Good luck and congratulations! After many years of dedicated service, Joshua Hopton received an opportunity in Military Policing.

We thank Joshua for his constant dedication and wish him all the best as he moves forward in the next chapter in his life.

As we go into spring, ASP is managing the security services contract for our high-profile client, Brookfield Properties, at the site of Bay Adelaide Centre (BAC).

BAC is soon-to-be the largest commercial/financial towers in the Toronto downtown core/Financial District.

Ms. Erin Deslippe is ASP’s Site Supervisor, overseeing all operational aspects of her present buildings and team of approximately 32 full-time guards, shift supervisors and 10 part-time guards.

The Residential/Commercial Division is very proud to retain such a strong and loyal leader. Erin has that natural ability to build strong relationships with her team, creating that strong, engaged team spirit that you just can’t train for!

Erin easily shines as an operational leader in our niche industry, due to her police foundations, educational background and her many years of security frontline and leadership experience.

We are very appreciative and supportive of Erin’s day-to-day efforts and all of her strong team’s due diligence in getting the job done!

Thank you, Erin and your awesome team! Keep up the great work!

I wanted to take this time to introduce a Site Supervisor worthy of getting to know: Michelle Roy.

Michelle has been with ASP since November 2018 and she has taken on the role of Site Supervisor at St. Lawrence Market.
She has shown great leadership and dependability for the past four months, with praise from both her coworkers and client. We have definitely chosen the right person for this job. She has over nine years of experience in the security industry and it shows on every shift.

In 1991, she enlisted in the Queens Own Rifles as a Private, where she served as admissions assistant. She then worked with Toronto Police as a co-op student, learning valuable lessons from both experiences, whether it was defusing a tense situation, or using her customer service experience to help a customer or tenant.

Michelle has made a big impact and she shows it with a great ability in creating a comfortable and calming environment at St. Lawrence Market. She leads by example to all guards working at this location, by always being ready to put in the extra time when the site needs the help without a second thought, by creating procedures and standards for her guards to use when she is not on site, and by always being available for questions when she is not on the clock.

Her leadership has not gone unnoticed, Michelle has put in her time and shown great promise. Great job, Michelle!!

This quarter’s article highlights the career of Ramakrishna Malkapuram, and his long-standing dedication to ASP

As an employee with ASP for over nine years, Ramakrishna’s initiative has enabled him to continuously grow within the company. Prior to his years with us, Ramakrishna began his career in Security with the Superior Court of Justice in 2009 – the place where his passion for security and law enforcement began.

Ramakrishna Malkapuram, Training Coordinator.

Interested in Aviation, Ramakrishna sought a role in Access Control with ASP in 2010 at Billy Bishop Toronto Centre
Airport. It took him less than a year to shine as a leader for our company, as he was shortly thereafter promoted to Supervisor at Toronto Pearson International Airport (Toronto Pearson). Ramakrishna continued to grow and develop until his next challenge was accepted.

In 2015, Ramakrishna was chosen to participate in the Behavioral Recognition Training course – a requirement for all Specialist and Canine team members. It was at this point when Ramakrishna continued to shine and display his ever-present interest in advancements within ASP As a result, he was selected as a Casual Specialist at Toronto Pearson. In 2016, Ramakrishna was selected as a Casual Access Control Training Coordinator, to provide support to David Ramlagan as guard volume increased.

It was here that it became obvious Ramakrishna’s knowledge in policy and procedural requirements made him an excellent choice for Training Coordinator, alongside David Ramlagan, and in 2018, Ramakrishna was made the permanent Training Coordinator for the Aviation Security Division in Toronto Pearson.

“Ramakrishna has been one of the most dedicated members of the ASP team and continues to set the bar high, by accomplishing his set goals with an unwavering, positive attitude that some deem absolutely infectious in the work place, making him an absolute pleasure to work with. He is the definition of passion and work ethic, which is continuously recognized through numerous awards and promotions throughout his years with ASP”

Ramakrishna, thank you for everything you do daily for our company!

Pease join me in extending best wishes to Frederik Babani, who retired from ASP on March 31st, 2019.

Frederik has been an esteemed member of ASP for 11 years and he has always been a diligent worker. Although he will be sorely missed and impossible to replace, he has more than earned the right to spend more time with his loved ones. Please join me as I extend our warmest wishes for the future to Frederik and his family.

A few words from Frederik:

“I would like to thank you and all the management staff from Burlington Office and Pearson Airport Office for all the great opportunities and experiences I have had at Pearson Airport

ASP provides now so many different quality services and there are so many young and old age guards with so much diversity of experiences. There are many upright accomplishments, but I would like to highlight one example of the great work, the website aspinc.ispringlearn.com. It is a very powerful training resource for the new and old guards to provide and refresh their knowledge.

While I look forward to enjoying my retirement, I know that I will miss ASP – Company. I will remember always the old times working with you and I wish you well in your business and personal life.”
