Armoured One

Armoured One LLC, based in Syracuse, New York, is a security manufacturing and training company committed to safeguarding K-12 schools from active shooter threats. The company was founded in 2012 by Tom Czyz, a retired homicide detective and SWAT operator, following the tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary School. That incident, despite a record-fast police response, revealed how vulnerable even well-prepared schools can be. Motivated by this reality, Czyz’s vision was to create systems that would slow or stop an intruder, giving school staff and emergency responders crucial extra minutes to save lives. Since its inception, Armoured One has gained recognition as a company devoted to its mission of making schools safer through a combination of consulting, protective products, and staff preparedness. The company’s core offerings include thorough security assessments, active shooter response training, and proprietary security glass systems. The team at Armoured One comprises professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, the military, engineering, and education, each bringing specialized knowledge to the development and implementation of effective safety measures. Their methods are informed by analysis of real active shooter incidents, ensuring that the solutions they provide are grounded in practical experience. One of Armoured One’s most notable strengths is its ability to deliver solutions within the constraints of school budgets. Whether upgrading existing facilities with security films or working on new construction projects with advanced glass technology, the company strives to make critical safety improvements accessible and cost-effective. Their Shooter Attack Glass products are distinguished by their ability to pass every recognized simulation test, underscoring a commitment to transparency and verifiable results. Armoured One’s organizational structure is designed for comprehensive support.
