Our Dallas Branch gathered yesterday to celebrate their 2025 Officer of the Year, Casey Jones! You may remember our post last year, when Officer Jones provided aid to an individual that had fallen, possibly hitting their head, and stopped breathing at his site. Casey was quickly able to call for an EMS and begin chest compressions on the individual. After the third round of compressions, the individual started breathing again, at which time the EMS arrived. Casey has continued this standard of excellent duty throughout 2025 which is why he was honored with our Dallas Officer of the Year! Congratulations Casey!

Walden Security’s Nashville branch kicked off our 2025 Officer of the Year celebrations by recognizing their officer, Darrell Kraft. With over four years at Walden Security, Darrell has become a cornerstone of the team, known for his strong attentiveness and his ability to keep operations running smoothly in his role as Site Supervisor. Before stepping into this position, Darrell built a unique and diverse background in media and production, from capturing breaking news as a cameraman for WKRN News 2 to operating a golf cart taxi business and even running a haunted house. Today, he plays a critical role in scheduling and client communication. When asked what keeps him motivated, his answer is simple, the people. Looking ahead, Darrell is focused on continuing to grow with Walden Security and seeing where his career path leads next. We are proud to recognize Darrell and grateful to have him on our team in Nashville!
