Congratulations to Raymond Chapdelaine, our 2023 Court Security Officer of the Year from the District of Massachusetts!CSO Chapdelaine has been with Walden Security for 14 years, which combines with a 28-year law enforcement career as a Trooper, Sergeant and Lieutenant in the Massachusetts State Police. His calm, professionalism and unrelenting work ethic are important for the uncertainty that can come in the court security environment. He is a great example of what a CSO should be, taking tremendous pride in all his duties and assignments.

Congratulations to Jesse Menendez, our 2023 Court Security Officer of the Year from the Northern District of West Virginia! CSO Menendez is a model CSO, always exhibiting professionalism and a positive attitude.

Before joining Walden Security in 2017, CSO Menendez was with the Clarksburg City Police Department for 25 years. He was a Patrol Officer for 7 years, Corporal for 2 years, Sergeant for 7 years, promoted to Lieutenant, and retired as a Senior Lieutenant.

Congratulations to Shaponica Council, our 2023 Officer of the Year for Charlotte! Officer Shaponica Council, fondly known as Nikki, has been an integral part of the Walden Security team in Charlotte for the past three years, embodying courage, dedication and exemplary leadership.Nikki consistently prioritizes the safety and well-being of her colleagues. With a calm and composed demeanor, she navigates challenges, demonstrating quick thinking and resourcefulness. In one incident last fall, Nikki moved to protect bystanders and her colleagues when an individual opened fire, putting herself between them and the shooter. She then pursued the intruder, noting their license plate, ensuring law enforcement had what was needed to make an arrest. Her unwavering dedication and strong leadership have earned her the admiration of all around her, making her a deserving recipient of the Officer of the Year award.📸 Officer Council is pictured with Walden Security staff from the Charlotte branch and corporate headquarters – Jessica Zehetmaier , Leslie Ancieta, MBA, Greg Fowler, Edward L., and Jon Mitchell.

Walden Security recently sponsored St. Thomas University in Weston, FL, at its 17th Annual “Fore the Love of Education” Golf Tournament. CSOs from the Southern District of Florida formed Team Walden Security (L-R): LCSO Jason Seaman, CSO Adam Rodriguez, LCSO Allen Perry and CM Glen Wilner. They are pictured with Kayla Alvarez (center), a student at STU and coordinator of the event. She is the daughter of another Walden Security CSO, Jose Alvarez. Our team of CSOs was at -6 when the tournament ceased after 9 holes due to thunderstorms. They greatly enjoyed their time volunteering and representing Walden Security in support of STU student scholarships. #scholarship #waldensecurity #waldenteam #florida #highereducation #family
