Welcome to Radius Radio

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Radius Radio, the official Radius Security podcast where security meets insight. In each episode, we’ll dive into real stories, industry challenges, and the innovations shaping security across Canada and the U.S.

Our first guest is Mario Giardini, Radius Security’s Law Enforcement Liaison, who brings over 28 years of policing experience with the Vancouver Police Department. Mario shares his journey, the critical role he plays at Radius, and how his expertise strengthens partnerships with both clients and law enforcement.

If you’ve ever wondered what makes Radius different, or why our police response rates are the best in the industry, this episode is a must-listen.

Meet Mario Giardini: From Policing to Radius Security

Mario spent nearly three decades with the Vancouver Police Department, serving in diverse roles from undercover surveillance and major crime investigations to youth outreach and diversity policing. After retiring in 2016, he continued to contribute to public safety with the Province of British Columbia before joining Radius Security as our Law Enforcement Liaison.

Today, Mario acts as a bridge between clients, operators, and police agencies. His job is to ensure incidents are followed up quickly, reports are accurate, and law enforcement gets the support they need; whether that’s video evidence, keyholder access, or critical on-site details.

Why Law Enforcement Trusts Radius Security

One of the standout insights from the podcast is the staggering difference in false alarm rates across the industry.

  • Industry average false alarm rate: 98%
  • Radius Security false alarm rate: Just 0.4%

That means when Radius calls, police know they’re responding to a real incident. This reliability (combined with Mario’s relationships with police departments) has earned Radius unmatched trust in the industry.

How Clients Can Improve Site Security

Mario also shared practical advice for businesses looking to strengthen their security:

  • Secure your perimeter: Use proper clamps and locks on fencing.
  • Invest in lighting: Well-placed lights act as a natural deterrent.
  • Leverage signage: Reflective signs make it clear a site is monitored.
  • Engrave tools and track inventory: Helps with recovery and lowers insurance costs.
  • Be a reliable keyholder: Quick access for law enforcement can prevent further loss.

These simple, low-cost steps can save businesses thousands by preventing downtime, protecting tools, and avoiding costly insurance hikes.

Reporting That Makes a Difference

Accurate, timely, and concise reporting is at the heart of Radius’ service. Operators provide:

  • Real-time updates during incidents
  • Clear suspect descriptions and clothing details
  • Information on weapons, tools, and vehicles
  • Screenshots to aid quick identification

This level of detail doesn’t just support police investigations, it gives clients peace of mind, knowing every incident is documented and communicated effectively.

Looking Ahead

Radius Radio is just getting started. This podcast will highlight the people behind our company, share expert perspectives, and provide security insights for industries across North America.
