Chronicles 8: on-duty deaths

Reporting violence against security professionals that might have been prevented by training and tools.

In December 2019, Peter Simov was found dead on Champagne Drive in North York. Police now say that Simon died after being shot by a “ghost gun” while working in Toronto’s troubled tow truck industry. No-one has been arrested or charged with Simov’s murder.

Security professionals are expected to engage in challenging, dangerous, and litigious situations. They are unprepared in terms of their training, and in the tools they carry. Training might have helped deflect the attack.
