Our Mission
At SCOPE Safety & Security, our mission is to inspire a safer Canada. When individuals feel confident and empowered to support one another, the likelihood and impact of potential harm in our communities diminishes. Harm can manifest in various forms—be it behavioral, medical, or psychological—beyond just the physical.
Our courses are designed not only to help individuals protect themselves but also to equip them with the skills to safeguard others.
Together, we can cultivate safer workplaces and communities.

Mike Byrne
Founder
Introducing Mike Byrne, the founder of SCOPE Safety & Security—a leader dedicated to transforming the landscape of frontline security training. In 2013, recognizing the urgent need for specialized expertise, Mr. Byrne established SCOPE to effectively empower individuals and organizations to address security challenges.
Mr. Byrne's compelling journey reflects a wealth of experience and insight. With a solid foundation in open-hand combat, he has traversed from Canada to the Republic of Ireland, opening several training locations and helping organizations with their specific risks, where he refined his communication acumen and mastered the art of persuasion in high-stress environments. His many years in the breathtaking Canary Islands further enriched his perspectives, equipping him with invaluable skills regarding escalation and a greater understanding of crisis communication. Upon returning to Calgary, Alberta, in 2009, he committed himself to the Homeless Sector—an endeavour that honed his abilities in critical communication and physical interventions while deepening his understanding of mental health issues, addictions, and complex behaviours. Some of Mr. Byrne's credentials include being a Master Instructor in Crisis intervention, a Recognized Training Provider in all levels of front-line medical response from First Aid to Tactical Emergency Casualty Care, Accredited in Mental Health and Resilience for First Responders by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, And offering all levels of the A.V.E.R.T training programs, just to name a few.
SCOPE proudly opens its doors to the public, offering access to Mr. Byrne's invaluable expertise through accredited courses, certification programs, and interactive workshops designed for all learners.
Looking ahead, SCOPE is set to expand in 2024, introducing Emergency Response Planning and Training. This new initiative will focus on vital areas that enhance public safety amidst potential threats. With Mr. Byrne's unparalleled expertise and unwavering passion, SCOPE is a pivotal resource for those determined to navigate the complexities of safety and security. Join us in taking proactive steps toward a safer, more secure future. Your journey begins here!
