Bri-Bet Provides Security For Equestrian Competition

/in /by

Bri-Bet Security Solutions saddled up and headed north to Elkton, MD., providing security for a an equestrian competition featuring dressage, cross country and show jumping.
This was not just any horse event and it was no ordinary security challenge. The world-class event over four days, traversed the pristine and bucolic 5,000 plus acres of the Fair Hill Special
Event Zone. One of only two 5 Star events in the United States, and seventh worldwide, the prestigious 5 Star (CCI5*) designation is the pinnacle of the sport of Eventing, best described as an equestrian triathlon.

Bri-Bet flexed its muscles to ensure a safe and incident–free outing for patrons, VIPs, volunteers, vendors, riders, grooms, owners and the real stars…the horses. “This client really pushed our company to deliver in an extremely challenging environment, said Brian Kunkel, CEO. The expansive grounds stretched our resources considerably,’ he added.

Further complicating matters, Bri-Bet had a second large event happening at the same time 60 miles south in Annapolis.

“Truth be told, I didn’t sleep well as both events drew closer. Fortunately, and as they always do, our outstanding security guards and staff rallied together making the Maryland Five Star a
crowning achievement in our company’s 13-year history,” said Kunkel.

“More and more, event promoters are seeing our professionalism and flexibility and are calling on Bri-Bet to ensure their events are safe and secure,” said Kunkel. “Much of the work is developing custom risk and security assessments, crafting a supportability strategy, and then calling on our fantastic staff to support these special events,” he added.

This is the second security contract between Bri-Bet and the Maryland Sport and Entertainment Corporation. “They and their leadership group headed by Terry (Hasseltine) have been
excellent to work with and we hope they’ll look to us for future security needs,” added Kunkel.

“I know one thing, I’m definitely coming back here next year,” said Bri-Bet employee Jaret Ortega who became a media darling and friend to competitors from his post and exuberant antics outside the main arena at Fair Hill. Remarkably, champion rider Tim Price extended an invite for Ortega to travel to England for a future competition.

“I want to thank Bri-Bet Security for the good job working security for our horses to be well, wrote Jean—Louis Stauffer, owner of the New Zealand champion horse Coup de Coeur Dudevin to Bri-Bet ‘s Stable Security Team Leader. All of the staff around our horses made positive contributions, he said.”

Jacob Collection Campaign

/in /by

Operation “Jacob Collection Campaign” rolled into the Victory Villa community in Middle River complete with beaming lights and blaring sirens from the 14 vehicle emergency vehicle parade December 9th.

Jacob is 16 and lives near the Baltimore headquarters for Bi-Bet Security Solutions.  Jacob’s passion is visiting military, first responders, police departments, fire departments and ambulance companies.  Because of COVID-19 social distance restrictions, health issues and local safety protocols, he has not been able to visit these facilities this year.

To replace his passion, Jacob turned to patch, pin and memorabilia collecting.  This became a passion just like he pursues all his interests.  “It was slow going for Jacob and we wanted to change that,” said Brian Kunkel, CEO of the Bri-Bet Group.

“At Bri-Bet, we are fortunate to have many employees with law enforcement and military experience whose life work is to make our world a safer and better place every day.  And nobody rallies behind a cause better than the military and first responder community,” said Kunkel.

Consequently, Kunkel and Bri-Bet senior vice president Andy Purdie led efforts to reach out to fellow first responders.  And just like that, the memorabilia rolled in.  Jacob and his family greeted the parade of cars with hoots, hollers and fist pumps as the emergency vehicles passed.  When concluded, Jacob was presented with dozens of items sent in from all over the country.

Hopefully, this fills a void for the big first responder fan and kicks off his holiday season helping to leave the disappointment of 2020 in the rear view mirror.

Also participating were Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police, Baltimore County Police and Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Department.

Bri-Bet Celebrates Tenth Anniversary

/in , /by

Baltimore, MD. (February 1, 2019) – Bri-Bet Security Solutions, a full service provider of security and risk mitigation services hits a significant milestone as the rising security company eclipses ten years bringing solutions to many clients in the Mid-Atlantic region.

“Any start-up or small business will tell you the first few years are the biggest hurdle,” said CEO Brian Kunkel.  “We’re no different.  This has not been easy and without the right employees and our loyal clients, we wouldn’t be celebrating our tenth anniversary this month,” Kunkel said.

Bri-Bet began with little fanfare in a small Middle River, Maryland townhouse in 2009.  “We saw a need for an increased security capability beyond what was being offered at that time,” Kunkel said.”  “Certainly information and asset protection came to the forefront following many headlining events such as cybersecurity breaches, domestic and international terrorism, power grid and infrastructure interruptions and soft target exposure,” Kunkel said.  “We knew it was time to launch a security and risk mitigation company that worked with its clients to assess and determine their vulnerabilities and develop comprehensive plans to help them become harder targets”, he said.

The company’s clients include federal and local government contractors, corporations, small businesses, law enforcement agencies, special event organizers and private entities.

Bri-Bet has experienced significant growth over the last three years.  That growth, along with the development of the Route 43’s White Marsh Business Park and a need for more space led to the company opening their first non-residence office last year.  “Now we are truly out there among some of our clients and our storefront alone has attracted new clients,” Kunkel said.  “We thank everyone for their support during the first ten years and look forward to seeing where we are at when we get to our twenty year celebration”, he said.

Bri-Bet Announces Annual Employee Award Winners at Holiday Party

/in , /by

Baltimore, MD. (December 15, 2018) – Bri-Bet Security Solutions, a full-service provider of security and risk mitigation services, recognized several employees for outstanding service and support during 2018.

“We have outstanding employees who do outstanding things every day and help make Bri-Bet a great and growing company,” said CEO Brian Kunkel. “Our employees safeguard client businesses, assets, facilities and their employees as well.  Every once in a while, an employee goes above and beyond and we need to recognize the employee’s efforts,” Kunkel said.

Special recognition went to Senior Vice President Andy Purdie.  Mr. Purdie was recognized for his tireless dedication and contributions to ensure Bri-Bet’s success.  “This was well-deserved.  Mr. Purdie has done a great job with expanding Bri-Bet’s footprint in Maryland and is very well liked by our clients.  He is very big part of Bri-Bet’s success”, said Mr. Kunkel.

Special recognition went to two Bri-Bet employees, Director of Security Solutions, Michael Campbell and Security Officer Joseph Dattilo.  Both received the P. Wayne Blair Memorial Award for decisive actions taken to save a life.  Both employees saved a potential drowning victim who had fallen into the water during the Annapolis Boat Shows in October.  Had it not been for Campbell’s and Dattilo’s quick response and heroic efforts, an event as highly regarded as the Annapolis Boat Show, could have quickly turned into an event marred by tragedy. “We are very proud of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Dattilo for their heroic actions.  They are a positive reflection to themselves, Bri-Bet and the security profession as a whole”, said Mr. Kunkel.

Special recognition went to Marty Nielsen, who received the President’s Award for his extraordinary contributions to the 2018 Annapolis Boat Shows and his outstanding performance and superior dedication while working the National Business Park contract.

Special recognition went to Charles Collins, who received the Senior Vice President’s Award for outstanding service and leadership.

Special recognition went to Elizabeth Davie, who received the Security Solutions Director’s Award for outstanding service.

Each year, the company’s holiday party is open to all employees, guests and clients.  The opening of Bri-Bet’s first office in St. John Properties White Marsh Business Park served as a fitting backdrop for award presentations.
