Speaker Bio
On December 14, 2012, our nation was devastated by the news that twenty first-graders and six adults had been murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary. As a
father, husband of an English teacher, active shooter expert, SWAT operator, and homicide detective, Tom Czyz realized he couldn’t protect his own family. He knew something needed to be done to protect America’s schools, so he founded Armoured One LLC, a company dedicated to ending the story of active shooters. He put together the best active shooter experts he could find from SWAT, military special forces, federal agents, and school staff to create a company that would save lives.
Since that time, Tom and his team of investigators have responded to sixty K-12 school shootings, including Sandy Hook, Parkland, Santa Fe, Uvalde, and Newport News. His team produces debriefs and presentations from these investigations to educate school administrators, first responders, architects, and politicians about how to survive school staff positions to empower them to save students’ lives during a shooting.
He achieved his greatest feat when one of the schools that Armoured One and ONE Training assisted was attacked without any injuries or deaths. It serves as proof that proper training, notification, and hardening of products can save lives.
Armoured One is now known as America’s School Active Shooter Company. Tom is currently the Chairman of the Board for the National Safety Security Protection Association, a non-profit that helps
states create minimal standards for security. Tom is recognized nationally and internationally for his expertise in active shooter, school security, and motivational speaking. His work has been featured by
The New York Times, Rolling Stones, Forbes Magazine, HBO, Viewpoint, and numerous local, national, international, and global news outlets. He has presented nationwide to government officials and school associations for superintendents, school board members, facilities, and transportation. He
has also collaborated with and trained local and federal law enforcement. Tom has worked tirelessly for ten years to protect America’s schools from active shooter attacks. His work has been acknowledged by school leaders, government leaders, and Fortune 500 business leaders, but more importantly, by the families of the lives he has helped save.
