Tom Czyz, a now retired Homicide Detective and SWAT team operator founded Armoured One in response to the Sandy Hook massacre. He brought together a team of experts in active shooter attacks from SWAT Team operators, elite military personnel, federal agents, and educators with the intention of protecting schools and preventing the loss of lives during mass shooting attacks.  Armoured One then collaborated with teachers and school administrators to create a real solution for school attacks. Through this collaboration came the business and manufacturing of security film and glass as well as offering services in security assessments and training.
