July 23, 2023 the 129 full-time and regular part-time armed and unarmed Paragon Systems Inc security officers employed by the Employer at federal facilities in Norfolk, VA and the outlying areas (to include Suffolk, Chesapeake, Newport, Accomac, Portsmouth, Richmond, and Newport News), who were employed by the Employer during the payroll period ending May 22, 2025 made their voices heard LOUD and CLEAR by unanimously voting for the United Federation LEOS-PBA over their former incumbent Union International Union, Security Police & Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) better known as SPiT-FA.

SPFPA / SPiT-FA Received ZERO (0) Votes out of 129 eligible voters.

"This Paragon Systems Inc union election is just another embarrassment for SPFPA (SPiT-FA) President David L. Hickey above who just lost another NLRB election to our Union"
Hickey is so afraid of our Union that he ran off the playground by disclaiming interest in this Paragon Norfolk Va group as noted below" stated Charles Chip Strebeck President of the Union Federation LEOS-PBA


UNION CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL
"Most recently SPFPA President David L. Hickey's former right-hand man SPFPA Vice President at large Rick O'Quinn and his wife President of Patronus Systems Inc. had PLED QUILTY to their roles in a Scheme to Provide and Receive Prohibited Labor Payments" noted Strebeck
This Scam by the O'Quinn's was happening since at least 2010 to 2024 right under SPFPA David L. Hickey's and his SPFPA Executive Board's noses for all these years" noted Strebeck
A few years ago, our Union exposed this SCAM by the O'Quinn's and SPFPA President Hickey clearly knew about it according to a deposition by Rick O'Quinn. How can Hickey and his SPFPA Executive Board allow this to happen right under their noses? noted Strebeck.
