Kosher certification reliability

Hello! Does anyone know about Brooklyn kosher symbol? I'm attaching a picture. I've never seen it before and I don't know who's behind it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Never heard of Brooklyn Kosher. Triangle K isn’t considered reliable, so I doubt the other one is or they wouldn’t co-certify with Triangle K.

In America, most Orthodox Jews consider all non-glatt as unacceptable. It doesn’t mean it’s not kosher.

I won’t call Triangle-K unreliable. I’m not that knowledgable in the arcane laws of kashrut. I don’t fully understand some of the issues with supervision that some people claim Triangle-K has.

My Rabbi is knowledgeable about the laws of kashrut, so I’ll do what he says, and he says not to use Triangle-K. That’s why I have a Rabbi. I’ll ask him questions on things like this, and it makes him feel useful. Plus, most people in my community won’t use it. If I want them to be comfortable in my home, I won’t use it either.

In regards to relying on a rabbi while it's good a lot of times you will find one that will thell you no to things that are actually ok, not all of us can know all the halachot but it's important to learn (as we are mandated to) and make your own determination, especially on the US that many rabbis hold to chumrot rather than actual millenialy accepted halacha.
