Justin Hanson Canadian Law Enforcement Leader, Executive Protection Unit; Warrant Officer, Military Police; President of SpecVIP Protection Group Inc.

Welcome back to the Wheels Up Podcast. Today Troy and Ben are
joined with Justin Hanson, CD.   Through 27 years working with
law enforcement, and the military with multiple deployments
internationally and domestically, he’s honed both hard and soft
skills. He’s trained thousands of soldiers, military police and
other law enforcement personnel.   What hasn't Justin done in
Executive Protection from running multinational operations to
training some of the best agents in the world in the art of
Dignitary protection. He’s passionate about sharing his extensive
knowledge not just with those in the industry, but with regular
civilians. Through SpecVIP Protection Group Inc., he offers
courses covering the basics of personal protection, including
self-defence and travel preparation. Not only is he a stand out in
the field, he's also a straight up hero. This is a much shortened
piece on his bravery during an active shooter situation.

Justin Hanson was cleaning up after his child’s second birthday
party when he heard what he initially thought was fireworks. But
when he looked across the lake bordering his home, he saw an
active shooter. Hanson is the type of person you want at such a
scene. With two decades of experience in personal security, he
directed guests to take cover, helped the police control the
scene and administered first aid to the victims. Later, when
everything was over, his neighbours remained afraid. Hanson
responded by creating the Edmonton Safe & Secure Project — a
collection of Facebook groups for neighbourhoods throughout the
city — to keep people as informed as possible about safety and
security in their area.
