Paul Derry

At the young age of 15, Paul Derry was cultivated by the RCMP to act as an informant and, in later years, as an agent. Paul went from being a petty drug dealer in those formative years to ending his career with a Hells Angels ordered murder. 

​

Paul's colourful past has given him a unique perspective on topics such as recidivism and change. Paul once managed a criminal empire rooted in greed and violence, later turning from this lifestyle to one of giving back and advocacy. 

As an author, interactive speaker, and former RCMP Informant, Paul Derry demonstrates, using his hard-won wisdom and life experience, how the concepts of trust, loyalty, and master manipulation impact every sphere of human life.

​

Paul frequently discusses policing, courts, prison reform, undercover work, and issues that impede the justice system; his more passionate discussions revolve around the folly of Canada's Witness Protection Program.

​

As an advocate, he focuses a great deal on transferable skills, teaching those coming out of the prison system, those on the street, or businesses how all talents and experiences that a person has mastered in an underhanded way can be used to succeed on the right side of the law.

​

Paul was pardoned in 2010 and now speaks on various topics for police forces, criminology classes, churches, schools, and businesses of all sizes.  

​

Since 2002, Paul has worked with multiple non-profits, including a street ministry working to take child prostitutes off the streets. He has worked to rehabilitate those with drug addictions. He has assisted others with criminal records to find meaningful employment and develop the life skills and relationships vital to breaking the incarceration cycle.
