About the Winner
Vipasha Sharma, Condor Security
On 17 April 2020, Sharma, assigned at a downtown Toronto, Ontario condominium, responded to four major events simultaneously: a domestic dispute, a fire, a flood, and the death of a resident. Sharma heroically saved the life of one of the residents by separating a victim from a violent assailant. Once confident that the victim was safe, she quickly turned her attention to dealing with a live fire incident and major water leak, caused by the suspected assailant, which required a full building evacuation. Sharma’s quick thinking, calm demeanor during a crisis, and bravery were critical to saving the life of the attack victim and ensuring that all building residents remained calm and evacuated safely before additional lives and property were damaged.
Sharma has been in the security industry for two years and has completed many additional voluntary and advanced training programs offered by her employer. She is highly respected and is esteemed by her colleagues and the community she serves for her level of professionalism and attention to detail in performing her duties. She is motivated by the opportunity to learn new things, to develop creative ideas to improve processes, to analyze complex data to draw clear and efficient conclusions, and to work with a team to achieve collective goals.

He previously served as a Counterterrorism Operations Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency and held several leadership roles with Target Corporation prior to joining Facebook.
In the words of his nominator, Mike Allen, CSO, Manulife: “I had the pleasure of following Nick online several years ago and was impressed with his transparent sharing of best practices. I finally had the pleasure at hearing him speak at GSX a few years ago and knowing some of his team, began benchmarking with them on events and ideas. I finally connected with Nick in person at the CSO Summit in Minneapolis and was astonished at how open, honest, and down to earth he was. He spoke about not only security professionals, but their organizations needing to work together on moving global objectives forward to do great things.
For the next 4 years my team or I could not attend an event from Canada to the US without having Nick or one of his team speaking, mentoring, moderating etc. Nick travelled to ASIS Europe to participate and continuously shows that the protection of people and the enterprise has no boundaries. Nick has made himself available at the GSX Career Center and encourages a work environment where both he and his team can continue to build on their skills. Under his leadership, his security program has become a center of excellence. As a CPP, Nick has demonstrated his commitment to both the security industry and to give back. Nick is a busy CSO in his day to day life – he encourages diversity, education, collaboration and makes the time to keep giving back. I am personally inspired by his tenacity and vigor and believe he should be the recipient in 2020.”

About the Award

About the Winner
In Strategic Security, Jean Perois argues that security professionals too often approach their roles through a reactive lens rather than a proactive one—serving more as “firefighters” than as strategists. The book looks to help security managers think strategically about their job, the culture of their workplace, and the nature of security planning and implementation.

About the Winner
Glendale, AZ Police Department
Retail theft in Circle K Convenience Store properties in the City of Glendale, AZ, had become a problem. Working together with ASU and Circle K management, the Glendale Police Department was able to begin bringing video feed from 18 Circle K store properties into the Police Department’s newly developed Real Time Crime Center (RTCC), the first in the Phoenix area.
When there is a call for service at a Circle K property, the Police Department is now capable of accessing Circle K in-store cameras, which provide officers with vital information along with immediate updates as to what is occurring at the incident location. Based on monthly data analysis, the Police Department can have officers adjust their proactive enforcement in areas where an increase in crime trends is shown and they can work directly with affected businesses to develop realistic solutions.
As a result of this cooperative effort with Circle K, the Glendale, AZ Police Department has increased its joint partnerships with other key business partners. The project also provided a blueprint for other Phoenix-area agencies and businesses to create new relationships and increase their partnerships to create safer communities.

About the Winner
Strategic Security: Forward Thinking for Successful Executives by Jean Perois, CPP
In Strategic Security, Juan Perois argues that security professionals too often approach their roles through a reactive lens rather than a proactive one—serving more as “firefighters” than as strategists. The book looks to help security managers think strategically about their job, the culture of their workplace, and the nature of security planning and implementation.
