We are excited to announce that the US Marshal Service has approved our Walden Security Training Academy for Phase II Training. Phase II Training is a week-long course of study for Court Security Officers (CSOs) that provides academic and on-the-job training. Courses cover active shooters, vehicle inspections, x-ray detection, and more. Upon completing Phase II Training, CSOs have the expertise and training to handle all security needs at their courthouse. This new chapter for Walden Security is due to the diligent work of our Training Academy team. They spent countless hours preparing, practicing, and evaluating all aspects of their work. They are committed to the success of all participating CSOs and adhere to the highest standards through the Training Academyโs core values of professionalism, education, accountability, respect, and leadership.The Training Academy is based at Walden Securityโs corporate headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A new class will begin every other week, each with twenty CSOs. #waldentrainingacademy #waldenCSOs #training #protection #security

I think in this day and age, at least every armed security officer needs this type of training, if not all security officers. A proactive approach in the potential of an incident is better than a reactive one.

Congratulations to Christopher Harper, our 2023 Court Security Officer of the Year from the Northern District of Ohio!Since CSO Harper joined Walden Security in 2018, he has been an invaluable asset to his courthouse. In one incident last fall, CSO Harper stopped an individual who attempted to enter the courthouse carrying liquor and a lighter. Upon leaving the lobby, the individual started climbing the faรงade of the courthouse. CSO Harper climbed up 10 feet of the building to stop the individual and detain them until law enforcement arrived. Before joining Walden Security, CSO Harper served 28 years with the Cleveland Police Department (CPD). He received a Distinguished Service Medal for disarming an armed suspect and a Chiefโs Commendation for answering the call of duty in 1991 to serve in Desert Storm.

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. In one incident last year, CSO Menendez was manning the control room post when he noticed an inmate in medical distress. He quickly alerted the Deputy on duty, who was able to revive the inmate. 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.

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.๐ธ Officer Council is pictured with Walden Security staff from the Charlotte branch and corporate headquarters โ Jessica Zehetmaier , Leslie Ancieta, MBA, Greg Fowler, Edward L., and Jon Mitchell.
