With a distinguished 25-year career in Canadian law enforcement, Dave Sweet is a retired homicide detective and now a respected consultant, author, and speaker. Beginning as a patrol officer, Dave’s trajectory led him into undercover work, task forces targeting gangs and organized crime, and ultimately a 14-year tenure in the homicide unit of a large western Canadian law enforcement agency.
Throughout his service, Dave led investigations into some of Canada’s most complex and challenging cases, gaining national attention for his investigative acumen. His work is grounded in rigorously tested evidence-based methods and a commitment to preventing crime before it happens.
Today, Dave channels his frontline experience into meaningful consulting for businesses, property managers, and organizations. His unique blend of investigative insight and practical prevention strategy offers a rare perspective rarely available outside of law enforcement. His best-selling books Skeletons in My Closet- Life Lessons from a Homicide Detective and Undaunted – Dark Tales of Courage along with his popular true-crime podcast The Ride Along further amplify his voice.
Guided by the principle of “leave people better than you find them,” Dave’s work is more than consulting—it’s a mission to transform risk into resilience, fewer incidents into safer communities, and reactive responses into proactive strategies.
