Dan Pantaleo is a former Toronto Police officer and the driving force behind CanGuard Security. With decades of experience in law enforcement and private security, Dan founded CanGuard to extend his commitment to public safety on a broader scale.

Beyond business, Dan is deeply community-minded. He has volunteered with the Crime Prevention Association of Toronto and served as a guest lecturer at Ontario Tech University, sharing real-world insights with criminology and sociology students. His leadership is rooted in mentorship, service, and a passion for empowering others.

“Be focused on who you are, your core belief, and what you can give back to society. Then translate that into a productive business that allows you to be an employer and a mentor.”

Training & Education

CanGuard is a recognized training entity with a ZERO failure rate in its online licensing programs. Their Advanced Surveillance Course offers 80% hands-on fieldwork, preparing candidates for real-world success. They also offer B2B training partnerships, enabling other agencies to resell CanGuard’s proven training programs under their own brand.

Dan turned to BACD for help with marketing—and found much more. BACD provided strategic advice, direction, and support that helped CanGuard grow its client base and manage operations more effectively.

“BACD gave me a tremendous amount of advice and direction. It allowed me to grow accounts and manage customers more effectively.”
