a high degree of management support and employee involvement before being approved as a participant,” said Knapfel. “So at these two locations, it is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts by G4S safety managers to continually achieve exemplary occupational safety and health programs.” At the two G4S locations, employee input and feedback are encouraged, so safety and health deficiencies are identified and corrected as they arise and employees are involved in the continuous improvement cycle of the safety and health environment. ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? Did You Know? Recent data show VPP worksite injuries, illnesses and restrictions are dramatically below industry averages. ? ? As a result, VPP worksites have saved more than a ?BILLION dollars ?? since the program began in 1982. ?
