COGAR personnel were recognized for their "Job Well Done" for ensuring DOC's role in the Inauguration was a success. Key components included ramping up and the planning stages prior to the inauguration, as well as services performed and executed during and concluding the Presidential Inauguration.

Key Personnel, Wallace, Finnegan, and Mayfield were all instrumental in carrying out the success for this mission, as well as carrying this same attitude towards their work on a daily basis. They were selected recipients of the U.S. DOC Secretary of Commerce Coin Award and received Commendation Letters. COGAR personnel were "coined" with great honor for going above and beyond the normal line of duty to ensure DOC HQ is protected and operating at the highest regard to security.

"I wanted to thank you, the Assistant Director of Security and the Contracting Officer's Representative again for recognizing the management and supervisory team we have on the contract. It's the top tier that set the example for the rest to follow, and I believe that the three individuals filling those roles are managing this contract to the best of their ability." - Frank J. Polievka Jr., Vice President of Operations
