    About Shield Security Systems

    Thank you for your interest in owning a SHIELD Security Systems franchise.

    We are a privately held, family-owned business that prides itself on providing personalized service to our customers. Owner Ken Jezioro understands customers’ needs because he founded SHIELD Security Systems after experiencing a burglary at his own home. He was so frustrated by the limited number of affordable security options that he built his own.

    Ken used his prior experience in law enforcement and electronic security to establish the SHIELD Security Systems brand. Our unique background, commitment to clients, customized security solutions and lack of long-term contracts are unmatched in the industry. We are looking for people like you who share our vision and want to grow their own security company.
