<br /> <br /> <br />Confidential <br />Prepared for Orange County North Carolina <br />Introduction to Sunstates Security <br />History <br />Sunstates Security occupies a unique niche in the <br />security industry. The depth and breadth of our <br />expertise and capabilities easily rival that of the <br />industry giants, while our management team is <br />involved and invested in every account to a degree <br />that even in-house security teams often cannot <br />match. <br /> <br />More than two decades ago, Sunstates Security <br />Chairman Glenn P. Burrell, CPP, recognized the <br />potential for a security firm that could successfully combine the best of both worlds – “big <br />company” resources and economies of scale plus the committed, individualized approach of a <br />proprietary team. For 18 years, Glenn was engaged within some of the most elite law <br />enforcement agencies in the world, including Scotland Yard and the elite Royalty Protection <br />Unit, where he led protection of the Queen's private estate and her family. He is a long- <br />standing authority on issues from anti-terrorism activities and oil rig and shipping interventions <br />to SWAT team training and force protection. <br /> <br />In 1998, Glenn and his wife Kathy moved to the US and formed Sunstates Security. Their vision <br />was to provide discriminating companies with a viable, unique alternative to investing in cost- <br />prohibitive proprietary security or entrusting their programs to firms more focused on <br />boardroom mergers and acquisitions than on front-line security. The company was started with <br />30 employees, building the company on a solid foundation of Glenn’s international security <br />experience and Kathryn’s business management background. <br /> <br />Over the years, Glenn and Kathy carefully hand-picked a core of experienced leaders and career <br />security professionals who now lead the organization, which has experienced exponential <br />growth over the past ten (10) years. Today Sunstates has an operating presence across the <br />country and employs nearly 6,000 world-class security professionals from public and private <br />protection backgrounds, many of whom hold specialized certifications and highly sought -after <br />expertise. <br /> <br />Sunstates has grown exponentially but responsibly over the past decade, relying largely on the <br />loyalty and referrals of a strong base of well-served clients who are growing with us. Our client <br />retention rate averages 95% year in year out since Sunstates’ inception. Organic growth means <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 08873B1B-BC4C-44E2-88E7-6F159AB20086
