incident at Sandy Hook, despite a rapid police response, revealed the need for better preventive measures in schools. Tom Czyz envisioned a solution that would buy crucial time for staff and first responders, ultimately working to save lives.

Armoured One quickly established itself as a leader in school security by combining consulting, physical security measures, and staff preparedness. The company’s primary offerings include comprehensive security assessments, active shooter response training, and state-of-the-art security glass systems. These services are delivered by a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in law enforcement, the military, architecture, and education, ensuring recommendations are practical and based on real-life scenarios.

The company is recognized for its ability to adapt to a range of school budgets, offering both security films for existing structures and advanced glass for new or renovated facilities. Tom Czyz, along with his wife, Maria, a retired educator and now the head of ONE Training LLC, has assembled a diverse team of security professionals, special operations veterans, and educators. This enables Armoured One to create actionable, scenario-driven plans that reflect the realities faced by schools nationwide.

ONE Training LLC, led by Maria Czyz, operates in conjunction with Armoured One, delivering research-based, scenario-driven training for teachers and staff. Meanwhile, Armoured One Glass LLC handles the manufacturing of security glass. Though these are distinct entities, they work seamlessly under the Armoured One brand, providing a unified approach to school safety and maintaining brand consistency.

Armoured One has grown to be a trusted partner for schools nationwide, impacting more than 100 million people through its solutions. Its shooter-resistant glass has passed every recognized attack simulation, and the company’s transparent demonstrations help schools understand precisely what they’re investing in. This transparency, coupled with live product testing, sets Armoured One apart from competitors.

Beyond security products, the company stepped up during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, quickly repurposing materials to produce and donate face shields for frontline workers. This adaptability illustrates Armoured One’s broader commitment to community well-being.

Today, Armoured One LLC continues to expand, with its products and training used by thousands of schools and educators across the United States. Guided by values such as integrity, safety, and excellence, the company’s integrated approach to planning, training, and protection remains focused on a single goal: making schools safer for everyone.
