Background

About David Radford

With over 20 years of combined experience in security and risk management, I serve as a Physical Security Specialist with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). I hold the Certified Protection Professional (CPP), Physical Security Professional (PSP), and Canadian Risk Management (CRM) designations, which I leverage daily to support, guide, and communicate on all matters related to integrated security and risk strategies. Before joining the OPP, I was the Manager of the National Security Operations Center (NSOC) at Purolator Inc, one of Canada’s premier courier and logistics companies. My responsibilities included overseeing national security operations and ensuring the integrity of critical infrastructure and assets. I also maintain a long-standing commitment to the Canadian Forces through the Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC), where I focus on youth leadership, survival training, instruction, and sailing. My core strengths include leadership, commercial insurance, and business management, and I am deeply passionate about advancing safety and security through a balanced and effective enterprise risk management approach. Driven by curiosity and continuous improvement, I thrive on learning new skills, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and contributing meaningfully to my organization’s mission and vision.
