This achievement comes during Paladin’s 50th anniversary year, making the milestone especially meaningful as the company reflects on five decades of strategic growth, service excellence, and commitment to its people. Since 1976, Paladin has built its reputation on delivering industry leading security programs to clients across North America. Behind that success are thousands of dedicated Paladinians who show up every day to protect people, support communities, and represent the company’s CARE values in action. This certification is not only a recognition of the workplace Paladin is today. It reflects the culture employees have helped shape over the last 50 years. “When somebody recognizes you for the culture that you have and the combined efforts of our team, it really means a lot to us," Says President, Chad Kalyk; "so many people have been on journeys with us over the last 50 years, and that combination of efforts has driven a culture that is impressive, inspiring, and motivating every single day. ” Paladin’s culture has long been one of the company’s strongest differentiators.

These values guide how employees serve clients, support one another, and engage with the communities where they work. The Great Place to Work® Certification... Hidden cameras and workplace voyeurism are a growing privacy, legal, and reputational risk for Canadian organizations. Recent cases in British Columbia show how covert recording devices can cause lasting harm to victims, especially when images or videos are distributed online. Businesses face various risks when it comes to hidden cameras, including reputational damage, employee distrust, litigation, regulatory scrutiny, and questions about whether management acted appropriately on warning signs. Routine inspections, employee awareness, reporting procedures, technical surveillance countermeasures, and intelligence monitoring can help organizations reduce their risk. 3 ways to minimize the risk of hidden cameras: Inspect high-risk areas regularly: Conduct routine checks of washrooms, change rooms, interview rooms, boardrooms, offices, and other sensitive spaces where people expect privacy. Consider periodic technical inspections using specialized detection equipment. Make reporting easy and take concerns seriously: Employees should know how to report suspicious objects, unusual behaviour, or privacy concerns without fear of being dismissed. Management should investigate reports promptly and document the response. Use proactive prevention, not just reactive response: Hidden camera technology is small, inexpensive, and easy to conceal, so organizations should combine awareness training, recurring inspections, professional surveillance detection sweeps, and online monitoring to identify threats before they escalate. A Growing Risk in Canada Recent events in British Columbia have once again highlighted the significant privacy, legal, and reputational risks associated with hidden cameras and workplace voyeurism. In July 2026, Delta Police launched an investigation after a suspected covert recording device was discovered inside a staff washroom at a FedEx facility... Virtual kidnapping scams are a growing fraud threat in Canada. These scams use panic, deception, and increasingly sophisticated tactics such as caller ID spoofing and AI-driven voice cloning to convince victims that a loved one is in danger and urgently needs money. The best defence against virtual kidnapping scams is independent verification: Hang up, contact the person directly, and never send money under pressure. For corporations, virtual kidnapping can pose a large and costly threat. Organizations should include these scams in fraud awareness and risk management training. Below, we uncover some of the best ways to protect yourself and your organization from virtual kidnapping scams. See how BlueSky can protect against Virtual Kidnapping Scams What is Virtual Kidnapping? Virtual kidnapping is a sophisticated fraud scheme in which criminals convince a victim that a loved one has been kidnapped, injured, arrested, or otherwise placed in immediate danger, despite the fact that no actual abduction has occurred. The objective of the scam is to create intense fear, panic, and urgency, causing the victim to send money or deliver cash before they have an opportunity to verify the story. A recent warning issued by the Richmond RCMP highlights a growing trend that has been reported across British Columbia's Lower Mainland and throughout North America. In many cases, victims receive a phone call from an individual claiming that a family member has been involved in a serious accident, witnessed a crime, or is being held against their will. To increase credibility, fraudsters often employ... Major global sporting events, like the FIFA World Cup, can be a major revenue opportunity for business owners. The upcoming World Cup in Vancouver and Toronto will bring spikes in foot traffic near stadiums, transit hubs, and entertainment districts, plus more hotel stays, dining, and last‑minute retail purchases. However, the same surge can also increase risk: higher rates of theft and fraud, more after-hours break-ins, heavier pressure on staff and managers, and disruptions from road closures, demonstrations, and supply delays. Preparing now for the FIFA World Cup helps you protect your people, premises, and profits. Enable your business to focus on positive growth and brand exposure while reducing preventable losses. Background: The Cost of Security for a Global Stage Year over year, we are seeing growing security spending for world sporting events. The 2024 Olympics in Paris cited a security spend in excess of 2 billion euros (3. 2 billion CAD), while the previous World Cup in Qatar had a spend of over $1. 1 billion. That said, the security budget is only part of the picture of the true cost of these events. Direct incident costs, cybercrime and ransomware, reputational risk, and other lasting security impacts have costs for businesses and cities that can linger for years after a global event. Learn more about the risk considerations for FIFA in our blog. In preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Vancouver and Toronto, retail shops, hospitality businesses, office towers, construction sites, industrial sites, and warehouses should thoroughly review... We are proud to announce that for the 14th consecutive year, Paladin Security has been recognized as a Platinum Member of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. To celebrate this achievement, we share a message from our CEO, Ashley Cooper, reflecting on its significance. “In 2012, when we first won this award, it was a nothing short of a remarkable achievement. Our organization was a fraction of the size that we are today, but our formula for winning in the marketplace remains the same: to deliver the highest quality security programs in the industry through exceptionally trained security officers. This award is not earned by one leader, one team, or one moment in time; it results from relentless focus, the unwavering dedication of our people, and the constant, meticulous care we bring to our work every day. This honour speaks to the culture we have built together at Paladin, and to the consistency with which our teams continue to deliver for our clients, support one another, and drive our business forward. Our Best Managed Companies distinction can be attributed to three core reasons that have driven our success from day one. First, we set high standards for our performance as a team, emphasizing accountability, continuous improvement, and doing the right thing, even in the most demanding of circumstances. Second, we maintain an uncompromising focus on our mission which makes strong commitments to both our clients and our people. We have a serious job to do, and every decision is rooted... AI security cameras go beyond recording video. Helping you detect threats in real-time, AI cameras can verify what’s happening in seconds and allow human operators to respond before an incident escalates. By combining 24/7 live monitoring, live audio intervention ("talk down"), and AI-powered analytics, modern camera systems enable faster incident response and stronger on-site safety with intelligence detection, minimizing false alarms across commercial sites, retail stores, warehouses, construction yards, and multi-tenant properties. In this article, we will cover: What are AI cameras Best practices to use AI analytics within your security program AI analytics to look for when choosing a platform Industries that can benefit from AI security cameras Risks and considerations for AI cameras Before you buy checklist What are AI Security Cameras? An AI security camera uses machine learning to classify people, vehicles, and behaviours and then generates prioritized alerts, searchable event timelines, and operational insights. Compared to basic motion-based systems, AI analytics prioritize real threats, allowing security teams to response faster and focus on events that actually require attention. Conventional cameras, such as analog or Wi-Fi-enabled, often rely on simple motion rules, which can produce frequent nuisance alerts or false alarms. AI-enabled detection reduces these false positives and limits false negatives by distinguishing relevant targets (e. g. , people and vehicles) from environmental movement (e. g. squirrels or wind). For best results, pair analytics with a clear verification process, either on-site security staff or a live-monitoring team and mobile patrol response, to take action on any potential... The recent shooting at the Teotihuacán pyramids in Mexico, which resulted in the death of a Canadian tourist and multiple injuries, serves as a stark reminder that the global threat environment is becoming increasingly unpredictable and interconnected. What was once often viewed as a localized security concern is now part of a much broader international risk landscape where ideologically driven violence, organized crime, civil unrest, and geopolitical instability are converging across borders. For organizations and individuals operating internationally, the assumption that certain destinations remain “low risk” is becoming increasingly difficult to justify. Mexican authorities indicated that the Teotihuacán attack was premeditated, with the perpetrator reportedly in possession of materials linked to the Columbine High School massacre. This connection highlights the enduring global influence of American-origin mass casualty events and how the notoriety surrounding such attacks can continue to inspire lone-actor violence decades later. While firearm accessibility in the United States remains a major factor, the broader cultural normalization of mass casualty events—amplified through media exposure, online content, and extremist subcultures, has contributed to the spread of this threat model into countries like Canada and Mexico, where similar incidents, though historically less common, are becoming more frequent. In Canada, there has been a noticeable rise in concerning rhetoric, lone-actor threats, and isolated violent incidents that mirror patterns commonly seen in the United States. Many of these individuals are radicalized or influenced through online ecosystems and often display clear pre-incident indicators such as fascination with past attacks, ideological grievances, or public and... Monitoring the Digital Threat Landscape: How Emerging Platforms Are Fueling Extremism The digital threat landscape is evolving rapidly, and not always in ways that are immediately visible. While mainstream platforms have taken steps to moderate harmful content, a new ecosystem of alternative digital environments is quietly reshaping how extremist ideologies are funded, amplified, and operationalized. Certain emerging platforms have become key enablers within extremist networks. Originally positioned as “censorship-free” alternatives, these environments allow users to generate revenue directly from their audiences during livestreams and other forms of engagement. In doing so, they have created a sustainable funding model for individuals and groups associated with white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and broader far-right ideologies. The Shift from Content to Capability What makes these platforms particularly concerning is not just the content they host, but the capabilities they provide. They fill a gap left by traditional services where stricter moderation policies have pushed extremist actors off mainstream channels. Instead of disappearing, these actors have adapted, rebuilding audiences in alternative ecosystems where they can continue to influence, recruit, and fundraise. This shift represents a broader evolution in the threat landscape. Extremist activity is no longer just about messaging, it is about infrastructure. These platforms enable a full-cycle model, content creation, audience engagement, financial support, and operational coordination. From Online Rhetoric to Real-World Action The risks associated with these platforms extend well beyond the digital environment. Groups leveraging these ecosystems have used funds generated online to support real-world activities, including travel, coordinated harassment campaigns, and demonstrations... Across both Canada and the United States, organizations are facing a rapidly evolving threat landscape, one where reputation can be targeted, shaped, and damaged in real time. What was once limited to traditional protests or slow-moving public relations challenges has now transformed into a fast-paced, multi-channel risk environment, driven by activist networks leveraging digital platforms and real-world disruption tactics. Recent intelligence reporting highlights a clear and growing trend, companies are increasingly being targeted not for what they have done, but for what they are perceived to represent. In today’s environment, activism is no longer confined to physical demonstrations. Instead, it has evolved into coordinated campaigns that blend online narrative-building with real-world action. These campaigns often begin with targeted messaging on social media or activist platforms, framing an organization as complicit in a broader political or social issue. From there, they escalate quickly into organized boycotts, negative review campaigns, coordinated outreach to investors and partners, and public protests or disruptions at corporate locations. What makes these campaigns particularly impactful is their speed and scalability, with narratives gaining traction within hours and often outpacing an organization’s ability to respond. A defining characteristic of this trend is the rise of “guilt-by-association” targeting, where organizations across North America are scrutinized and targeted based on investment exposure, supply chain relationships, executive affiliations, or even historical and indirect partnerships. This significantly expands the risk landscape, as organizations no longer need direct involvement in an issue to be drawn into activist campaigns. As highlighted in recent Canadian... In today’s interconnected world, geopolitical tensions are no longer confined to distant regions, they are increasingly shaping risk environments here at home. The ongoing escalation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran is a clear example. While Canada may appear geographically removed, it is far from insulated. As a nation aligned with Western allies, with an open economy and diverse population, Canada is both a potential area of influence and, at times, a permissive environment for financial, logistical, and ideological networks tied to foreign actors. For organizations operating across sectors, this reality is redefining what due diligence must look like. The Shift: From Compliance to Risk Intelligence Traditional due diligence, focused on financials, legal standing, and operational capability, is no longer sufficient. Organizations must now adopt an intelligence-led approach that examines: Ownership and beneficial ownership structures Geographic and geopolitical exposure Political affiliations and influence Indirect associations to sanctioned or high-risk entities Recent findings highlight that entities operating within Canada may have direct or indirect ties to organizations linked to Iran-backed groups, demonstrating that these risks are not theoretical, they are already present within the domestic landscape. What appears to be a legitimate business on the surface may conceal complex and high-risk affiliations beneath. The Emerging Risk Landscape Failing to evolve due diligence practices exposes organizations to more than regulatory risk. The consequences are now multi-dimensional and increasingly operational. Organizations may face: Regulatory and legal exposure Financial loss and sanctions implications Reputational damage amplified by digital ecosystems Targeting by activists or... The 2026 FIFA World Cup will span multiple major North American cities, including Vancouver, Toronto, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle. This unprecedented footprint creates extraordinary opportunity, but also a complex, interconnected risk environment shaped by global instability, domestic tensions, cyber threats, and evolving security challenges. Unlike previous tournaments concentrated in a single nation or limited geography, the 2026 World Cup will unfold across multiple jurisdictions, political climates, and infrastructure ecosystems. As a result, risks will not only be local, they will be continental, digital, and geopolitical in nature. The U. S. –Israel–Iran Conflict: A Catalyst for Elevated Risk The ongoing military escalation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has materially altered the global threat environment. Direct strikes, proxy engagement, cyber retaliation, and aggressive rhetoric have increased the likelihood of asymmetric responses, including cyber operations, extremist mobilization, and politically motivated violence. High-profile international events like the FIFA World Cup represent symbolic platforms. They provide visibility, global media coverage, and concentrated crowds, all of which can appeal to hostile actors seeking attention or disruption. Potential impacts tied to this conflict environment include: Heightened cyber activity targeting Western infrastructure Protest mobilization related to foreign policy decisions Lone-actor radicalization inspired by global events Anti-government or anti-alliance demonstrations Threat messaging directed toward symbolic Western gatherings Increased security posture around diplomatic assets and U. S. government facilities Given that the majority of host cities are in the United States, a... Data centers and technology infrastructure are no longer viewed solely as back-end corporate assets. Increasingly, they are perceived as symbolic nodes of political power, economic influence, artificial intelligence expansion, and surveillance capability. As a result, the threat environment targeting these facilities, and the executives, regulators, and organizations connected to them, is evolving rapidly. Recent intelligence monitoring conducted by BlueSky Risk Intelligence and Paladin Risk Solutions has identified explicit threats, hostile rhetoric, and targeting indicators directed at executives, shareholders, and public officials supporting data center expansion . These findings reflect a broader shift in threat dynamics, where technology infrastructure is framed by hostile actors as emblematic of surveillance, corporate overreach, and societal control. The convergence of ideological opposition, political polarization, anti-corporate sentiment, and the normalization of violence against executives has elevated the overall risk exposure for organizations operating in this sector. Why Are Data Centers Becoming Targets? The rise in threats against data centers is being driven by overlapping political, economic, and social pressures . The rapid buildout of hyperscale facilities to support artificial intelligence systems has triggered grassroots resistance across North America, with activist groups organizing around concerns related to energy consumption, environmental impact, water usage, land development, and surveillance. These facilities are increasingly viewed as critical nodes of national technological power rather than neutral infrastructure. As AI capabilities expand, data centers are becoming symbolic targets for those opposed to technological growth and perceived corporate dominance. Public scrutiny surrounding data privacy, biometric systems, AI governance, and corporate data collection practices... Insider threats remain one of the most complex and damaging risks facing modern organizations because they originate from individuals who already have legitimate access to facilities, systems, personnel, and sensitive information, often with enough familiarity to bypass traditional controls and avoid early suspicion. This risk extends beyond direct employees to include contractors, vendors, consultants, and even individuals indirectly connected to trusted personnel, which expands the “attack surface” in ways many security programs underestimate. Recent high-profile events continue to reinforce the core lesson that trusted circles can become critical vulnerabilities. While the report references a criminal/national-security example to illustrate how insiders or close associates can enable decisive outcomes, the takeaway is directly applicable to corporate, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure environments: access can be weaponized, and the damage can be operational, financial, reputational, and—at times, physical. What counts as an insider threat An insider threat is any current or former employee, contractor, vendor, partner, or trusted associate who intentionally or unintentionally misuses authorized access in a way that negatively impacts organizational security, operations, personnel, or reputation. Insider threats are often misunderstood as purely “malicious employees,” but the risk spans multiple profiles, including negligent insiders and compromised individuals operating under coercion or external influence. The three primary categories of insider threats Insider threats typically fall into three categories. Malicious insiders intentionally seek to harm the organization, motivated by factors such as financial gain, revenge, ideology, coercion, or grievances, and may steal sensitive information, sabotage systems, assist external actors, or undermine operations. Negligent... Wildfire risk is already increasing across key regions of North America as environmental conditions create a higher likelihood of early-season fire activity. While overall wildfire potential remains near seasonal averages across the continent, localized areas in western Canada and the southern United States are experiencing elevated wildfire risk due to drought, reduced snowpack, warming temperatures, and exposed fuels. For businesses, government agencies, and critical infrastructure operators, early-season wildfire risk presents significant operational, safety, and continuity challenges. Organizations with assets, personnel, or operations in high-risk regions should begin implementing proactive wildfire monitoring and preparedness measures now. Climate Conditions Driving Increased Wildfire Risk in North America The current wildfire outlook is influenced by a transition away from La Niña weather patterns toward more neutral climate conditions. This transition typically introduces greater variability and increases the likelihood of dry conditions across certain regions, particularly across western Canada and the southern United States. Several key environmental factors are contributing to elevated wildfire risk: Reduced snowpack in key wildfire-prone regions Persistent drought conditions across western Canada and much of the United States Warmer-than-normal temperatures accelerating fuel drying Exposed grasslands and forests vulnerable to ignition Increased potential for wind-driven fire spread These conditions allow fires to ignite more easily and spread more rapidly, particularly in grassland and wildland-urban interface areas. Canada Wildfire Risk Outlook: Western Canada Showing Early Warning Signs In Canada, wildfire risk remains broadly near seasonal averages overall, but localized elevated risk is already emerging in western provinces. Southern Alberta is currently one of... Recent high-profile incidents, including the suspected kidnapping involving Nancy Guthrie in the United States and the abduction of WonderFi CEO Dean Skurka in Canada, have brought renewed attention to kidnap-for-ransom risk in North America. While these types of incidents remain relatively rare compared to other forms of crime, they highlight an important reality: the threat is evolving, and certain individuals and organizations face elevated exposure. For corporate leaders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals, understanding the likelihood of this threat, and how to mitigate it, is essential to modern security planning. The Changing Nature of Kidnap-for-Ransom Kidnap-for-ransom in North America has evolved significantly over the past decade. Traditionally associated with organized crime or high-risk international environments, modern KFR incidents now include a broader range of tactics. These can include targeted abductions, short-duration “express kidnappings,” coercion-based extortion, and even virtual kidnapping scams designed to pressure victims or their families into rapid payment. Offenders increasingly rely on digital tools to identify and assess potential targets. Social media, public records, and other open-source information can reveal personal details such as home addresses, family members, routines, travel plans, and indicators of wealth. This digital exposure allows criminals to select targets more efficiently and exploit perceived vulnerabilities. At the same time, payment methods have shifted. While traditional cash demands still occur, offenders increasingly request cryptocurrency or electronic transfers due to the speed and perceived anonymity of digital transactions. This evolution reflects a broader trend toward faster, more opportunistic crimes designed to secure rapid financial gain. Who Is... BlueSky Risk Intelligence Monitoring recently released a new assessment examining how youth radicalization is evolving in Canada, the pathways that draw young people toward extremist ecosystems, and the strategies organizations can use to reduce risk and intervene early Youth Radicalization and Terror. The findings highlight a troubling reality, what was once viewed primarily as a long-term policy challenge has become an operational security concern for schools, municipalities, healthcare systems, community organizations, and corporate stakeholders responsible for public safety. From Online Exposure to Real-World Risk The report details how recent Canadian law-enforcement interventions involving youth underscore the accelerating role of online ecosystems in extremist recruitment. Digital platforms, encrypted messaging channels, livestreams, memes, and grievance-driven forums are increasingly used to expose young people to polarizing narratives and reinforce a rigid “us versus them” worldview. Radicalization rarely happens overnight. Instead, it tends to unfold through gradual stages, initial exposure to emotionally charged content, followed by engagement with influencers or recruiters who provide validation and belonging, and eventually escalation into more absolutist messaging that can normalize or encourage violence. In later phases, some individuals may be drawn into private online spaces, operational discussions, or calls for real-world action. Who Is Most at Risk? The research emphasizes that no single profile defines a vulnerable youth. Rather, susceptibility often emerges from overlapping personal and environmental pressures. These can include social isolation, bullying, discrimination, family instability, academic struggles, mental-health stressors, and feelings of political or cultural alienation. Online algorithms can intensify these dynamics by feeding increasingly extreme... Ransomware continues to dominate the cyber-threat landscape in Canada, and the newly released Ransomware Threat Outlook 2025–2027 paints a sobering picture of what organizations should expect in the coming years. Our BlueSky Risk Intelligence team reviewed the findings closely and distilled the most important insights for Canadian executives, security leaders, and risk professionals. The conclusion is clear: ransomware is no longer an episodic IT problem, it is a persistent, strategic risk to operations, reputation, and public safety. An Expanding Criminal Ecosystem The outlook emphasizes how ransomware has matured into a professionalized criminal enterprise. What began as simple malware designed to encrypt files has evolved into a multi-layered extortion industry supported by organized networks, specialized brokers, and subscription-style ransomware platforms sold to affiliates. These Ransomware-as-a-Service models have dramatically lowered the technical barrier to entry, enabling a larger pool of criminals to conduct sophisticated intrusions at scale. At the same time, threat actors are adopting artificial intelligence to automate reconnaissance, craft more convincing phishing lures, and accelerate malware development, further increasing the speed and impact of attacks. Canadian organizations of every size are considered potential targets. The report highlights that most ransomware actors are financially motivated and opportunistic, scanning widely for outdated software, exposed remote services, weak authentication controls, and staff vulnerable to social engineering. Once inside a network, attackers frequently move laterally, escalate privileges, steal sensitive data, and carefully position themselves to cause maximum disruption before delivering ransom demands. From Encryption to Multi-Layered Extortion Today’s ransomware campaigns rarely stop at locking... Canadian colleges and universities are entering a period of sustained and increasingly complex protest activity. Global geopolitical instability, polarizing political narratives, and domestic Canadian issues are converging in ways that are reshaping campus security environments nationwide. As highlighted in the BlueSky Risk Intelligence latest assessment, institutions should expect demonstrations, counter-protests, online targeting, and operational disruption to remain a persistent feature of the academic landscape rather than episodic events. Post-secondary campuses have long functioned as highly visible civic spaces where international developments quickly translate into local action. Student organizations, diaspora communities, and online networks often mobilize rapidly in response to global crises, creating situations that can escalate quickly if not carefully managed. Institutions should anticipate increased protest frequency, movement of demonstrations into surrounding downtown areas, and heightened reputational scrutiny directed at leadership, faculty, and student groups. Geopolitical Drivers Reshaping Campus Risk Several international flashpoints continue to act as catalysts for activism across Canadian campuses. Volatility tied to U. S. foreign and domestic policy is forecast to prompt solidarity demonstrations, walkouts, and marches, particularly in major urban centres. While most activity remains peaceful, the primary risk lies in escalation, spontaneous crowd growth, clashes between opposing groups, transportation disruptions, and threats directed at vocal individuals or organizations. Iran remains a medium-term pressure point, where renewed unrest abroad could quickly spark emotionally charged rallies and advocacy campaigns within Iranian-Canadian student communities. These events may increase demand for safety planning, monitored gatherings, and student support services. Meanwhile, the Israel–Palestine conflict continues to be one of... Protest and activism activity across Canada continues to increase, with the past weekend marking one of the more active periods seen in recent months. Large-scale demonstrations were recorded in most major urban centres, with Vancouver, Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Montréal, and Ottawa experiencing particularly high turnout. Several of these events resulted in significant transportation disruptions, impacts to surrounding businesses and infrastructure, and arrests in multiple jurisdictions. This surge in activity is occurring against a backdrop of heightened global geopolitical tension. Ongoing U. S. military involvement and increasingly volatile international rhetoric are acting as catalysts for protest movements both globally and domestically. As a result, our intelligence monitoring indicates active planning and coordination for additional demonstrations throughout the coming week and into next weekend across multiple Canadian cities. In addition to protests directly tied to international issues, we are also observing domestic groups leveraging the broader global environment to advance local or national agendas. Events such as the Stop Mass Immigration rally in Toronto highlight how international tensions can amplify or accelerate existing domestic movements. This convergence of global and local drivers adds complexity to the protest landscape and increases the likelihood of overlapping or competing demonstrations. As protest volumes increase, so too does the risk of confrontation. We continue to assess an elevated likelihood of clashes between opposing groups, consistent with incidents observed over the past weekend and during previous protest cycles. These dynamics present heightened safety, reputational, and operational risks for organizations with assets, personnel, or... Over the past week, our team at BlueSky Risk Intelligence has observed a continued and accelerating increase in protests, activism, and associated disruptions across Canada. As outlined in our previous forecasts, protest activity has escalated significantly nationwide. Current analysis indicates a 42% increase in protest events and a 46% rise in overall attendance, reflecting both heightened mobilization and broader public engagement. Key Drivers Behind the Increase This surge is being driven by a convergence of geopolitical and political factors, including the ongoing Israel–Hamas conflict, sustained instability in Iran, U. S. military actions in Venezuela, and growing global opposition to the Donald Trump administration. Based on current indicators, our assessment is that protest activity will remain elevated and is likely to intensify across multiple issue areas in the near term. As negotiations between Israel and Hamas show signs of stalling, we anticipate a corresponding increase in pro-Palestinian demonstrations across major Canadian urban centres. Notably, we are also observing a shift in protest tactics. Planning is expanding beyond traditional outdoor public spaces into shopping centres, transit hubs, and other indoor or semi-controlled venues, increasing the potential for disruption to commercial operations and critical infrastructure. Iran, Venezuela, and Expanding Protest Narratives Continued instability in Iran, particularly any indication of further U. S. military involvement, will likely drive an increase in pro-Iranian or “liberation-style” demonstrations within Canada. At the same time, ongoing U. S. actions related to Venezuela are expected to sustain and potentially escalate protest activity focused on American involvement in the region....

If you’re the owner of a small to mid-sized or family-run security company, the idea of selling your business can feel both exciting and overwhelming. You've likely put years of hard work into building something stable, trusted, and deeply personal. Whether you’re starting to think about retirement, planning your next chapter, or simply exploring what your options might look like, understanding the sale process is key to ensuring the value you’ve created is properly recognized. Based on my experience as both a seller and a buyer, the guide below walks through each major phase of a typical acquisition, breaking down each, so you can approach this process with clarity and confidence. Step 1: Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) For security business owners who are ready to move forward with a sale, preparing a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) is a key step in attracting serious buyer interest. This document serves as a high-level introduction to your company and plays a vital role in the acquisition process. Often considered the first impression of your business, a CIM is designed to present qualified buyers with essential information while maintaining confidentiality. It outlines the business’s core strengths, performance metrics, and market positioning without disclosing any client or employee names. Typically, potential acquirers receive a short summary or preview of the CIM first, and if they express interest, they are asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving the full CIM. An effective CIM for a security company should include: Key financial highlights (e. g.... Security risk assessment: Identifying and mitigating risks Every business faces potential security threats. These can include data breaches, theft, damage to facilities, or harm to employees or patrons. Appropriate security measures can reduce such risks and improve threat readiness. A security risk assessment identifies and prioritizes risks to determine the level of security needed to protect an organization. Gleaning critical information from a risk assessment is an important first step, allowing you to increase surveillance, hire security guards, or institute loss-prevention practices accordingly. Working with an experienced and innovative partner in a rapidly evolving security landscape results in solutions tailored to your specific needs. What is a security risk assessment? A security risk assessment identifies potential threats and assesses risk levels to mitigate harm. This service can protect your business assets from threats like data breaches, unauthorized access to facilities, theft, and workplace violence. “Tailored risk assessments provide a detailed and accurate understanding of the unique threats within a given environment,” says Eduart Caka, Paladin Security’s Program Development Coordinator. “By addressing risks particular to their sector, organizations can implement tailored control measures that are more effective and relevant. ” Although all industries benefit from a customized risk assessment, those that would gain the most include financial institutions, mining, and critical energy infrastructure like nuclear power plants and oil refineries. Why conduct a security risk assessment? A security risk assessment helps ensure your mitigation strategies are effective and cost-efficient. By assessing potential risks before implementing security measures, you can be sure... What is a Tactical Security Guard? Roles and Importance Businesses today face more security threats than ever, from theft to civil unrest and active shooter scenarios. Protecting people and property requires a strategic approach—one that combines advanced technology, such as AI-driven surveillance, with the expertise of trained security professionals. While traditional security services include unarmed security personnel, more businesses are turning to a more specialized solution: tactical security guards. A tactical security officer is a highly trained professional equipped to handle high-risk scenarios with advanced training. Learn more about the role of a tactical security guard and how they can help businesses in various industries. Defining tactical security guards A tactical security guard typically has more specialized knowledge, training, and equipment than the average security officer. They usually have a background in law enforcement or military operations to enhance their role in a high-risk situation. Tactical security guards may be skilled in: Threat assessment Rapid response Emergency response De-escalation and physical control tactics Specialized equipment usage While traditional security guards form the first level of protection with general surveillance and reporting, tactical security guards serve as an added layer of protection, determining how to react once a threat is detected. For example, in the case of a concert or political rally, standard guards are deployed around the perimeter to observe signs of aggression, escalation, or potential threats. Once a threat is identified, relevant information is relayed to the tactical team, which determines if an intervention is necessary. “Tactical security guards... Auto theft continued to be one of the most prevalent crimes in 2024 and is expected to rise in 2025 due to organized crime and high demand for auto parts, causing significant distress to vehicle owners and parking lot managers. According to insurance broker ICBC, 6,255 vehicles were stolen, and 8,823 were broken into in British Columbia in 2023. In Ontario, 12,275 auto thefts were reported in 2023, which is a 24. 6% increase from 2022. In the first four days of 2025, 34 vehicles were stolen in Mississauga and Brampton. In this article, we’ll explore actionable steps to deter auto crime from your parking lot and how owners can keep their vehicles safe. Paladin's Approach to Deter Auto Crime If you own or run a parking facility and are concerned about the potential risk of auto crimes, here are some tips from our experts. At Paladin Security, we provide high-level security services to commercial and retail properties to protect clients' and customers' property. Paladin Security Directors James Blights, CPP, and Sean Kelly are experienced Security industry professionals and recommend the following approaches to deter auto crime: Signages to Remind Customers to Remove Valuables “Theft from a vehicle is usually a crime of opportunity,” says Blight. Often, auto break-ins occur when someone walks by a vehicle and sees valuables through the window. Using signage throughout the parking areas can effectively remind customers to remove all valuables from their vehicles and leave nothing of value visible. “Drivers need to think about... You have invested years—maybe decades—into building your security company. Deciding to sell something you have spent so much time building is one of the most significant choices you will make. A well-planned sale can be the difference between securing your company’s legacy or leaving value on the table. Preparing your company financially, operationally, and structurally for an acquisition will position you to maximize value and attract the right buyer. With over 40 acquisitions in 20 years, we at Paladin Security have seen that the best deals happen when both parties are organized, motivated, and have established a sense of trust. If you are considering selling a security company, it is never too early to prepare for a potential sale—ensuring you do not miss out. Factors that Influence the Value of Your Security Company There are several key factors that will influence the appeal of your company, including businesses that offer a smooth transition and demonstrate strong growth potential: Revenue Stability Stable, consistent income and a history of year-over-year growth gives buyers confidence in future profitability and a stable, more likely return on investment. A reliable growth track record combined with solid profitability increases the likelihood of a higher offer. High profitability alone does not guarantee a higher offer. Buyers will assess profitability levers such as overhead costs or customer lifetime value and adjust their valuation based on expected costs and revenue potential. Paladin Acquisition Tip: In the security guarding world, there are three main factors an owner/operator can control when... Gaining experience in security lays the career foundation for Law Enforcement and Policing. The skill sets needed to pass the police hiring application process can be developed through the experience of being a security officer. This is why people who are interested in a career in policing start in the security industry. Samira Faqiri followed that path. Starting as a security officer with Paladin, she gained invaluable experience and developed the skills needed to take the next step. Today, she wears her police uniform with pride and shares her inspiring story. A Small Girl with A Mighty Dream Samira dreamed of pursuing a career in policing from a young age. However, growing up as a girl in Afghanistan, where female rights are severely restricted, she was told that she could not be a Police Officer because of her gender. Those discouraging words only made her more determined to chase a career in policing. When she arrived in Canada as a newcomer in 2016, she focused on learning English and explored pathways to Law Enforcement. Despite an uncertain future, she decided to begin her journey as a Security Officer to gain experience. Paladin Security was becoming her clear top choice, given its reputation and the opportunities it offers. Samira started her role as a Security Officer at Surrey Central, where her passion for helping people in crises allowed her to gain critical experience and develop her understanding of the security field. Through Paladin, she received extensive training in Conflict Management, Defensive...

The role of an event security guard Depending on the size and scale of your event, you may need to hire several security guards to perform a range of tasks.

Did you catch our latest episode of The Difference Makers podcast? We had the honour of speaking with Yvette Lacasse, our Branch Manager in Newfoundland and Labrador. In this episode, we explore how Yvette effectively manages her branch while pursuing lifelong studies. As a female leader in security, she exemplifies strong leadership, providing mentorship to her team while continuing to learn and grow. How does she balance it all? Episode topics include: What it takes to run a branch The power of mentorship The importance of training and education The ins and outs of healthcare security At Paladin, we're all about helping our team members grow and reach their full potential. The first value of Paladin’s C. A. R. E.  culture is to be “Curious” by seeking opportunities to learn and improve.

This week, we're delighted to share the story of Nick Khoja, a Security Program Manager in British Columbia. Nick, tell us a bit about your journey. What role did you start in, and what role do you hold now? “I started in 2009 as a Bike Guard within Metrotown and am a Program Manager. I’ve held almost all the field positions Paladin has to offer, like Bike Patrol Team Lead, Control Room Supervisor, Scheduling Manager, and Client Service Manager. ” What a journey! When you first started, were you aware of Paladin’s promotion-from-within philosophy? “When I first joined, I was new to the security industry and did not know how the hierarchy worked, nor was I aware of the promotion-from-within philosophy. As I grew in my tenure, I started to get a sense of this philosophy. ” You’ve advanced a lot within the company. When and how did you decide to pursue these promotions? “I was... James Blight, CPP, Director for Paladin Security, takes a look at industry trends and how they could impact the guarding world. Blight is a 27-year veteran of the industry with a heavy focus on the retail sector. He’s been an instrumental part of numerous initiatives and transformations within the industry and is passionate about pushing it forward, actively working with clients and industry leaders on new approaches to improve security programs and further advance the industry.  The Future of Security Guarding In a world where technology is constantly evolving and solutions are available at your fingertips, the question arises: What is the future of security guarding, and what kind of services will be needed? Security-minded organizations understand the importance of partnering with forward-thinking security providers. They adopt policies and processes that constantly meet today’s risks. For starters, it’s important to consider the role of a security guard, which will vary depending on the environment the guard is deployed in and how proactive they might be. For example, a guard in a healthcare or retail setting will have a more dynamic experience than a guard working overnight at a construction site. Any guarding position can be rewarding if the guard is engaged, meaning they are proactively seeking out opportunities to interact with visitors, performing patrols and duties diligently, and documenting patrols and incidents accordingly. So, how do you future-proof your security programs to ensure a safe and secure site is maintained? It starts with curating the proper program to suit the... Join Paladin Director James Blight as he talks with Connie Marciniuk, the City of Edmonton's Community Safety Liason, about the importance of community engagement and the role empathy-led security plays.

Episode topics: Understanding the nuanced landscape of the marginalized community Implementing effective strategies for de-escalation and conflict resolution Highlighting best practices and safety considerations Supporting compliance with property regulations while fostering positive outcomes for all involved May was Mental Health Awareness Month while June is Pride Month, and Paladin is tackling both topics head-on with an open letter from Sav Moon, Marketing Coordinator for the Paladin Group of Companies. Sav’s journey with PSG began in 2019 as a Security Officer before quickly moving into a marketing role. In this letter, Sav opens up about the struggles she’s faced and provides a raw and real look into the journey that has made her who she is. During Mental Health Awareness Month and Pride Month, I want to share my story about navigating mental health, gender identity/expression, and sexual orientation. For me, the three are interconnected. Since I was young, adults have said that I march to the beat of my own drum. I didn't realize how true that was until societal norms and pressure to conform weighed heavily on me as the years passed. Every new haircut, fashion statement, tattoo, and piercing seemed to draw attention to me. I didn’t realize that expressing my authenticity would make me stand out in ways I wasn’t ready to address. With every change—cutting my hair short, wearing loose-fitting clothes, announcing that I had a girlfriend—anxiety and worry about what others thought crept in and weighed me down. I was six the first time an older woman shooed me out of a public bathroom with her cane. I was eight when my elementary school lunch lady put me in the boy’s line for recess, only to be pulled back into the... Paladin Group of Companies is proud to announce that Chelsea Hazewinkel, the Group’s Chief Legal Officer, has received the honourary title of King’s Counsel (KC) in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the legal community.

You have demonstrated an enduring commitment to enhancing our province’s justice system and outstanding leadership. ” King’s Counsel candidacies, including letters of support, are reviewed by a committee that includes representatives from all three levels of the court system, as well as members of the Law Society and the Canadian Bar Association. The final list is then submitted to cabinet for consideration and approval. The King's Counsel designation is very prestigious in Canada, the UK, and other Commonwealth countries. It is the highest honour bestowed by the legal profession. Sharing this honour with my Paladin friends and colleagues has been immensely meaningful. Our company is big in size and scope but feels very small when you are receiving support from across all Paladin banners: Concord, PalAmerican, Risk, Paladin Security and Paladin Airport Security Services, Chelsea said. Paladin’s culture is built on four values: being curious, accountable, respectful, and exceptional.

Floods can be unpredictable and devastating, often leaving property owners facing significant physical and financial challenges. Understanding the necessary steps to take after a flood strikes your property can minimize damage, ensure safety, and facilitate a swift recovery. This article will equip you with knowledge of immediate actions, communication protocols, and cleanup procedures and help you effectively manage the situation and reduce the long-term negative impacts.

Immediately after a flood, take the following steps: Turn off utilities: Switch off the main power switch to avoid electrical hazards.

Prompt and clear communication of maintenance issues is essential to reduce the potential damage and costs. Avoid contact with flood waters: Even clean water becomes unsanitary as soon as it leaves the pipes and hits the walls/floors. When navigating through the affected area, wear rubber boots for protection against contaminated water and from submerged electrical outlets. Document the damage: Take photographs and detailed notes of the flood damage. This documentation is crucial for insurance claims and will aid in the flood cleanup process.

Online shopping has become a tool that makes purchasing items simple and easy. So easy, that it’s allowed consumers to become ‘lazy’ with their private information. Do you have your credit card saved on certain sites? Does your card information pop up with an auto-fill option? If you’ve answered yes to either of these questions, then you could be at risk. According to the Better Business Bureau, online purchase scams expose your identity and financial information, which is the riskiest form of consumer fraud. Here are some basic tips to help protect yourself this holiday season.   Multi-factor Authentication Authentication is how you prove you are who you say you are when logging in – such as a password. However, if someone other than you knows your password, they can gain unauthorized access to your account. Multi-factor Authentication is exactly how it sounds – providing multiple methods of authentication for a more secure login. Oftentimes it involves the consumer logging in with an email and password, then using a code that is sent to their phone or email, which is then inputted into the site to be authenticated. Other forms may include a fingerprint or PIN that you’ve set up beforehand. Oftentimes, MFA is required only when logging in with a new device or browser for the first time.

These two professions, though distinct in their roles, share commonalities that make them vital cogs in the wheel of public safety. If you are interested in a career in security or law enforcement but aren’t exactly sure what the connection is between the two, get ready to unravel the differences and similarities that make these roles unique and essential for our communities. The Role of Security Guards The first thing to remember is that security is not law enforcement. A security officer’s or guard's jurisdiction extends to specific locations or private businesses like hospitals, malls, airports, office/commercial buildings, schools/universities, industrial sites, and more. They are responsible for keeping the property and its people safe from a myriad of issues. Among many other responsibilities, security professionals enforce policies, respond to emergencies, mitigate criminal activities, and enforce security protocols. They also have a crucial role in educating the public and being customer service champions for their sites. But the job of a security officer goes well beyond protecting property and manning events. Many times, security professionals perform life-saving actions and become heroes of our communities. A number of our Paladin officers have been honoured with the Canadian Security Lifesavers Award for doing exactly that, whether it be resuscitating someone, preventing a suicide, or assisting with critical incident first aid. A job in security can turn into a lifelong, fulfilling career with endless growth opportunities.... Paladin has earned a national reputation as the leading security training organization.

Moving up the Ranks of Security In the fall of 2010, Krisztina joined Paladin Security as an on-call security guard, providing extra coverage at various sites.

With summer officially here, more and more people are grabbing their bikes and hitting the road or trails. That means bike safety is paramount. Here are a few tips to keep you safe while out for a ride. Bike Safety 101 The most important tip when it comes to biking is to always wear a helmet. It's something that is often overlooked but crucial for keeping you safe. Helmets are designed to help prevent injuries to your head by helping to dissipate the force of the impact. According to the American CDC, in three out of four bike crashes, bikers usually end up with some sort of head injury. Another way to stay safe is to be sure you are seen. Attach a light to the front and bike of your bike along with reflector strips. This is to ensure drivers, pedestrians, and other cyclists notice you at any time of the day. While you're at it, add a bell to help notify pedestrians who may not see you. Obey Traffic Law If you're cycling on the street, it's important to follow the rules of the road - something many cyclists disregard. Even in a bike lane, road rules apply. If you're new to cycling, be sure to check out hand signals for cyclists, which help drivers and other riders anticipate your next move. As for riding on the sidewalk, check with your local state or jurisdiction to see if it's allowed. STAY SAFE OUT THERE! Office security is incredibly important for any business. It plays a vital role in safeguarding valuable assets, confidential information, and the well-being of employees. By implementing effective security measures, not only are potential threats deterred, but it also creates a safe and productive work environment. In this article, we explore the significance of office security and provide best practices to mitigate risks and enhance overall security levels. Identify Potential Security Risks in the Office a) Theft: Theft is a major concern when it comes to office security. It's alarming to think about valuable equipment, confidential documents, and personal belongings being targeted by thieves. This risk needs to be taken seriously in order to protect assets, maintain trust, and avoid financial losses. b) Vandalism: Acts of vandalism can be incredibly disruptive to an office environment. Deliberate destruction of property not only hampers operations but also results in financial losses and negatively affects employee morale. It's important to identify vulnerable areas and take proactive measures to prevent vandalism. By doing so, potential vandals can be deterred, and a positive and productive workplace can be maintained. c) Unauthorized Access: Unauthorized access can lead to serious consequences such as theft, vandalism, or the compromise of sensitive information. That's why it's absolutely crucial to have strict control over access to restricted areas. It is key to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed entry. By doing so, the risks associated with unauthorized access are minimized, maintaining the security of the office. Download our free whitepapers... Join us in The Difference Makers podcast as we sit down with Director of Operations Shane MacDonald as he takes us on a captivating journey from security to policing and back again. In this episode, Shane candidly shares his experiences, insights, and invaluable advice for people out there considering a similar career path. Some of the topics: Security as a steppingstone to policing Parallels and similarities Key transferable skills and specialized training How to build a fulfilling career in security Expert tips for joining the police force High-rise tower, retail, and commercial property security are critical to maintaining a safe and pleasant environment for tenants and visitors. However, it comes with its own set of challenges that need to be addressed effectively. In this article, we will explore the most common security challenges in downtown and urban environments and discuss the “Paladin Approach,” a friendly and effective strategy employed by Paladin Security to tackle these issues. 1. Panhandling A common challenge faced by commercial and retail properties is panhandling. Panhandlers position themselves in high-traffic areas and actively solicit visitors for money, sometimes becoming aggressive when their demands are not met or when approached by security. To address this issue, the Paladin Approach focuses on establishing polite, respectful, and friendly contact with panhandlers. Security personnel verbally notify panhandlers of the rules of the property and offer information about social aid resources when appropriate. By treating people with respect, empathy, and building rapport, Security Officers can guide them toward the support they need. 2. Sheltering During colder and wetter seasons, people without shelter will seek shelter in parkades and stairwells, creating safety and access concerns for properties, as well as potential property damage if fires are started for warmth. This challenge is compounded by the fact that some people without shelter may carry weapons for self-defence. To mitigate this issue, Paladin recommends installing Guard Tour points to establish frequent patrols and notifying other security personnel or the operations centre of their whereabouts before approaching. The Paladin Approach involves empathy...

Meet Julius Sosa Julius has always had a strong passion for serving his community. His ultimate career goal is to become a police officer, and he is well on his way to achieving this goal. In order to build his confidence and communication skills, Julius decided to pursue a career in the security industry as a security guard. He has now been at it for 14 years, and during this time, he has worked in a variety of different sites, such as commercial buildings, malls, and hospitals. Becoming a Better Person & Leader The majority of Julius' experience in security has been in the healthcare industry. He has worked his way up to becoming a team lead and supervisor, managing a team of over ten security guards. This experience has helped him become a better person and improve as a security professional. “Working in a healthcare environment has helped me become a better person by being more patient, compassionate, empathetic, respectful, and confident.

Julius’ progression within Paladin is admirable and a shining... Mental health is a topic that's becoming more prevalent in the security industry. But while mental health is finally being talked about more openly, we still have a long way to go. This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to spread stories, resources, and valuable information that will hopefully help security professionals and anyone out there when dealing with mental health. - As security professionals, we're often hired to protect others. But sometimes protecting yourself is just as important. - What is Mental Health Mental health refers to how we feel and think, and our ability to cope with life's ups and downs. It's a state of well-being that includes emotional, psychological, and social aspects of our lives. Just like physical health, mental health can be influenced by various factors such as our genetics, environment, and life experiences. Taking care of our mental health is important because it helps us to enjoy life, build positive relationships, and handle challenges that come our way. This Mental Health Month, challenge yourself to examine your world and how it can affect your overall health. Look around, look within – from your neighbourhood to genetics, many factors come into play when it comes to your mental health. Commitment to Mental Health At Paladin, we believe that mental health help should be accessible to everyone. That's why we're tackling this taboo subject head-on by providing an extensive list of resources for our employees and now, for you too, so that you can get the help...

About Earth Day Earth Day began in 1970, as people in North America and across the globe became more aware of the environmental harm that humans have caused and continue to cause to our planet. This year’s Earth Day theme is “Invest in Our Planet. ” The goal is to engage governments, institutions, businesses, and all citizens to do their part and activate the gears toward a sustainable Earth. The Role of Security in Protecting the Planet Environmental protection is often considered the responsibility of governments and non-profit organizations. However, the security industry has an essential role in protecting the planet. Although security companies focus on protecting people and property, environmental security is also critical for maintaining a safe and secure world. As security professionals, we can reduce our environmental footprint by implementing sustainable practices such as using renewable energy sources, reducing paper usage, and promoting recycling. The security industry can contribute to environmental protection by adopting sustainable practices, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting environmental awareness in our communities. By doing so, we can help mitigate environmental risks and contribute to a more sustainable future. Paladin CARES Paladin takes environmental protection very seriously. We are the first security company in Canada to achieve the environmental registration certification ISO 14001. As part of our CARE Culture, we hold ourselves accountable for our environmental impact by implementing several sustainability efforts. For example, we have established end-of-life processes for all equipment, ensuring we use more sustainable equipment that lasts for more extended periods... Empowering Women in Security At Paladin Security, we strongly believe in advocating for and empowering women. The Harmandeep Kaur Women in Security Scholarship was created to do just that – help provide women opportunities to succeed in the security industry while also honouring Harmandeep Kaur, a beloved Paladin Security Officer who died in February 2022. The inaugural recipient of the scholarship is Anchaldeep Kaur. Anchaldeep is a Paladin Security Officer from Delta, BC, and is currently enrolled at University Canada West, where she is working towards completing her master’s in business administration. She said her manager encouraged her to apply for the scholarship as she felt Anchaldeep’s values strongly aligned with Paladin’s CARE values. "Over the years, I have been a champion of women in security by advocating for equal opportunities, breaking down stereotypes, and overcoming the challenges faced by women,” said Anchaldeep. “When I found out that I won, I had to read the email twice. I’m so grateful for this opportunity," she added. “We are very pleased to recognize Anchaldeep as this year’s Harmandeep Kaur Women in Security Scholarship recipient," said Paladin Security President Chad Kalyk. "Our scholarship committee was impressed by Anchaldeep’s ambition, motivation, career aspirations and her desire to make a difference in people’s lives. She is a great example to all Paladinians, but especially to our aspiring and capable female employees who contribute so much to making the world and safer and friendlier place. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for Anchaldeep... Leading Healthcare Security From Experience Johnny Boykins has flourished during his career with PalAmerican.

It is important to prioritize our safety no matter where we are or what time of day it is. While not everyone may naturally have a security-focused mindset, it's essential to understand what's needed to stay safe. "Keeping your head on a swivel" when you're out and about is a good practice, but it can be challenging when focused on your daily tasks. Simple actions like being aware of your surroundings, knowing where exits are, keeping enough distance from others in public, ensuring easy access to your car, and keeping your children close can make a big difference. But we should also be prepared to respond when something disrupts our daily routine. This blog provides some useful information to help keep you safe in unpredictable situations. What to do in an Edged Weapon Situation? Understanding how to respond or react to someone wielding an edged weapon, like a knife or blade, is not common knowledge. Even skilled professionals can be injured in these situations. While it takes a lot of time and training to become skilled in edged weapon defense, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself. Each situation is different, and attackers may present the weapon in various ways. So how do we stay alert and remember what to do in unexpected and under-stress situations? Here are some basic, yet powerful points to remember that could save your life in an edged weapon scenario: Situational Awareness –...

But that's not all - working as a security guard can also be a rewarding career in terms of personal growth and development. It can provide you with invaluable skills, experience, and specialized training. You'll learn how to communicate effectively, de-escalate situations, develop strong problem-solving skills, and more. These skills are transferable to many other industries and can help you advance your career in the future. If you're considering becoming a security guard, you'll need to meet certain requirements and complete specific training. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to become a security guard in Canada. Step 1: Meet the Basic Requirements Before you can become a security guard in Canada, you must meet the basic requirements.

This week, we're thrilled to feature the story of Ashley Lamb, a Healthcare Zone Supervisor in Alberta. How it Started While doing an interview for a dispatch/scheduling position with Paladin, Ashley discussed her future goals with the Client Service Manager conducting the interview. He mentioned she would be a great fit for Healthcare Security. Shortly after, she joined Paladin in Healthcare Security as an on-call unit watch guard. A month later the job became permanent as she moved into a Healthcare Static/Core position which is a full-time role on a designated team. Ashley’s hard work and determination then led her to become Shift Lead, which unleashed a passion she didn’t know she had. “I love training and providing coaching and opportunities,” Ashley said. Two and a half years later she was promoted to her current position, Healthcare Zone Supervisor. Paladin’s Promotion from Within Philosophy Ashley heard about Paladin’s Promotion from Within philosophy soon after starting. She said... When it comes to ensuring the safety and security of people, businesses, and communities, the security industry plays a critical role. However, the industry has often been stigmatized for lacking professionalism, standards, and a commitment to excellence. Some organizations tend to follow the legislative minimum for security standards, which is sadly not enough today. Paladin Security is changing the game and pushing the limits by professionalizing the industry through its industry-leading training, promotion from within philosophy, and CARE Culture. In this blog, we'll explore how Paladin is setting a new bar and what this means for its employees, clients, and communities. Industry-Leading Training One of the key ways Paladin is professionalizing the security industry is through its robust on-the-job and company-funded training programs. All employees go through a comprehensive training program that covers everything from customer service and communication skills to emergency response and risk assessment. Additionally, through an internal online learning platform called Paladin University, Paladinians can enhance their skills and knowledge with over 200 courses available to meet their career goals and elevate the industry as a whole. This not only ensures that Paladin employees are well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise, but it also helps to build a culture of excellence and professionalism within the company. Promotion from Within Philosophy Another way Paladin is professionalizing the security industry is through its promotion from within philosophy. The company is committed to providing its employees with the opportunities and resources they need to grow and succeed in... Imagine making a decision that could lead to life or death in a split second. That was the case for a Paladin Security team in Newfoundland – and they came out as heroes. In the early morning of August 23rd, 2022, Shift Lead Aaron Mills, and Security Officers Logan Dunn and Tyler Chaytor were called into action at a hospital in Newfoundland. Aaron received a call just before 1:30 am advising him of a youth patient who escaped the emergency department. Moments later, he was told someone was on the roof of the building. When he and Logan arrived on the scene, they found a teen standing on the ledge, threatening to jump. What happened next was a series of quick-thinking events that ended up saving the girl’s life. STRONG COMMUNICATION AND QUICK RESPONSE In a split second, Logan sprang into action and climbed over fencing and rooftops to reach the girl. But once he got there, he could see the teen moving over the roof’s edge. Logan ran over to her, grabbing her arm before she fell to the pavement below. Despite Logan holding on to her with all his strength, there was little on the roof’s ledge to grip onto. The girl was frantically dangling, almost slipping out of his control. He reached even further, grabbing the waist of her pants, which helped him pull her up to safety. The team kept her safe until the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Police Service responded. APPLYING LEARNED SKILLS The team continued... Every year since 2014, The Paladin Family has come together to celebrate a distinguished Paladinian with the Tamara Jackson Memorial Award in remembrance of a beloved team member who left an indelible mark on our hearts and made a tremendous impact on our team. About Tamara Jackson Tamara began her career at Paladin as a Security Officer in 1994 and quickly rose through the ranks due to her dedication to her team, her passion for her work, and her exceptional integrity as a woman in security. In her final role as Vice President of National Quality Standards & Support (NQSS), Tamara's contributions were significant, and her impact can still be felt throughout the company. Sadly, Tamara passed away from cancer in 2014, leaving a great loss to all who knew, loved, and respected her. “Tamara embodied the essence of The Paladin Difference. She was fully committed to providing exceptional service to our clients and showed an unwavering dedication to her team. Her ability to inspire and bring out the best in others was truly remarkable.

This week, we're thrilled to feature the story of Masih Omate, one of our Client Service Managers. Masih's Paladin Journey It all began when Masih was on the hunt for exciting new opportunities in the security industry. One day, he came across an ad for Paladin Security and decided to give it a shot by applying for a Security Officer position. He met with the Client Service Manager and the client, and after the interview process, he was thrilled to start his security journey in downtown Calgary.

Sticking to a healthy diet can be difficult under normal circumstances and particularly challenging for security guards who may have irregular work schedules and limited access to cooking equipment. Most security professionals work long hours and can find it hard to get proper nutrition during the workday. In today’s fast-paced society, nutrition is as vital as ever. This article will share some helpful nutrition tips for security guards and proposed plans for a healthy diet while on duty. Healthy Meal Choices for Security Guards A key tip for maintaining a healthy diet as a security guard is to plan and prepare your meals in advance. This is a common strategy among people trying to eat healthier and can be especially helpful for those with limited cooking resources. By preparing a week's worth of meals at a time, you can ensure that you have access to healthy options even when you are on the job. As a security guard, it is crucial to focus on incorporating lean protein, high-fibre foods, and complex carbohydrates into your meals. Lean protein (such as chicken or tuna) allows your body to get what you need without excess calories and fat, which can be helpful if your job requires sitting for long periods. This is a great tip if your role involves watching CCTV cameras or working behind a desk in an office/commercial tower. Sugary foods such as chocolate bars and cakes offer forms of energy that hit the bloodstream straight away, making us feel recharged....

It is the total commitment to our people and believing in their potential to grow from within that has allowed us to create an exemplary organizational structure with countless exceptional promotions. Through our Promotion-From-Within Philosophy, Paladin employees can plot their own career paths within the organization. In our feature, Then & Now, we showcase amazing and inspirational stories of our Paladin employees rising through the ranks. This week, we’re featuring Vice President Mathew Zielinski. Mat's Paladin Journey In 2006, Mat started his career at Paladin as a Security Supervisor within the healthcare security vertical while still attending Simon Fraser University, where he would eventually complete his Bachelor's Degree in Criminology. Over the years, Mat's supervisory experience diversified to include a foundation within complex security programs, which refined his customer service leadership skills, making him the perfect fit for his next career steps. In 2013, Mat was selected as the Corporate Security and Health and Safety Manager for Electronic Arts (EA) Canada. A life-long learner, Mat applied his past security, customer service, and facilities management experience in this new leadership capacity to evolve Paladin’s security programs and provide our customers with unrealized value-added management practices. With Mat... Paladin Security is honoured to be named winner of the Outstanding Contract Security Company (Guarding) Award from the inaugural Canada Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) 2022. The OSPAs recognize and reward companies and individuals across the security sector. They are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for outstanding performers to be recognized and their success to be celebrated. The winners were presented at a virtual awards ceremony on Thursday, December 8, 2022 (see 55:39 for our award). From humble beginnings with four employees and one contract, Paladin has grown into Canada’s largest private full-service security company. With ten years as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, a place in the Hall of Fame of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures, being named Best Employer by Forbes Magazine for three years in a row, and winning multiple BOMA National Pinnacle Awards, Paladin has showcased its biggest differentiator - its people or what we call The Paladin Family. Paladin has been one of the fastest-growing companies in Canada over the past years, and its success is a direct result of championing a unique corporate culture and developing the most responsive security programs in the industry. We stand out because of our people-first approach, empathy-led security model, and promotion-from-within philosophy. The OSPA judges said that "Paladin showed a strong family culture, and their commitment to training and employee development is commendable. The focus on ‘team’ was evident in each and every piece of evidence that was provided – highlighting their... Winter season is upon us, with some areas already seeing heavy snowfall. Working in cold conditions brings a unique set of hazards, potentially more so than any other season, especially for Security Guards that spend large portions of their shift outdoors. It is extremely important to be aware of these hazards and how they may affect you and your coworkers to understand how to prepare yourself for and safely work in cold/winter conditions. Signs of Cold Stress Cold stress can lead to hypothermia. This usually happens slowly, and workers may only realize they are in danger once it's too late. Feeling cold is the most crucial warning sign to note. There are three stages to hypothermia: Mild: - Shivering; grogginess, poor judgement, or confused thinking. Moderate: - Violent shivering; inability to think or pay attention; slow/shallow breathing; slurred speech; poor body coordination Severe: - Loss of consciousness; little or no breathing; weak, irregular, or non-existent pulse. If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself or another officer, it is imperative that you remove yourself from the cold and notify your Supervisor or Manager immediately. Depending on the stage you are in, you may need urgent medical care. *Source – WorkSafe BC - https://www. worksafebc. com/en/health-safety/hazards-exposures/cold-stress Reducing Risk of Cold Stress Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. While your employer may provide toques, jackets, and long pants, it is the employee’s responsibility to provide any additional items to ensure their comfort when working in the cold (i. e. gloves, thermal...

Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day, is recognized on November 11 as a day to commemorate and honour the veterans who served during the First and Second World Wars. It's also a day when Canadians reflect and remember those who have served or are currently serving their country. On this day, the poppy is a commemoration symbol for the fallen soldiers. It is marked by a two-minute silence at 11:00 AM (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month) and the wearing of poppies. We invite you to wear a poppy on that day to reflect and remember those who gave their lives for the greater good of our country.

His First Impression About Security &... As the weather warms up, it is important to understand the risks that come with sunshine and how to stay healthy and comfortable in the heat. Not only can heat cause discomfort but if not taken care of, it can lead to dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heat stroke, and other heat-induced illnesses. When working outdoors, it is key to take precautionary actions to stay cool and comfortable and avoid falling ill. Be sure to follow these security tips to beat the heat. What you can do on the day-to-day... Protect yourself from the sun by wearing sunscreen and sunglasses. Try to minimize your time in the sun by finding shady areas and stepping indoors if possible. Drink PLENTY of water. You should be drinking 1. 5 – 3 litres on a hot day. Try to stay hydrated ahead of time to prevent the risk of illness. Although water should be your main source of hydration, if you are feeling dehydrated, an electrolyte drink such as Gatorade in addition to water is your best friend. Eat frequent meals. Maintaining healthy nutrition is important when working outside and having cooled, hydrating meals will help to minimize weakness, headaches, exhaustion, etc. Wear looser-fitting clothes; tight, stiff clothing prevents ventilation. Cool off frequently using ice packs and cold towels on your neck and pulse points. A handheld fan or a cooling mist spray is also good to have around. Early signs of heat illness include headache, light-headedness, weakness, nausea, muscle cramps, heavy sweating,... CCTV monitoring is one of the best ways to keep your business safe and secure. We’re all so familiar with security cameras and video monitoring that it might seem like an obvious concept. However, we need to break down the term “CCTV” when we talk about different kinds of video surveillance. CCTV in a Nutshell CCTV stands for “closed circuit television. ” This was video monitoring in its original form - analogue video cameras that send a signal to a specific set of monitors (i. e. , the signals are not publicly transmitted). The newer alternative to analogue CCTV is the IP camera, which transmits live footage as a data stream over a network or the internet. These cameras don’t need to be physically connected to hardware to record and transmit footage, so remote video monitoring is much easier to achieve and is usually of a higher quality. Many IP cameras have built-in functions, such as motion sensors that send alerts to monitoring stations. Some IP cameras also have remote controls, so it is much easier to change the angle or zoom in on a specific camera without someone needing to reposition it physically. Modern IP video systems, known as Video Management Systems (VMS), also allow extended recording at higher framerates, higher resolutions (measured in Megapixels) and longer duration than analog CCTV systems. IP video systems can be exported onto a USB or other media to be provided to external resources such as Supervisors, Law Enforcement, or customer personnel as... “Security is not a product, but a process.
