Summary

I wish to be considered for the posted position of Section 73 2i/c. I believe my previous management experience as a Commander with the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, suits me well to fill this role. I have worked as a security guard for Commissionaires Ottawa for the past 8+ years and have gained the necessary knowledge understanding the role of a security guard. This mixed with my previous management experience, I believe makes me the perfect candidate.
