Armoured One

Armoured One LLC is a U.S. security company focused on protecting schools and other facilities from active-shooter attacks. According to its own account, the company was founded in the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, evolving from a response to that event into a specialist provider of school security. Its mission statement is explicit: "save lives during an active shooter attack." The company describes itself as the nation's leading expert in school security and reports rapid growth, including 110% growth in a single year and an impact on over 100 million lives in recent years. Armoured One's offering combines physical hardening with preparedness. It installs security film and glass designed to slow an attacker and buy time for police response, and it says it secures thousands of windows weekly for K-12 schools across America. Alongside these products, the company provides vulnerability assessments conducted by security experts and training programs that teach staff and school resource officers to react quickly and effectively to threats. Its training arm is branded ONE Training LLC. The company emphasizes that its products are tested against shooter attacks and claims to be the only one on the market to pass every shooter attack test and obtain all relevant certifications. The firm draws on a team that includes special forces veterans, federal agency personnel, engineers, architects, and school staff and administrators. CEO Tom Czyz is the public face of the company, appearing in videos explaining how Armoured One slows attackers and speeds police response, and why schools need training. The company has received media attention from outlets including The Washington Post, The New York Times, NBC, ABC, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Fox News, NPR, and HBO. In 2023 it marked its 10th anniversary with a visit from Sandy Hook survivor and first-grade teacher Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis, whose actions during the 2012 shooting inspired the company's mission. Armoured One operates primarily in the United States, serving K-12 schools and other organizations. It publishes educational content on topics such as UL bullet-resistance levels and school security, positioning itself as both a vendor and an advocate for safer educational environments.

Armoured One LLC was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting of 2012. The company's own history states that its journey "began not as a business venture but as a crusade against the forces that threaten the sanctity of educational environments." The 10th anniversary material in 2023 ties the founding to that pivotal moment, and the company describes a full-circle moment when Sandy Hook survivor and first-grade teacher Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis visited to mark the anniversary.
