Canadian Security Lifesaver Association
Security and Investigations
A non-profit organization recognizing Canadian security professionals and their contributions to the community.
About us
There are over 140,000 licensed security guards in Canada. These professionals deliver value to the general public on a daily basis. They safeguard our workplaces, residences, and entertainment facilities. It’s a job that must be done; an essential post that must remain filled, even in times of adversity. Their efforts often go beyond the role of ‘policing and enforcement’. There are countless examples of unrecognized incidents in which security personnel, through their direct actions, have saved individuals' lives. Established in 2019, the Canadian Security Lifesaver Association® is a non-profit organization that seeks to recognize these security professionals and raise awareness of their significant contributions to Canadians. Our Objectives 1. Celebrate examples where security professionals’ direct actions resulted in saving an individual’s life and that without such immediate intervention those individuals would most certainly perish. 2. Enhance the public perception around the professionalism of the private security industry. 3. Promote positive discussions around collaboration between Government, Law Enforcement and Private Industry.

Q2 2024 NOMINEE: John Whieldon . Extraordinary dedication to hospital security and community care . Security Officer John Whieldon has extraordinary dedication and life-saving abilities at Strathmore Hospital in Alberta. . In one instance, during a particularly busy time at the hospital, Officer Whieldon noticed an individual among the patients waiting for triage, who looked to be dazed and confused. Recognizing the man was in medical distress and was potentially suffering a stroke, Officer Whieldon immediately escorted him to the front of the line and alerted the triage nurse. . The man was diagnosed with a perforated aorta, and thanks to Officer Whieldon’s prompt assistance, his life was saved. Ten days later, the man returned to the hospital to thank him for his lifesaving intervention. . In another instance, Officer Whieldon assisted paramedics with an unresponsive patient who was suffering from a fentanyl overdose. His quick thinking and recognition of the patient led to the administration of the correct medication, ultimately saving the patient’s life. . Officer Whieldon’s vigilance and professionalism are unmatched. Within his first year on duty, he prevented over 200 knives and even a sword (concealed in a cane) from entering the hospital. His polite and approachable demeanor helps de-escalate potential conflicts. He always arrives early, leaves late, and never seeks praise, embodying humility and dedication. . Thank you for everything you do, Officer Whieldon! . . . #security #securityguards #hospitalsecurity #superstar #community #healthcare #CSLA #canadiansecuritylifesaverassociation

Q2 2024 NOMINEE: David Styles . Immediate care for severely injured individual saved a life One bitterly cold evening, in the course of his regular duties, Paladin Security Officer David Styles came across an individual on the exterior of the site who was dressed in very little clothing and looked to be in distress. . Upon closer examination, Officer Styles discovered that the individual had been badly beaten with severe head and face trauma, and had been dropped off at the side of the road in the cold. . Officer Styles immediately called 911 and ensured that the individual received the help they needed. The person was hospitalized for multiple days as a result of the injuries they’d received. If Officer Styles had not found and assisted them, they would likely not have survived the night. . Thank you, Officer Styles! . . . #security #securityguards #communitysecurity #lifesaving #canadiansecuritylifesaverassociation #CSLA

Q2 2024 NOMINEE: Duane Montpetit . Lifesaving actions at the library . In June 2024, Paragon Security Mobile Supervisor Duane Montpetit was attending a regular site where he wakes the unhoused before the library opens. . During his regular patrol, he noticed an individual who was slumped over in a chair and who did not appear to be breathing. With the help of Ajax Parks Guard Santosh Singh, he immediately began CPR, administered three shots of narcan and called 911. . Ultimately, the individual regained consciousness and was able to get further help from the local authorities. Mobile Supervisor Montpetit’s calm, collected demeanor and care for the unhoused population in his regular site has helped him earn and keep the respect and trust of the community. . Thank you, Supervisor Montpetit! . . . #csla #security #securityguards #canadiansecuritylifesaverassociation #unhoused #community
