Provincial Retailer
A regional grocery chain was bleeding 2.4% to an organized retail-crime ring. Plainclothes officers on a mirrored rotation cut shrink to 0.7% in one quarter.
Territorial Government
Reliability-cleared, Inuktitut-speaking officers for a five-community ministerial tour — mobilized inside eight weeks, zero incidents across fourteen event days.
Oil, Gas & Pipeline
A 400-bed camp with rotating contractor crews needed gate discipline that survived turnover. Digitized manifests and arrival-day orientations did it.
