My name is
Phillipe Payeur.
I'm 24 years old and was born and raised in Quebec. I have
a college degree in security and have been working in the
industry for the last 2.5 years, first in special summer events and
then in a hospital. It was a good start, but I wished to orient
my future in law enforcement area and needed to know if I had
what it took to join any police force I desired. I then heard
of "Intelligarde". No other
companies were providing the same amount of training and law
enforcement related experiences. So I packed my bags and joined
the ranks. I became an Intelligarde Security Guard and gained
a lot experience in public relations as well as street knowledge.
From Intelligarde I received all the tools necessary to perform
my duty in a safe and professional way—basic law training, self-defense, tactical
handcuffing, baton, K9 training and other work-related training.
I worked
my way up to Intelligarde’s Mobile Unit. Come on my
“virtual ride-along.”

16:00
My day starts with a briefing on the day’s events. I
pick up my equipment, my K9, and my cruiser. Throughout the
night I’ll conduct multiple patrols of different properties,
concentrating on prohibited activities, collecting information,
or simply helping visitors with a parking problem.
I arrive on site for my first patrol, a subsidized townhouse
complex. It’s a community-based patrol. My goal is to
keep high visibility and talk with tenants.
19:21 I receive a call from Dispatch: two
youths are stuck between floors in an elevator. The Fire Department
is already on site. They brief me on the situation—there are no medical emergencies. The Fire Captain
relies on me to help free the youths. I call my Dispatcher who
communicates with the elevator company, who will send someone
to rescue the youths. I give my Dispatcher a brief description
and receive an incident number that will accompany my detailed
report.

22:36 I’m dispatched to assist a nearby
static unit with a foot pursuit. I get the description and direction
of a male subject. Another mobile unit is dispatched. The male
is apprehended and put in restraints. A hostile crowd is forming.
The Police and a third Intelligarde mobile unit are dispatched
for our safety. The crowd disperses, the subject is released
to Police custody, and all units exchange info and return to
their duties.
01:12 On patrol I notice small group in the
playground with open alcohol and narcotics being smoked. I fall
back and call for another unit. My partner and his K9 arrive
and circle back to cut off the way out. We approach together
and take down name, address and D.O.B. One of the males seems
nervous and keeps changing the spelling of his name. The subject
is put under arrest for trespassing. Police verify his identity.
He is given a Provincial Offence Ticket and escorted off the
property.

03:47 A tenant in one of our buildings complains
of loud music coming from the apartment above. Upon my arrival,
I verify the situation with the tenant, then the one upstairs.
She informs me she’s having a get-together with an old
friend. I ask her to turn it down. Music is turned down.
04:45 Back at base I debrief with my fellow
agents on tonight’s events. I return my equipment and
wash my cruiser.
