LINCOLN, Neb. — September 16. 2026

Penlink, a leading provider of digital intelligence solutions for law enforcement, national security, defense and enterprise organizations, announced today that Training Manager Brittany Hansen was presented with the Patriot Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of War program.

Hansen was nominated by Capt. Kevin Petrowsky, a Product Trainer at Penlink and Commander of the 192nd Military Police Detachment, in recognition of her consistent flexibility and support as he balanced his responsibilities at Penlink with his military service.

Supporting those who protect and serve is central to Penlink’s mission. Through its technology, Penlink helps law enforcement, defense and public safety agencies turn complex digital data into actionable intelligence to advance investigations, identify threats and help protect the communities they serve.

That commitment extends beyond the technology Penlink provides. The company supports employees who serve in the military and their communities, while also investing in organizations and initiatives that support law enforcement, military members, first responders, victims and the communities they protect.

“Our commitment to those who protect and serve goes well beyond the technology we provide; it is part of who we are as a company,” said Kristine German, Vice President of Marketing at Penlink. “That means standing behind our customers and their missions, supporting organizations that make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve, and ensuring employees like Kevin can fulfill their commitment to military service while continuing to grow and succeed at Penlink. Brittany’s recognition is a great example of how our employees bring that commitment to life every day.”

The Patriot Award is presented on behalf of the Department of War to individual supervisors nominated directly by the National Guard and Reserve members they support. The award recognizes supervisors for measures including flexible scheduling, accommodations around deployments and training, and support for military families.
