About
For the past 25 years, I've proudly served as a police officer for the Toronto Police Service. For the majority of that time I've specialized in criminal investigation and community outreach. My career has been defined by a steadfast commitment to justice, victim advocacy, and crime prevention.
As a detective in the Financial Crimes Unit, I'm deeply invested in proactive measures to combat and prevent fraud. By leading targeted awareness campaigns and educational initiatives, I aim to equip individuals and communities with the tools and resources necessary to detect and avoid falling victim to fraud.
I firmly believe that “Knowledge and Awareness” is our greatest defense against fraud. That's why I'm passionate about providing comprehensive education on recognizing red flags, understanding common tactics used by fraudsters, and implementing best practices for safeguarding personal and financial information.
