Armoured One LLC is a Syracuse-based security manufacturing and training company focused on protecting K-12 schools from active shooter threats. Established in 2012 by Tom Czyz, a retired homicide detective and SWAT operator, Armoured One was created in response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy. This event highlighted gaps in school security, demonstrating that even with a rapid police response, lives could still be lost if proper security measures weren’t in place. Czyz’s core vision for the company was to delay or prevent attacker entry, giving staff and first responders precious time to act and save lives. Over time, Armoured One has developed a reputation for being a mission-driven company that provides security consulting, physical protection, and staff training. The company’s primary services include security assessments, active shooter response training, and the installation of advanced security glass systems. These services are delivered by a team composed of experts from military, law enforcement, engineering, and education backgrounds, all drawing on real-world experience and data from past incidents. A distinctive feature of Armoured One’s approach is its focus on practical, budget-conscious solutions. The company can secure existing school buildings with security films or provide advanced security glass for new construction and renovations. This flexibility makes security upgrades accessible to schools with different financial capabilities. Armored One’s shooter-resistant glass products have successfully passed every recognized attack simulation, setting them apart as some of the most rigorously tested solutions on the market. Armoured One’s organizational structure reflects its specialized focus. The leading company handles security film and assessments, while Armoured One Glass LLC manufactures the security glass. Maria Czyz, Tom’s wife and a retired teacher, leads ONE Training LLC, which equips teachers and staff with practical threat response tactics through scenario-based training. Together, these organizations provide a comprehensive suite of safety solutions, ensuring seamless service and brand consistency. The company’s reach has grown significantly, impacting over 100 million lives through its products and services. Armoured One saw more than 110% growth last year, a testament to the trust and demand it has earned from school districts nationwide. The company advocates for rigorous industry testing standards and insists on full-scale, real-world attack simulations for its products. Its support doesn’t end with product installation; Armoured One offers ongoing assessments, training, and tailored recommendations. Armoured One’s commitment to community is also reflected in its response to broader crises. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company adapted its resources to manufacture and donate face shields to frontline workers. This flexibility underscores its core values of integrity, safety, quality, and a sense of duty. Armoured One’s integrated, data-driven model—combining planning, training, and physical security—has established it as a trusted leader in school safety. With transparent performance standards and an unwavering commitment to protecting children, Armoured One continues to set the bar for practical, proven, and holistic security solutions.
