Established 2026 · Toronto, Ontario

Where Policy Expertise Meets Operational Reality.

Senior strategic counsel for governments, police and fire services, critical infrastructure operators, and the technology companies that serve them — from the desk that advised Ontario’s Premier on public safety.

What Sets SA Apart

Four Pillars of Expertise

01

Senior Government Experience

Led public safety policy at the centre of government — most recently as Executive Director of Policy to the Premier of Ontario, following senior policy roles across the province, including with the Solicitor General.

02

Backed by Independent Research

The only advisory firm in Canada whose work draws on the independent research of the Public Safety Intelligence Lab. Advice grounded in evidence, not recycled consulting frameworks.

03

Technology & Procurement Fluency

Drones, digital evidence, body-worn cameras, public safety broadband — deep working knowledge of how public safety technology actually gets bought in Canada.

04

Trusted on Both Sides of the Table

Ministries, police and fire services, boards, associations, critical infrastructure operators, and the technology companies that serve them. Clients trust SA because it understands how each side thinks.

Strategic counsel, delivered directly

Three ways SA engages — each structured around direct access to senior judgment.

01

Strategic & Policy Advisory

Navigating government, reading the political moment, positioning for what’s next — counsel for decisions that can’t afford a wrong guess.

02

Procurement & Market Strategy

How public safety technology actually gets bought in Canada — and how to position, price, and propose accordingly.

03

Stakeholder & Government Navigation

The map of who decides, who influences, and who blocks — and a strategy for each.

The Research Foundation

Advice with evidence behind it

Synapse Advisory draws on the independent, non-partisan research of the Public Safety Intelligence Lab — a registered not-for-profit whose findings SA cannot direct. That independence is what makes the evidence credible.

How the Relationship Works

Every engagement begins with a direct, confidential discussion of what you’re navigating.
