The Sentinel Mindset

Putting together our new Event Protection Specialist position, the need for the highest calibre personnel was paramount. With many dynamic client sites who want nothing more than professional security that possess a certain type of skill set fused with customer service, we are in continuous search to find the best our city has to offer out of necessity, not for a fancy marketing campaign.

We recognize that there is a major lack of quality, training, and accountability in the security industry, and we are pushing forward to change the game.  For those with a desire to elevate the industry join us today and be part of the change!

You would think that across the board all levels of law enforcement and security personnel receive the best up to date training on a regular basis to help them win on the job.

This is not always the case. Where budgets play a big factor, some industries like the security industry are voluntary and thus almost non existent.

This leaves many either pursuing training programs on their own dollar or simply walking into danger on a daily basis.

Should an employer be held accountable when their employee gets hurt due to lack of training?

Meet Steven Poplawski from Step Training Inc.

Having worked in the law enforcement field for over two decades, Steve found a personal passion for professional training and education. He has resisted the common notion of “awareness training”, looking to create practical real skill-based learning programs that lead to high-level performance and professional knowledge.

Step Training provides modern, evidence-based de-escalation skills for municipalities, teachers, security services, police, and customer service professionals. Their programs address communication, mental health training, decision-making, situational awareness, and stress modulation for improved performance and resiliency.

During Black History Month, people in Canada celebrate the many achievements and contributions of Black Canadians and their communities who, throughout history, have done so much to make Canada a culturally diverse, compassionate, and prosperous country.

Can anyone be a leader?

 Simon Sinek says that the most important lesson of great leadership is that leaders always work for the people. That's why dictators always keep people divided. If the people are divided, the dictator stays in power. If the people come together, the dictator is out.

 Meet Justin Hanson. 

Justin is based out of Alberta, Canada and is the CEO of SpecVIP. Justin has a proven track record of helping individuals and organizations accomplish their goals, either in protection operations or career success (or both). 

 SpecVIP is a company that likes to think outside the box, but also knows how to work in it. They are focused on using elements of excellence from the Executive & Close Protection Industry and uniquely applying them to improve the operational and success potential of protection professionals or others. 

I had the privilege of listening to Justin as one of the key note speakers at the IPSB conference in Las Vegas where he presented an incredible topic: “Building High Performance Teams”.

Justin is doing some incredible work within the protection industry and is helping elevate the protection game.  For more information on SpecVIP visit: https://www.specvip.ca/
