Security Escort Officers from the Russell Knox Building in Quantico, VA, show their support for LEOSU-DC. These former SPFPA members voted for the LEOSU-DC recently after their old union SPFPA disclaimed interest in these officers back on April 16, 2019. We welcome these officers to our LEOSU-DC Family. The Russell Knox Building RKB houses five agencies, including the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Defense Security Service, the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Letter from SPFPA President David L. Hickey Disclaiming Interest in the Security Specialists working for Hana Industries, Inc @ Russell Knox Building in Quantico VA. SPFPA disclaimed interest in this group after the Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions filed an election to represent these officers.
In a unionized workplace, employment contracts are negotiated through the collective bargaining process. … to negotiate a union contract requires bargaining skills as well as knowledge of applicable labor laws. Before any collective bargaining begins there is much prep work involved prior to sitting face to face before an employer. The Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions LEOSU prides itself in having a full-time law firm Lally & Misir, LLP that spends the time in researching and preparing for negotiations prior to our face to face meetings with security company employers. The Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions (LEOSU) is a full service labor organization formed to provide every labor related service from negotiations, grievance processing, legal and legislative representation. The Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions (LEOSU) mission is to serve as a voice for law enforcement officers and security professionals in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Washington DC Region and the Northeast region to their employers
Meet Mabel O’Quinn President of Patronus Systems, Inc a security company that employs guards on federal buildings and her husband SPFPA Region 2 Vice President Rick O’Quinn who was elected to represent guards nationwide on federal buildings. Do you see a conflict of interest here?
Documents we have found below reveal Mabel O’Quinn is the President of Patronus Systems Inc. as well as Patronus Systems Partners LLC.
The above NLRB documentslists Rick O’Quinn: Vice President of International Union, Security Police and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) address as 3610 Harlock Road Melbourne, FL 32934-8409. This is the same home address listed for Ms. Mabel R. O’Quinn – Rick O’Quinn’s wife and the registered agent President and Board member of Patronus Systems Partners, LLC and Patronus Systems, Inc
This address has been used for business registration by Patronus Systems INC. The property owner’s name is O’quinn Ricky D. The building was erected in 2003. The property is sixteen years old, which is five years younger than the average age of a building in Melbourne of 21 years. The market value of this property is estimated at $192,250. The property has 2,723 sqft of living area. The size of the land lot is 66,211 sqft. The value of the land is most likely around $54,720. The ZIP code for this address is 32934 and the postal code suffix is 8409. Source: https://clustrmaps.com/a/2f3kne/
WHO PAID FOR THE 200 4100 N Wickham Rd Ste 102 Melbourne, FL 32935 Office Both SPFPA VP Rick O’Quinn shared with his WIFE President of PATRONUS SYSTEMS INC? – WHO Knows Because SPFPA FAILED to Report this Conflict of Interest on their LM-2 Forms as Required under the LMRDA
Checkout SPFPA Rick O’Quinn’s NEW Office Address Listed on the SPFPA Website. How convenient it is located on the same Street as PATRONUS SYSTEMS INC. His Wife Mabel O’Quinn’s Company located on N Wickham Rd. Obviously The O’Quinn’s could no longer share the same 200 4100 N Wickham Rd address – This would be a CONFLICT OF INTEREST and EXPOSE Them!
Patronus Systems, Inc has just been awarded the entire Commonwealth of Kentucky FPS contract as noted by the above flyer below. The Patronus notice clearly notes: Terms and conditions of employment will be set in accordance with Patronus Systems Inc. Policy. Patronus will NOT honor the Collective Bargaining Agreement or the past practices of your current employer. See the actual flyer here.
Patronus Systems Inc was also subject of an NLRB Unfair Labor charge brought by the UNITED GOVERNMENT SECURITY OFFICERS OF AMERICA INTERNATIONAL UNION UGSOA a competitor union of SPFPA in Case 09-CA-165689 whereby the UGSOA charge alleged, in pertinent part, that Patronus Systems Inc. (the “Employer”) is a “perfectly clear” successor and violated Section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act by unilaterally reducing pay rates for unit employees.
SPFPA Region 2 Vice President Rick O’Quinn was elected by the delegates at the SPFPA convention in 2015 to represent its members interest to improve wages, benefits and other conditions of employment. On the other hand his wife Mabel O’Quinn President of Patronus Systems Inc. clearly has taken a opposite view in regards to its employees by REDUCING the PAY RATES of its Patronus security officers as noted above. What’s wrong with this picture?
On April 8, 2019 SPFPA Director At Large / Organizing Dwayne B. Phillips sent a letter to the same Kentucky security officers who are applying for a new job with Patronus Systems Inc. asking them to signup again with SPFPA. Can you see the conflict of interest here?
Based on the April 8, 2019 SPFPA Organizing letter SPFPA Director At Large / Organizing Dwayne B. Phillips offered these Kentucky officers the use of $40,000 for Union business if they just come home. Did Phillips just offer these Kentucky Officers a $40,000 BRIBE?
“The treasury for Local 110 is still in place (over $40,000) to use for local Union business.” – SPFPA Director At Large / Organizing Dwayne B. Phillips.
It should also be noted, SPFPA Vice President Rick O’Quinn is also the Senior Adviser to SPFPA President David L. Hickey. Did O’Quinn advise SPFPA President Hickey & SPFPA Director At Large Dwayne B. Phillips to organize this Kentucky unit to PROTECT O’Quinn’s Wife’s company Patronus Systems Inc Interest by Offering these Kentucky Officers $40,000 Dollars to Come Home?
A further review of SPFPA Local 110 LM-4 forms clearly show something is seriously wrong at SPFPA Local 110: Item 20 Title: THIS LM REPORTIS BEING SIGNED BY THE INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT IN THAT THE CURRENT LOCAL PRESIDENT (B. BAUMANN) REFUSES TO SIGN.
In a SPFPA flyer announcement, SPFPA held a meeting at the Holiday Inn Express in Louisville, Kentucky on June 12, 2019 and June 13, 2019 in their attempt to organize these soon to be Patronus Systems Inc security officers working on the Federal Protective Service Kentucky contract. Are we to believe SPFPA Vice President Rick O’Quinn did NOT know his wife’s Company Patronus Systems Inc was just awarded the ENTIRE FPS Kentucky contract?
Dwayne Philips showed up at my post at 10:23 am and at 10:28 am. Asking to speak with me because I was “the man”. Said that the CEO / President was willing to fly in to speak to ME alone overnight. Wow ! Desperate, wouldn’t you say – A Kentucky Security Officer
Patronus Systems Inc is set to takeover this FPS Kentucky Contract on July 1, 2019.
Should SPFPA be successful in Organizing this Group Who Will SPFPA Represent?The Patronus Officers or SPFPA Rick O’Quinn’s Wife who is the President of Patronus Systems Inc and who is NOT going to Honor the Previous CBA?

SPFPA Local 506 Members Are Calling For a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION of SPFPA VP Rick O’Quinn
Internal Charges (PRESS HERE TO VIEW) were filed by two (2) SPFPA Local 506 members asking for a criminal investigation into SPFPA Vice President Rick O’Quinn wife’s ownership of Patronus Systems Inc and the conflict of interest it presents to SPFPA Vice President Rick O’Quinn and the members he seeks to represent as well as those SPFPA members he presently represents. SPFPA International Secretary-Treasurer Don Eagle refused to process these charges WHY?
SPFPA Felons, Frauds, and FRIENDS – Hickey & O’Quinn Need to Come Clean About Patronus.
SPFPA Has a Long History of Corruption & Embezzlement Under the Leadership of SPFPA President David L. Hickey.
Faced with All This Information Against SPFPA VP Rick O’Quinn Why Hasn’t SPFPA President David L. Hickey Taken Action to REMOVE O’Quinn from Office? – Is Hickey a Secret Partner in PATRONUS SYSTEMS INC?

LEOSU Files Motion to Dismiss SPFPA’s Frivolous Lawsuit Over Publication of SPFPA Union Corruption YouTube Videos.
Detroit Michigan – On 5/10/19 LEOSU’s attorney Thomas Nunley had filed a motion with the judge overseeing a case involving a frivolous lawsuit filed by SPFPA President David L. Hickey and the International Union, Security Police and Fire Professionals of America SPFPA over published YouTube organizing video’s created & uploaded in New York exposing SPFPA union corruption within its organization. You can view LEOSU’s motion to dismiss here.
Below are other related documents and exhibits relating to this case.
LEOSU Organizing Director Steve Maritas noted he is not worried about this frivolous lawsuit filed by Hickey and the SPFPA union since the Truth is an absolute defense.
The truth is a complete defense to a defamation action. See Andrews v. Prudential Sec., 160 F.3d 304, 308 (6th Cir. 1998); See also Baggs v. Eagle-Picher Indus., Inc., 957 F.2d 268, 273 (6th Cir. 1992) (citing Cochrane v. Wittbold, 359 Mich. 402, 102 N.W.2d 459, 463 (Mich. 1960)). This privilege extends to a great variety of subjects, and includes matters of public concern, public men, and candidates for office.” New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 281-82 (1964).
DEFENDANTS’ FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO POST AND USE VIDEOS IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON D.C. – ARE PROTECTED SPEECH – WITH ANTI-SLAPP LIABILITY AGAINST PLAINTIFF – WHICH PLAINTIFF IS TRYING TO ILLEGALLY INVADE
The Plaintiffs are waging a campaign to try to “crush” the Defendants labor union, LEOSU. This “harassment campaign” has included Plaintiffs’ posting over fifty (50) “YouTube” videos attacking Defendant LEOSU, and Defendant Maritas, and filing multiple fraudulent lawsuits, to run-up Defendants’ attorney fees.
Plaintiffs’ David Hickey and SPFPA openly admit their illegal and fraudulent harassment strategy against the Defendants in mocking and threatening emails.
See the attached email from Plaintiff SPFPA to Defendant Maritas, boasting of
illegitimate legal tactics (See Exhibit “C”). See also the e-mail dated May 10, 2019 by the Plaintiff David Hickey sent to union members – boasting of his strategy of costly and fraudulent litigation as a strategy to consume the union dues of Defendant union’s members. (See Exhibit“D”).
Plaintiffs’ strategy is simple: force Defendants to expend union member dues on litigation; and then accuse Defendant of “wasting” union members’ dues on litigation.
Plaintiffs’ intend to attempt to escape New York’s and Washington D.C.’s “anti-SLAPP” laws. “SLAPP” is an acronym for a “strategic lawsuit against public participation.” Ernst v. Carrigan, 814 F.3d 116, 117 (2d Cir. 2016). “SLAPP suits come in many forms camouflaged as ordinary lawsuits. The conceptual thread that binds them is that they are suits without substantial merit that are brought by private interests to ‘stop citizens from exercising their political rights or to punish them for having done so.’” Gordon v. Marrone, 590 N.Y.S.2d 649, 656 (1992); (citing Pring, SLAPPs: Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, 7 PACE ENVTL LREV 3 [1989]).
SLAPP suits function by forcing the defendant into a judicial proceeding where the plaintiff can force the expenses of a defense upon the target defendant. See Gordon, 590 N.Y.S.2d 649 (1992). As the emails discussed above show, Plaintiffs’ only purpose in this frivolous action is to waste Defendant’s resources and “bleed the Defendants dry.” (See Exhibit “D”-mass e-mail from Plaintiff David Hickey to LEOSU members explaining Plaintiffs’ frivolous litigation strategy).
Plaintiffs’ should not be rewarded by filing in Michigan’s Courts, where only Plaintiff has contacts, to harass a rival union and its members.
The National Labor Relations Board Order Approving Withdrawal and Order Revoking SPFPA’s Certification as the exclusive bargaining representative of all full-time and part-time armed and unarmed security specialist at the Russell Knox Building, located in Quantico, VA working for Hana Industries, inc.
Letter from SPFPA President David L. Hickey Disclaiming Interest in the Security Specialists working for Hana Industries, Inc at the Russell Knox Building, located in Quantico, VA. SPFPA disclaimed interest in this particular group after the Law Enforcement Security Officers LEOSU-DC filed an election to represent these 55 officers. SPFPA who feared another defeat against LEOSU-DC chose to disclaim interest rather then face LEOSU-DC head to head in a NLRB election. SPFPA’s decision to withdraw its interest effective immediately, leaving these officers high and dry, now causes these security specialists to become non-union employees until such a time the NLRB conducts a new election whereby the LEOSU-DC had petitioned for.
Most recently SPFPA Organizing Director Dwayne Bedford Phillips, has lost several union elections throughout the country, including Jefferson University Hospital, fourteen (14) state universities throughout Pennsylvania, Cape Cod Hospital, Georgetown University and Law Center and Catholic University in Washington DC just to name a few.
SPFPA is also facing another Decertification election this time at the Federal Communications Commission FCC filed by the Governed United Security Professionals in Washington DC. Omniplex World Services Corporation, is the present employer at this location.
Secretly the SPFPA, was using and texting these anti-LEOSU YouTube videos to potential new members in their attempt to persuade these potential new members not to join the Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions LEOSU. Their efforts was not successful as the the LEOSU was able to win a number of new units from around the country, most notably the Paragon System, Inc protective service officers protecting the federal buildings at 26 Federal Plaza as well as 28 other locations in New York city, the Bronx & Westchester.
With a series of backlash comments from SPFPA YouTube subscribers and non subscribers on these childish defamatory anti-LEOSU cartoon videos created by SPFPA, they must of decided to change tactics and on Monday 4/15/19 they removed these childish defamatory anti-LEOSU cartoon videos from their SPFPA YouTube account and intern created a “PHONY” ANTI-LEOSU account. They then proceeded to upload these old videos as well as some new videos on to this “PHONY” account in their attempt to hide their (SPFPA’s) identity.
After being notified by our LEOSU supporters of SPFPA’s change of tactics, our attorneys immediately sprung into action and the Union began filing harassment complaints as well as copyright violations against SPFPA’s “PHONY” new ANTI-LEOSU YouTube account. Within two days YouTube terminated this account.
One of several of the SPFPA “PHONY” ANTI-LEOSU YouTube Videos that was removed. We suspect SPFPA President David L. Hickey ordered these attacks and SPFPA Organizing Director Dwayne Phillips created this ‘PHONY” YouTube account and all of its SPFPA childish defamatory anti-LEOSU cartoon videos.

Newly obtained documents reveal that SPFPA Director At Large Dwayne Phillips is the real culprit and scoundrel behind a newly created ANTI-LEOSU website which depicted defamatory YouTube videos & pictures against our union LEOSU and its Director. The admission came to light only after the LEOSU had the website taken down after filing a copyright infringement claim against SPFPA. SPFPA Director At Large Director Dwayne Phillips admission now sets the stage for a defamation lawsuit which will soon to be filed by LEOSU’s legal counsel, not only against Phillips personally, but also against the International Union, Security, Police & Fire Professionals of America SPFPA whom he is employed. The SPFPA is well known in the security industry for setting up these kind of shady websites as well as for its Union-Busting propaganda tactics and ANTI-LEOSU YouTube Videos.

Clinton Nuclear Security Officers Vote for the National Union of Nuclear Security Officers NUNSO despite the Union Busting tactics by the SPFPA Union. During this campaign the Corrupt SPFPA Union who had no business in this election attempted to interfere in this election by creating Union-Busting Vote NO Union videos as noted by this screenshot above and texting them to Clinton Nuclear Security Officers.
On January 17 & 18, 2019 ninety four Clinton Nuclear security officers voted to be represented by the National Union of Nuclear Security Officers Union (NUNSO). During the election, NUNSO was competing against three organizations (Exelon, Service Employees International Union SEIU, and Security Police Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) which were trying to convince the union members to vote NO Union. NUNSO came out winning the election to represent and fight for Clinton Officers labor rights.
During another campaign the Corrupt SPFPA Union used similar union busting tactics at MGM Springfield Casino. In this election the SPFPA International Union created YouTube videos denouncing LEOSU and encouraging these MGM Springfield Casino security officers to vote for NO Union.
Above is a SPFPA Copyright Infringement Notice Removal from YouTube for their Union Busting LEOSU / NUNSO video urging Clinton Nuclear security officers to vote NO Union. This SPFPA Copyright Infringement Notice was just one of several Copyright Infringement notices against the corrupt SPFPA International Union by YouTube.
The Law Enforcement Officers Security Unions and its affiliated unions will continue to expose the Union Busting tactics by the International Union, Security Police & Fire Professionals of America SPFPA.
