Who we are
Armstrong Security, PLLC is an Illinois-licensed private security contractor agency providing armed protective services across Chicagoland.
We believe protection should be earned through training and judgment, not announced through branding. Our Agents are selected carefully, trained to a documented standard, and held accountable on every post.
Armstrong is part of the United Defense Initiative, a group of companies dedicated to the defense of American citizens through security, training, and protective services.
