Toronto Security Professionals Recognized for Their Life-Saving Actions

July 20, 2023

On Jan. 23, 2023, the Toronto Community Housing Community Safety Unit hosted an award ceremony to recognize five Allied Universal Security Professionals for their life-saving actions while on duty. 

On Sept. 6, 2022, Security Professionals Asad and Balvinder responded to a report of an unconscious person. Upon arrival at the scene, they found a male who was unresponsive and not breathing and another male in distress. 

Asad quickly began CPR while Balvinder contacted 911 and assisted the man in distress. After approximately five minutes of CPR, the unconscious victim started breathing and regained consciousness prior to the arrival of emergency medical services. 

While conducting courtesy welfare checks on vulnerable, senior-aged tenants on Dec. 4, 2022, Security Professionals Rakesh and Ramandeep made several failed attempts to contact one of the tenants. After growing concerned, Rakesh and Ramandeep escalated the situation to the Community Safety Unit (CSU) for assistance. CSU arrived and found the tenant in need of immediate medical assistance. He was transported to the hospital for treatment. 

On Dec 11, 2022, Security Professional Sudarshan responded to a report of an unconscious tenant. Sudarshan immediately ran to the location and found a man lying face down in a hallway in a pool of blood and not breathing. Sudarshan contacted 911 and began CPR until the tenant regained consciousness. The victim was transported to hospital. 

Congratulations to this team of exemplary employees on this well-deserved recognition of your commitment to our core values, clients and the residents of Toronto Community Housing.
