He is a Canadian professional strongman who also works as a police officer. But he's not your average lawman, standing 6ft 3in and weighing in at more than 300 pounds. The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) even describes him as "the strongest cop in Canada".

Tristain told GlobalNews: “I love my job. I love helping out and I love what I can do in the community.”. He joined the EPS in 2018, where he currently serves as a constable. It was during his time there that Tristain began seriously training for strength competitions.
Speaking about the support he gets from his police colleagues, he explained: “I really couldn’t ask for more, I’m able to compete and call myself one of the top 10 strongest men in the world, it’s unbelievable and overwhelming.”. Tristain believes strongman and policing go hand-in-hand, as he explained to the Edmonton Journal: "In order to compete at a high level you have to be able to control your emotions, your body, your heart rate, and it coincides with policing because you’re going to high [stress] calls or incidents that are already in progress and you have to be able to control your variables and carry yourself in different ways.”.
