During his assignment there, he dealt with some of the most notorious and dangerous inmates in Canada's history, such as Clifford Olson and others as bad as Paul Bernardo and Russell Williams. He was part of several hostage incidents and was taken hostage himself once.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stress of his job manifested itself in a variety of physical and emotional injuries, and he found himself forced to take time off to recover.
