PETER SLOLY BIOGRAPHY
Peter Sloly is a thought leader and a wisdom sharer – a truth seeker and a dynamic speaker – a servant leader and a change maker – a peacekeeper and a crime fighter – an insightful author and an authentic storyteller – a passionate educator and a lifelong learner.
Peter has wowed and won over domestic and international audiences in his two decades of experience doing keynote speeches, delivering university guest lecturers, participating as a subject matter expert at federal committees/commissions, being interviewed on mainstream/social media, authoring OpEds in national newspapers, and featuring in a TedX Toronto Talk.
Despite intense periods of stress, struggle, and strife Peter has enjoyed four successful careers. Careers that include being a professional athlete who played for the Canadian men’s national soccer team, a private sector business executive with a global professional services firm, and an Adjunct Professor at one of the worlds top universities.
Peter is celebrated most for his policing career in which dedicated most of his life to serving and protecting the public while promoting and protecting their rights.
Peter rose through the ranks to become a deputy chief in Toronto. He also participated in international policing missions that included serving two tours of duty in the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Kosovo. Peter was appointed as the police chief in the nation’s capital and spent the majority of his tenure leading during an unrelenting and unprecedented Polycrisis period that included the Freedom Convoy events. Peter made the risky decision to play a national leadership role in challenging and changing the policing and justice system – in modernizing a 20th century institution and its culture into something fit for purpose to face the realities of our 21st century society. Peter’s dedication, innovation, and compassion is why he is widely recognized as one of the most impactful police leaders of his generation and why he was invested as an “Officer of the Order of Merit” (Police Forces) by Canada’s Governor General.
Peter’s presentations give his audiences an unfiltered, unflinching front row seat into some of the most high-profile policing, public safety, national security, global terrorism events of the past three decades. He leverages his personal lived experience and his professional expertise to share deep insights with his audiences into the growing structural deficits that exist in the country’s justice system and Canada’s social safety net. Peter provides firsthand evidence of dire public safety disruptions and potential social justice solutions inherent in exponential technologies, including AI, Peter courageously exposes the increasing levels of institutional dysfunction and social polarization that are undermining our society and our democracy. He boldly addresses the impacts of geo-political events on the changing nature of public protests and personal incivility in our country. Last, but not least, Peter brilliantly outlines the vexing challenges that leaders of good conscience face when they attempt to transform their organizations and reform their cultures during the ongoing period of populist politicians and global Polycrisis.
Peter concludes his sessions with a recipe for leadership resilience and brilliance along with a clarion call to action for all Canadians to join him in his professional mission to develop ethical change leaders, socially just communities, smart safe cities, and a sustainable civil society.
Peter is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and the Canadian Forces College “National Strategic Security Studies” program. He has an MBA from York University, a BA in Sociology from McMaster University, and a PhD from the “School of Life”.
Peter’s personal motto is “others before self, compassion for all”. Peter was born in Jamaica, immigrated to Canada, and resides in Ontario with his wife and two children.
