🇨🇦 INAUGURAL CLASS 2026 🇨🇦
What an incredible milestone.
A huge thank you to the Executive Protection Institute for traveling from New York to Canada for the first-ever 2-day Executive Protection course and helping us launch our Inaugural Class of 2026.
We had an amazing group of professionals from all walks of life law enforcement, government, healthcare, and private sector with attendees traveling in from Detroit and Montreal to be part of something special.
Every individual walked away with not just valuable, real-world skills… but a globally recognized certification from one of the most respected executive protection schools in the world.
This is just the beginning.
Canada is leveling up
We’re excited for what’s next. including a 7-day Executive Protection program coming later this year.
Big appreciation to Jerry Heying, Eric Lauzon, and Tony Alfonso for delivering an unforgettable experience.
Let’s keep building.

Are Security Guards First Responders?
It’s a question that’s gaining momentum as frontline violence continues to increase across Canada — and today on The Sentinel Mindset, we dive deep into it.
We’re joined by Steven Summerville, VP of Sentinel Security, and Paul Carson, President of the Security Guard Association of Ontario (SGAO), to break down Bill S-233 — federal legislation introduced in September 2025 to increase penalties for assaulting first responders and health-care workers.
Bill S-233 has:
* Passed the Senate
* Completed first reading in the House of Commons
* Not yet law — now moving through debate and committee review
But here’s the issue…
Despite responding to overdoses, violent incidents, weapons calls, medical emergencies, and being first on scene in malls, shelters, transit systems, residential buildings, and hospitals — Licenced security professionals are still NOT recognized as first responders under this legislation.
As violence grows and responsibilities increase, the question becomes:
* Should security finally be recognized as first responders?
* What will it take to amend this bill?
* And why is this recognition long overdue?
This week’s episode breaks down the legislation, the gaps, and what needs to change to protect those who protect the public.
What's your thoughts? Are Security Guards First Responders?
