During a visit to our Delta Hotel respite centre, I had a chance to meet three of our remarkable team members. It was especially meaningful as this visit was the same day as International Women’s Day, a global celebration of the incredible achievements and contributions of women.

I had the great opportunity to connect with Sandeep, Prinka, and Damanpreet and even had the chance to capture a photo with them. Their commitment to the individuals we support were truly evident, and it was inspiring to witness firsthand the positive impact they have each day.

International Women’s Day is an important reminder to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of women across all sectors of our organization. From our frontline staff providing essential support to those working diligently behind the scenes, the women of ASP Team bring a wealth of talent, compassion, and leadership that is integral to our success.

To Sandeep, Prinka and Damanpreet, and to every single woman who is a part of the ASP Team family: thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and the unique perspectives you bring. Your contributions make our organization stronger.

Wishing you all a very happy International Women’s Day! May you continue to shine and inspire.

TTC Specialist Samar Chhabra and Jeswin Alex, while conducting a routine patrol at the Dundas Subway Station, encountered an unresponsive individual who at the time was exhibiting signs of a drug overdose. Both guards responded with professionalism and efficiency.

S/G Alex immediately initiated CPR while S/G Chhabra communicated with TTC control and cleared the area to ensure emergency responders could access the person in distress. The team administered two doses of naloxone, with S/G Alex continuing CPR between doses. Their efforts successfully restored the individual’s breathing and responsiveness. The guards remained focused and continued life-saving assistance until the subject regained consciousness and began breathing.

The quick thinking, clear communication, and teamwork displayed by S/G Chhabra and S/G Alex were crucial in saving the individual’s life. Their actions exemplify the highest standards of service, professionalism and commitment to public safety.

Picture to the right is a photo of their certificates and also a picture of S/G Chhabra and ASP Operations Manager Anwar Bonimy, unfortunately S/G Alex was not available at the time of the photo.

Tampering with doors and their mechanisms

It has been noted that some guards have been using tissue and cardboard to manipulate the doors so that they do not have to get up and open them for the clients. A memo was circulated already advising of the breech and what actions will be taken if caught. We at ASP appreciate the hard work everyone does and would appreciate if we refrained from this practice and any other practice not in line with the company policies and procedures.

Punching In/Out

This is a reminder to all employees that punching in/out is a part of your daily duties and assignments, we have discovered that this is far below compliance and while there have been numerous notifications and memos sent out, it seems as though we are still not compliant. Please note that we appreciate your efforts and understand that this helps our accounting department out a great deal if we can meet full compliance.

Also please be reminded that when signing in/out on the log sheet, sign your full name and clearly so that our resource planning and accounting team can understand, because we want to ensure that everyone is compensated for their work and time. This small request will go a long way.

Special Occurrence Reporting

We have been having some extreme challenges with the way we are writing out incident reports. We are missing out on the fundamental principles of incident reporting. The who, what, when, where, why, how. We are using conclusive writing such as “the client was being aggressive”, “and writer removed him from the site”. Other improper terms like “the writer told him to stop doing that” and “the client threatened the writer”. I am available for anyone who needs help with their incident reporting, please feel free to contact me at: abonimy@security-asp.com.

These have caused significant strains on the operation and our Resource Planning team. It is imperative that we plan our personal time and work time accordingly. While there is a provision made for employees to get rest and a break away from work, it is expected that this be done in coordination with the employment laws and the ASP’s policies.


By Russ Fox, Master Trainer

Gunther (Gunny) was born in 2015 in Israel. He came to Canada when he was 1 years old after being acquired by ASP in 2016. Gunther began his career at Pearson airport where he spent the first 6 months learning the ropes with the Master Trainer. I was hired soon after he started, and that is when Gunther and I began our career together. There were many challenges in the beginning when we were building trust and bonding with each other but we were able to persevere through. Gunther and I started our career in the commercial unit where he got to work some pretty exciting events. The TFC won the championship, the Toronto Argos won the championship, and the Toronto Raptors won the championship. Gunther got to work all the parades and events in the city leading to some pretty cool career highlights.

After three years of working the exciting commercial unit Gunther and I switched over to the aviation unit where we did patrols and unattended bag inspections at Pearson Airport. Gunther was one of the first canines to be part of the EL-AL airlines contract when ASP first received it. The airport had great opportunities and we were lucky to be a part of it. After two years at Pearson Airport there was an opportunity for Gunther and I to be a part of a new contract located in British Columbia. With Gunther always rising to the occasion I knew he would have no problem packing up and moving out West as long as we were together. Moving to BC has been an amazing experience and we were able to be a part of some successful contracts. The most notable BC moments for Gunther would be working the cruise ship contracts, taking a road trip to Edmonton to work the Juno awards, and all the fun mountain adventures we have taken. Now 10 years old, Gunther has officially started retirement and I couldn’t be happier for him. Gunther had a very exciting career and I am so lucky to have been paired with him eight years ago. I cannot wait to see what exciting adventures we are going to take together in the future. Congratulations Gunny!


By Brad MacRae, Director of K9 Services

This year marks a meaningful milestone for A.S.P. Incorporated—ten years since the launch of our K9 Unit. What began as a modest team with a bold vision has grown into Canada’s largest and most respected private canine detection service.

Our journey began in 2015, with just five handlers, five dogs, and one shared mission: to deliver specialized detection services built on professionalism, precision, and trust. From day one, we knew the road ahead wouldn’t be easy. The ambition to become the country’s leading K9 unit was a lofty goal—and one met with its fair share of skepticism. Some doubted our potential. Others tried to dismiss our presence entirely. But through determination, teamwork, and an unwavering belief in our purpose, we refused to back down.

2015 – The Beginning of a Resilient Journey

In January 2015, ASP Inc. was awarded the prestigious GTAA contract for K9 services at Toronto Pearson International Airport—a monumental opportunity that marked the beginning of a journey defined by determination, grit, and growth. Alan Cakebread, appointed as the Manager of the new K9 Unit, took the lead in building something from the ground up.

The selection process was rigorous. Candidates underwent multiple interviews, culminating in final evaluations with Oren of ICTS—an industry pioneer and founder of both ICTS and Diagnose, globally respected for his deep expertise in K9 operations. From this process, five handlers were chosen to shape the foundation of the unit:What started as a challenge quickly became a calling— and over the next decade, it would define who we are.

  • K9-1: Steve
  • K9-2: Brad
  • K9-3: Kevin
  • K9-4: Isaiah
  • K9-5: Bryden

Training began immediately. While we were all learning the ASP way, I was sent to the Canadian Police College for the Explosives Familiarization Course. Pulling up on the first day, I quickly realized I was the only civilian among a group of peace officers and bomb disposal technicians. The skepticism was palpable, and they saw a private K9 unit as unworthy of the work we were preparing for. But I didn’t back down—I showed up every day with focus and humility, breaking down walls slowly, earning respect the hard way. By the end of the week, I had passed all testing, including demolitions—proving that I belonged.

Back at home base, the anticipation was building. Our canines were on their way from France: five golden Labradors, four of them brothers—Jacky, Jahl, Johnny, and Josh. The fifth, Bakhi, was a seasoned dog with operational experience. Steve, already experienced in K9 work, was paired with Bakhi. The rest of us would be matched by drawing names from a hat, as the trainers didn’t yet know

  • Bryden with Johnny
  • Isaiah with Josh
  • Kevin with Jahl
  • Myself with Jacky

With our teams set, we embarked on an intensive 8-week basic handler course. Under the leadership of Alan and our primary trainer Don Missen—who many of you know from Transport Canada certifications—we trained alongside Master Trainers Hans and Patrick from Diagnose. Each day brought new challenges. Due to resistance from the existing K9 teams at the airport, we were relocated to a private, closed-off training site. Reaching that location was a challenge in itself: we had to load kennels, water jugs, and equipment onto baggage carts and navigate the airport’s link train system—five dogs in tow—while maintaining professionalism and discipline in a public space.

Despite our dedication, challenges emerged. With only weeks left before our May 1st launch date, three dogs— Bakhi, Jacky, and Johnny—were deemed unfit to continue. Bryden, too, was removed from the unit for not meeting the required standards. It was a tough blow, but setbacks didn’t stop us. Instead, they became fuel.

Steve and I were issued two new dogs—Boetti, a Belgian Shepherd and Billi, a Czech Shepherd—both experienced and ready to work. We pushed forward, trained harder, and refused to let anything derail our goal. Steve and I passed our validations. Isaiah and Kevin continued progressing with their canine partners.

On May 1st, 2015, our K9 Unit officially went live at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

I remember walking into the K9 Office that morning with a powerful mix of pride and anticipation. I took Billi out for a walk, feeling the full weight and significance of the day. At 0600 hours, we stepped into the terminals for our very first patrol—resilient, tested, and ready. I was assigned to Terminal 3, with Alan by my side. As we made our way through the concourse, we crossed paths with the GTAA Terminal Manager. Alan introduced us, and just as I shook her hand, I noticed her glance shift to Billi—who, at that very moment, dropped into a perfect squat and began defecating on the terminal floor.

It wasn’t exactly the strong first impression I had hoped for. I quickly apologized, handed the leash to Alan, and cleaned up the mess. At the time, I was mortified. But a decade later, it’s a story that brings a smile—a humble reminder that even on milestone days, things don’t always go to plan. And in those moments, resilience truly shows its value.

Our momentum continued to build. Isaiah and Kevin joined us on the floor, bringing strength and continuity to the team. Soon after, we welcomed our fifth handler, Emily Sutherland. She began her 8-week basic course alongside Dash, our first springer spaniel—another step in the evolution of our growing unit. What had begun as a challenge quickly became a mission—and we met it head-on.

2016 – Growth and Recognition

By 2016, our unit was gaining serious traction. We secured the Air Canada Jetz contract, conducting K9 sweeps for sports charter luggage. Not long after, we reached a significant milestone: partnering with El Al Airlines. This was no ordinary win—El Al had never outsourced security work anywhere in the world. Earning their trust was a clear signal of how far we’d come.

Next came another major opportunity: the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) contract. We began providing K9 services for the Toronto Maple Leaf’s, Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC, and the Toronto Argonauts—culminating with international exposure during the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

We faced yet another challenge when an unexpected and unannounced audit was conducted on our operational teams at MLSE. While the approach felt unfair at the time, it ultimately became a turning point. Our team rose to the occasion, demonstrating professionalism and capability under pressure. The result? A positive indication and a successful pass—with flying colours.

As with any journey marked by growth, there were changes. Kevin departed, and with Alan stepping away, Don assumed the role of manager. Our team continued to evolve. We brought on new handlers and canines, expanding both our capabilities and our camaraderie:

  • Mark Burnett & Cody
  • Christine Cook & Ranger
  • Amanda Malloy & Toka
  • Andrew Cottage & Gelfa
  • Beth Furlong & Jahl (who also served as manager for a period)

K9 Logo

That year also marked the birth of our official K9 Unit logo. Steve and I created mockups in Paint and Photoshop, drawing from the input and ideas of the entire team—all while ensuring we met security regulations. I’ve included some of our original concepts, but it was a team vote that ultimately decided the design we proudly wear today.

2017 to Present
The next chapter of our journey continues in Part 2

By Humberto Pimentel, President and CEO

As we quickly approach the halfway mark of the year, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on some of the key changes and accomplishments we’ve achieved at ASP Security Inc.

First and foremost, we bid a fond farewell to Dean Lovric, our founder and CEO at ASP Security, who has officially retired. Dean’s leadership, vision, and warm personality have left a lasting legacy, and he will be greatly missed by all of us.

April marked the successful implementation of the Planete Scheduling system—a major milestone for our organization. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our Resource Planning team, led by Manager Andrew Catney. Their hard work, adaptability, and commitment were instrumental in delivering this rollout. Of course, there were challenges along the way, but thanks to the support of our IT Project Manager, Noah Thompson, we were able to stay on track and meet our critical timelines.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that the company has submitted bids for several new contracts, both within the Greater Toronto Area and in regions beyond. These efforts are in direct alignment with our strategic goal of expanding our national footprint over the next five years. Achieving this vision will require the collective efforts and support of our entire management team, and I’m confident we are up to the task.

Thank you all for your continued dedication, resilience, and contributions to our shared success.

Introduction to Commercial Security Services in Toronto

In today’s fast-paced urban environment, ensuring the security of your business is paramount. Toronto, being a bustling metropolitan hub, faces unique security challenges that require professional and comprehensive solutions. Commercial security services provide a multi-layered approach to safeguarding assets, protecting staff, and securing premises. With experienced providers like ASP Security Services, Toronto businesses can access customized, effective security solutions designed to meet their specific needs.

Whether you’re looking to protect a corporate office, retail store, or industrial site, partnering with a reputable security company is vital. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about commercial security services in Toronto and how ASP Security Services can help secure your business effectively.

Why Businesses in Toronto Need Commercial Security Services

Rising Security Challenges for Businesses in Toronto

As Toronto continues to grow and thrive, so do the security challenges faced by local businesses. Increased urbanization has brought about concerns such as theft, vandalism, and trespassing, making it crucial for business owners to take proactive measures in protecting their assets. The presence of a professional security team can significantly deter criminal activities, providing peace of mind to business owners, employees, and customers alike.

Safeguarding Assets and Data

Beyond physical threats, businesses today also face digital risks. From protecting tangible assets like equipment, inventory, and property to safeguarding sensitive data and customer information, an integrated approach to security is vital. Solutions that combine commercial security services and technology, such as surveillance cameras, access control systems, and data security protocols, are essential to provide holistic protection for any Toronto business.

Understanding Different Types of Commercial Security Services

Manned Security Guard Services

One of the most effective forms of commercial security is having trained personnel on-site. Manned security guard services provide a physical presence that can deter criminal activities, control access points, and handle emergencies swiftly. These professionals are trained to observe, respond to threats, and maintain order, offering both security and a sense of safety to employees and visitors.

Mobile Security Patrols

Mobile security patrols are a flexible solution for larger properties or businesses requiring security over a wide area. Equipped with vehicles, these security officers can cover more ground efficiently, ensuring that multiple points of a commercial property are monitored and protected. This type of patrol is particularly beneficial for industrial sites, parking lots, and construction areas where constant movement is necessary.

Remote Monitoring and Surveillance

For 24/7 protection, remote monitoring and surveillance are crucial. ASP Security Services offers advanced technology solutions that allow continuous monitoring of your premises, even after business hours. Using a combination of CCTV cameras, alarms, and access control systems, your property is always under watch. This not only deters potential criminals but also enables rapid response in case of any suspicious activity.

Key Benefits of Hiring Professional Security Services in Toronto

Introduction to Office Building Security

Office buildings, bustling with employees, clients, and visitors, require a unique approach to security. Unlike other commercial properties, they often host multiple businesses, each with its own specific security needs. A robust security system ensures not only the safety of physical assets but also the protection of sensitive information and the well-being of everyone on the premises.

ASP Security Services, a leading provider in Toronto, specializes in delivering tailored office building security services. Their comprehensive approach integrates manned security guards, access control, surveillance systems, and more, offering peace of mind to property managers, business owners, and tenants.

Why Office Buildings Require Specialized Security Services

Specialized Security Services

Protecting Tenants, Employees, and Visitors

The first priority of office building security is the protection of all individuals who enter the premises. Professional security personnel can ensure that employees, tenants, and visitors are safe from potential threats, such as theft, vandalism, or unauthorized access. A strong security presence helps create a safe and welcoming environment for all.

Safeguarding Business Assets and Confidential Information

Office buildings often house sensitive business assets, from costly equipment to confidential documents and digital data. Inadequate security can lead to breaches that compromise business operations, resulting in financial losses and damage to reputation. Implementing professional security measures prevents unauthorized access and theft, ensuring that businesses can operate securely.

Managing Access to Different Areas of the Building

With various tenants and employees accessing the office building, it is critical to have a secure way of managing who is entering and exiting the premises. Effective access control systems, such as those offered by ASP Security Services, are essential in restricting entry to authorized individuals and protecting sensitive areas within the building.

Key Components of Office Building Security Services

Manned Security Guards for Office Buildings

Trained security personnel serve as the frontline defense for office buildings. A visible security presence not only deters potential threats but also provides quick response to any incidents. Security guards from ASP Security Services are trained to handle access control, surveillance monitoring, and emergency situations, providing a comprehensive solution for safeguarding office environments.

Mobile Patrol Services for Perimeter and Parking Security

Maintaining security in the outer areas of an office building, such as parking lots, garages, and the perimeter, is just as important as securing the interior. Mobile patrol services help in monitoring these areas, preventing unauthorized access, and ensuring the safety of vehicles and staff. Mobile patrol services by ASP Security Services are a flexible and efficient way to cover large areas, offering real-time response to any security concerns.

Access Control Systems

Access control is a critical aspect of office building security. Implementing systems such as key card access, biometric verification, and electronic locks helps manage who can enter specific areas of the building. Access control systems not only enhance security but also help in maintaining accurate records of building access, contributing to better safety protocols and visitor management.

Why Hire Professional Security for Office Buildings

Professional Security Services

Preventive Measures Against Security Threats

Professional security services are essential for implementing preventive measures that address potential risks before they escalate. Trained security guards can spot suspicious activities, assess risks, and take action to prevent security incidents from occurring. By working with experts like ASP Security Services, office buildings can ensure they are equipped to handle any security challenges effectively.

Customized Security Solutions for Your Office Building

Every office building has unique security needs based on its location, layout, and tenant requirements. Professional security providers like ASP Security Services</a> work closely with property managers to develop customized security plans. These plans are tailored to address the specific vulnerabilities of the building, ensuring comprehensive protection for tenants and visitors alike.

Peace of Mind and Professional Atmosphere

Security plays a significant role in maintaining a professional atmosphere within an office building. When security measures are visible and effective, it fosters a sense of safety among employees, tenants, and visitors. This peace of mind enables tenants to focus on their work and enhances the building’s overall reputation as a secure and well-managed property.

Effective Strategies for Office Building Security

Commercial Security

Employee and Visitor Access Management

One of the key challenges in office building security is managing the access of both employees and visitors. Implementing a structured access management system—such as issuing visitor passes, employee access cards, and maintaining a log of entry and exit—ensures that only authorized individuals can access secure areas of the building.
