We Provide Wedding Security

When it comes to having security at a wedding, you can't afford not to have it. We are one of the leading wedding security providers on the East coast of the United States. We provide protective security officers, experienced private detectives, and security motorcade support for weddings. We also protect rehearsal dinners, honeymoons, events leading up to and after weddings. More and more couples are wanting their own private security for their wedding and rehearsal because of new and emerging threats. In today's times, brides will need to have their own security close by to protect them and make sure everything goes smoothly. Security that is sometimes provided by the event venue may be inadequate for the specific needs of each bride, groom, and wedding. One of the finest wedding gifts you can offer is safety and protection during a wedding. Couples want to feel like royalty by having protective security with them during their most important day of their life. Consider using us at your wedding venue for overall security, exterior security, simple background investigations on participants, or an entire protective security detail with officers and motorcade support all at your disposal. No matter what your needs, we can provide what it takes to keep weddings safe. Whether it be a jealous ex-boyfriend, family feud or just simple security in case something goes off script, don’t take the risk. Newlyweds should not take the risk on their most important day of their life. Leave nothing to chance. We will also work with wedding planners to give you everything you need for a safe wedding. Use us any way you choose: Undercover, posing as guests, overt security, or an entire private protective detail. Short notice arrangements are available. We also recommend that you allow us to provide bridal protection for the days leading up to the wedding. This is due to increased incidents occurring the night prior to weddings. We are seeing a concerning increase of professional wedding crashers that try to infiltrate events. Surprisingly, many are in their 50’s and are very hard to detect. Others are in there 20’s as one would expect.

Barry Donadio President of Public Security LLC (Photo by Patsy Lynch)

You’re in good hands with Barry Donadio the President of Public Security LLC, who is a former U.S. Secret Service tactical operator.

The building is as anonymous as one could find, nestled in an industrial park in Queenstown, MD., a mid-size town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A small discreet sign is the only indication that there is a well-known, well-regarded security company. The office is functional, a few items including a small toy car, certificates from the states of Maryland and New York certifying that the occupant is fully licensed as a private detective and a firearms instructor. This is the office of Barry Donadio, President of Public Security, LLC, one of about 420 security agencies in Maryland.

Like the office where he sits, Barry Donadio presents the image of a calm, quiet man, who’s background belies his appearance. Donadio, a native of New York, his accent still present, has always been involved with some aspect of security.

The summer of his junior year in high school, Donadio participated in a then, novel program which allowed underaged (he was 17) students to join the New York (NY) Army National Guard and take part if a modified boot camp. Unlike the JROTC, this program was designed to prepare students to become fully qualified student upon graduation. After graduation, Donadio qualified as an Infantry Recon Scout, assigned to the Army National Guard on Long Island, NY. He loved being in the National Guard. “I have so much respect for the men and women I worked with. Every day, they place their lives on the line to defend this country. It was an honor to serve with them.”

After his initial commitment to the Army National Guard was completed, he joined the U.S. Army Reserve as a Military Police Officer at the 340th Military Police Company in Jamaica, Queens NY. He later transferred to the New York Air National Guard where he became a Team Leader in the Emergency Services Team and was a Security Police Officer. This assignment saw him involved with the crash of TWA Flight 800 which crashed off Long Island Sound. This experience leads him to later write his first book, “TWA Flight 800 First Responder Witness Account”.

During his posting in at the Garbreski ANG base in Westhampton Beach, Long Island, he worked with a variety of law enforcement agencies, both State and Federal. He worked along side these agencies assisting with protecting President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore who would visit the New York City area and Long Island. Several Federal Agents that he worked with encouraged him to consider working for the Federal Government and after visiting the Washington DC area, decided to apply to the Secret Service.

‘I finally did send in an application and promptly forgot about it. Image my surprise when I got a call to come in for an interview. I passed the required tests and background investigation and found myself working at the White House.”

Donadio’s job at the White House position was that part of the elite Emergency Response Team (ERT) whose job is to provide security for the President both at the White House itself and on travel to local and foreign areas. Donadio, understandably is reluctant to discuss specifics, even today, due to the nature of the job and to protect the security still in place.

Reluctant to retire completely, “I am the kind of guy who likes to stay busy.” Donadio wanted to do something in the security business and after talking with various people in and around the Washington DC area, decided to pursue his current position, which is marketed towards people who want to know that their home, family, friends and neighbors are protected from outside elements.

Determination, laser sharp focus and over all security are what Barry Donadio advances at Public Security LLC which is a high-end private security and investigation firm that provides a variety of services, from security patrols and armed protection for private events to personal security for celebrities, state and local Congressional representatives. Donadio employees Military veterans, off duty and retired police officers, Security professionals and defense industry contractors who have specialized skills that may be needed to meet the need of their clients. The company also can conduct background checks for potential employees and act as legal process servers in addition to being hired as private detectives.

“I love having prior military personnel on my list contract employee list. I know I can depend on them to provide quality services to our clients.” said Donadio.

“In addition to providing security services, I am also a Firearms instructor. Police departments and private clients in the area can use our services to ensure that their staff are up to date with their training requirements. I also conduct monthly firearm instructions for private individuals who may be interested in acquiring a permit to own and carry a gun. The state of Maryland has very strict laws regarding gun ownership and I make sure that the people who attend my classes are well trained.”

THIS PRIVATE SECURITY FIRM RECOMMENDS THAT THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE GET A BODYGUARD

PUBLIC SECURITY LLC

A private security firm named Public Security LLC is strongly recommending that certain people and events need Bodyguards.

Public Security LLC is private security and investigation firm licensed in Maryland and New York. It is a successful firm because it was found and currently led by Barry Donadio, a former member if the U.S. Secret Service. 

With the experience of working at the White House and protecting two Presidents, he knows what he is doing and he does it well. 

Now, Mr. Donadio and his firm are recommending that people obtain bodyguards that are in certain professions as well as some events and especially weddings. 

We recommend our bodyguards for the following people and occasions:

FASHION MODELS 

Because of their beauty and popularity, both male and female Models are vulnerable to victimization. Models should have a at least one trusted bodyguard / Protective Agent with them at all times during their performances and photoshoots. Even Models that are just starting their careers should never go with a photographer alone without a Bodyguard, 

WEDDINGS

We all know the dangers surrounding weddings and events before and after them. The potential for violence at weddings has been on the rise in recent years. Many wedding establishments charge you for security as part of your wedding package, but have you checked the credentials of these Security Officers? Are they even trained to provide executive protection?  Weddings and especially Brides need a protective detail devoted specifically to them. They are most vulnerable while in a dress that restricts their movement. Give the gift of protection for a wedding. Don't ever have a wedding without having protection. Consider not leaving the most important day of your life to chance. 

LOCAL, STATEWIDE & NATIONAL POLITICIANS 

Even at a town or county level, Politicians are in need of private security for their protection when they are out on the political scene. Politicians should always have a highly trained and experienced executive protection staff with them while attending town halls, rallies, public speaking engagements and while on their campaigns. 

CELEBRITIES

For obvious reasons, all Celebrities need a protective security detail where ever they go and at their homes. We offer confidential and trusted executive protection services to all Celebrities needing private security. Celebrities visiting Washington DC, New York and Baltimore, Maryland should contact us at once to arrange services

BUSINESS CEO'S

The news is often cluttered with disgruntled employees who take out their rage on their former boss and other work peers.  These are circumstances that sometimes can not be avoided, but you can be prepared by using Bodyguards. They need to be present at any hostile termination hearings, business strikes or any other occasion you feel is needed. 

LOTTERY WINNERS 

We have assessed that winners of the lottery are in more danger than anyone on our list of people we recommend for needing executive protection.  For example, winning 100 million dollars is a joyful thing, but there are many unseen security risks and problems ahead for that winner. Not announcing that you have won the lottery (Even to your family) is our first suggestion.  The moment you win a large sum of money you become a target to a criminal enterprise that may stop at nothing to victimize you.  You may also gain the attention of foreign criminal groups operating in the United States.  Not to mention every hacker and thief in your area.  If you have recently won the lottery or received a substantial sum of money, life will change for you and you will require Bodyguards.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS OR ON TV

All people that have recently been on the news need a protective security detail where ever they go and at their homes. 

DEATH THREAT VICTIMS 

Every death threat should be taken seriously until Law Enforcement Officers and expert opinion deems it no longer a credible threat.   You will require Bodyguards to protect you at your home or your place of business.  They can provide protection on a temporary or permanent basis.  Persons who have recently obtained peace, protective orders or orders of protection should also consider protection on a temporary basis. 

MESSY DIVORCE 

A contested separation or divorce can lead to some significant security problems for you. We all know how some divorces can lead to criminal activity against the other party. A Bodyguard can provide personal security protection for the times you need it. In some instances you may require 24 hour security protection of you and your home during these tense period in your life.

Public Security LLC Advises That Security Cameras Are Not Enough To Stop Crimes

Public Security LLC Company Flag

Public Security LLC advises the public not to be deceived into believing that security cameras make you safe. If you search youtube, you can find countless murders, sexual assaults, robberies and abductions all taking place in the face of a security camera. The cameras did a great job documenting the attacks, but didn't stop the attacks. Criminals know to simply wear a mask and it is business as usual. Current public opinion is that once a security camera is installed, they don't have to worry about crime. Security cameras are an excellent supplement and tool. It should be part of your security plan. It should never be your entire security plan and only tool that you are depending on. There are security cameras at the White House and other high risk locations. Without an armed protective force protecting those locations, would those cameras stop anyone? The simple answer is "No". It is the same for your venue or event.

Clients need armed private security officers to respond to threats against the public. Security Officers take the focus off innocent victims and draw the attention of criminals to them. This allows innocents to flee during an active shooter scenario that we are seeing so often these days nationwide. Chances are, once you have armed Security Officers on your site, criminals will choose a softer target, one without armed security.

Barry Donadio's Family Shotgun Returned Home After 90 Years

About 10 years back, Mr. Ray Schnell of Upland, California bought an old .410 caliber shotgun from a a man named Bill Bhornamanat at a private sale in California.

Mr. Bhornamanat stated that he bought the shotgun in the early 1990's from an old Italian couple that moved to California from Long Island, New York years ago.

When Mr. Schnell bought the shotgun, he did not realize how truly rare it was. He was only looking to have something to go shooting with. He was intrigued by the craftsmanship and age of the shotgun. He eagerly purchased it for $150.

With a busy life and high work demands, Ray never had the time to go shooting, so the shotgun stayed in his closet for years. Knowing the the old shotgun needed to be cleaned and oiled, Ray brought the shotgun out of the closet for the first time in a while and began to disassemble it for cleaning. Low and behold, under the front forearm wood was an engraving that read "Prospero Donadio New York, New York"

The curiosity began to take hold of Ray as he started his search into Prospero Donadio and the origin of the shotgun. His first idea was to take it to a local gunshot and have it appraised. The shotgun appraised for $500, but they could not tell Ray anything about the shotgun other than it had Belgian proof marks. He first thought this was very odd. He thought this could have been the privately owned shotgun of Prospero Donadio and that it may have been bought in Belgium.

Time went by, but the curiosity still stuck with Ray. For some reason, he just had to know what this shotgun was all about. He then began an exhaustive search on the internet. He learned that there was actually a gun shop in Brooklyn, New York that was owned by a Prospero Donadio. At first light, Ray thought this was very interesting and wanted to know more. Ray began looking more into Prospero Donadio. Finally he came across a post mortem LinkedIn page for Prospero Donadio and his gun shop. Prospero's LinkedIn page was created by his Great Grand son Barry Donadio.

Ray immediately contacted Barry Donadio to learn more about the shotgun. According to Barry, his Great Grandfather owned a gun shop at 11 Skillman Avenue in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, New York from 1916 to about 1938. The Brooklyn Queens Expressway was built and the shop was destroyed to make way for the new highway. Prospero then moved the gun shop to 378 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn. It was just West of the new highway and only a few hundred yards for the 11 Skillman Avenue shop.

Prospero operated his shop from there until December 7th 1941. That was the day he died in the shop. It was Pearl Harbor day. He never new of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor because it took a day for the news to arrive to the mainland on the United States.

Ironically, December 7th is Ray Schnell's birthday. He turned 2 years old on the day Prospero died.

Prospero had an interesting life. He was also an inventor. He held at least 3 patents regarding pistol operation and a 1917 patent for revolver safety's. Barry thinks Prospero's gun shop may have started as far back as 1915 in Manhattan, but he has not been able to prove it yet.

Barry Donadio explained that it is the understand of his family that Prospero had a line of high quality shotguns made in Belgium. They were made for him to sell in his gun shop in New York.

It is not known for sure if Prospero engraved the guns with his name or the manufacturer in Belgium. It is quite possible that Prospero did it himself to personalize the guns coming from his shop. In either case, it would make the shotguns sold in his shop very rare. Just how rare are they? A .32 gauge shotgun from Propero's shop went to auction in 2013 at a starting bid of $5,750. The reputable James D. Julia auctioneer company held the auction. Barry stated that he has seen these shotguns sell for a higher price.

Barry estimates that at the most, approximately 200 shotguns may have been made that are actually marked with "Prospero Donadio" name on them. He also estimates that probably only about 50 of these shotguns exist today. Out of those 50 existing shotguns, about 25 of the owners may not even be aware it is a "Prospero Donadio" shotgun unless they took apart the shotgun for cleaning by removing the front wood forearm grips. Barry Donadio stated; " It is only a guess in regards to how many of these shotguns are in existence. The numbers can be far lower than even what I have concluded."

The shotgun that Barry Donadio obtained from Ray Schnell is only about the 6th "Prospero Donadio" shotgun to surface publicly in the world. Barry believes that there are an additional 4 more "Prospero Donadio" shotguns owned by other Prosepero Donadio descendants, but they are not talking. "The shotguns are a very secretive possession by Prospero Donadio's descendants. We know some descendants have other shotgun guns, but no family member knows exactly who possesses them in the family and no one talks about it or admits they have one." Donadio said.

Barry Donadio went on to praise Ray Schnell for his genorosity. Donadio said; "Ray sold me the shotgun for far less then what it is worth only to make sure it goes back to a Donadio." I really appreciate his empathy, his passion for history and his gentlemanly gesture of kindness." My family is forever grateful to Mr. Schnell for contacting us and making sure this shotgun came home to a Donadio after 90 years."

Donadio spoke of his Great Grandfather stating that he was a brilliant man that slipped through the cracks of history. He was never truly recognized for all the lives he may have potentially saved by making a patent in 1916 for a revolver safety. Prospero's revolver safety was used on Iver Johnson manufactured revolvers, Meridian Firearms revolvers and Howard Arms revolvers as early as 1917. The safety levers on these revolvers are stamped "May 11 1917". If you have a revolver with this stamped date on it, Prospero Donadio's safety latch patent is applied to that revolver. This makes the revolver a little bit more historic.

Barry Donadio stated that one day he would like to go back to the same Brooklyn neighborhood to manufacture and sell "Donadio" shotguns. Donadio said "It would be good for New York and it would be good for Brooklyn to have their own organically made specialty shotguns of such fine quality. "
