The Canadian Tactical Training Academy, a leader in the worldwide training of peace and law enforcement officers, is pleased to announce that Ronald E. Myles has been selected to serve as a member of the Board of Advisors for the company.

The Board of Advisors, chosen for their demonstrated interest in and support of the company, are committed industry experts who serve as advocates for the company by promoting its goals, counseling company management, assisting with sales, introducing new initiatives, and publicizing the company. The Board is composed of some of the industry’s most renowned training innovators, counter-terrorist experts, and former high-ranking government agents. Mr. Myles will commence an initial one-year term on the board starting on May 11, 2010.

Today Ronald Myles stated, `I am pleased to be part of the CTTA team and look forward to using my expertise to assist the company in a time when the security and well being of free and democratic nations is under threat.

Prior to becoming a member of CTTA’s Board of Advisors, Mr. Myles, a graduate of Concordia University, served in the intelligence community starting with the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) where he was assigned to the surveillance unit of its Security Service. In the late 1970s Mr. Myles was assigned to the counter-terrorist desk in Montreal as an investigator and then as head of an operational unit. In 1984 the Security Service of the RCMP became, by decree, the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS). Mr. Myles continued his career with CSIS until his retirement in 1997.

As an investigator, Mr. Myles conducted interviews, recruited and handled informants / collaborators within various ethnic communities; the main objective being to assess the threat posed to the national security by terrorist groups and general espionage. As a unit head, Mr. Myles was responsible for a group of investigators and communications analysts.

Liaison and the exchange of information with other organizations of the intelligence community is a crucial part in determining emerging trends relating to the CSIS mandate whether on the counter-terrorist or the counter-espionage investigations. In this capacity, Mr. Myles represented CSIS in many of the international and national conferences.

FBI: 56 Police Officers Killed in 2010

That number is up eight from 2009
(article from www.lawofficer.com)
WASHINGTON — The FBI says 56 law enforcement officers were murdered on duty last year, up eight from 2009.

All but one of the 56 officers was slain by someone using a gun. Thirty-eight of them were wearing body armor when killed. The only officer who wasn't a victim of firearms was killed with a vehicle.
Fifteen officers were killed in ambushes, eight were investigating suspicious persons, seven were killed in traffic pursuits or stops and six were responding to disturbance calls. Preliminary FBI figures show the rest were killed during other police work.
Separately, 72 officers were killed in accidents, a 50 percent jump over 2009 when 48 officers died in accidents. For 2009, both the number of officers slain feloniously and those accidentally killed was 48.

In memory of a friend, mentor and brother

In remembrance of a great pioneer and a lost brother in arms.

Today, May 11, marks the anniversary of the death of one of the greatest instructors in the field of tactical and police training in Canada, our brother in arms and mentor, Craig H. Best.

Those who were fortunate to know and be trained by him will remember his passion for our field, his kindness, his great ability, and his contagious laughter.

Craig was one of the greatest instructor trainers in North America.  He made a mark in

the history of the tactical police training in Quebec which permitted for many of us to grow in this area and to achieve instructor status in the best systems.

We thank him for everything that he accomplished and we offer him our gratitude and our love. Craig, we miss you dearly and will never forget you.

Jocelyn Moisan, Angelo Marino, Giovanni Farinaccio, Andrew Dugdale.

En souvenir d’un grand pionnier et d’un de nos frères d’armes disparus.

Aujourd’hui le 11 mai, marque l’anniversaire du décès de l’un des meilleurs instructeurs dans le domaine de la formation tactique et policière au Canada, notre frère d’armes et mentor, Craig H. Best.

Ceux qui ont eu la chance de le connaître et d’être entraîné par lui se souviendront de sa passion pour notre domaine, de sa bonté, de sa très grande compétence et bien sûr, de son rire contagieux!

Craig fût l’un des plus grands entraîneurs d’instructeur en Amérique du Nord. Il a marqué l’histoire de la formation tactique policière au Québec, ce qui a permit à beaucoup d’entre nous de grandir dans ce domaine et d’atteindre des statuts d’instructeur dans les meilleurs systèmes.

Nous tenons à le remercier pour tout ce qu’il a accompli et lui témoigner notre gratitude et notre amour. Craig, tu nous manques tellement et nous ne t’oublierons jamais.
