Why You Need a Home Security Consultant
Every 26 seconds, a property crime happens in the United States — and it doesn’t just target homes.
Businesses, schools, apartments, and places of worship are increasingly vulnerable to break-ins, vandalism, and theft.
Installing cameras or alarms is a start, but without a professional strategy behind them, even the best equipment can leave dangerous gaps. A tailored security consultation is one of the smartest investments you can make for lasting peace of mind.
Experience Beats Equipment
Criminals don’t follow manuals — and neither do we.
With over 15 years of law enforcement and emergency services experience, we understand how intruders think, move, and exploit weaknesses.
That insight drives our approach, helping identify and eliminate the blind spots that off-the-shelf systems miss across homes, businesses, and community properties.
67% of burglaries occur in residential properties, but commercial break-ins and vandalism are on the rise nationwide (FBI Uniform Crime Reporting).
You Deserve More Than a Sales Pitch
Unlike traditional alarm or system installers, we don’t push overpriced gear or long-term contracts.
Shield Line Consulting delivers objective, experience-based guidance—not a sales script.
You’ll get a clear plan, trusted recommendations, and smart technology solutions designed specifically for your property’s layout, daily routines, and level of risk.
Every Property Has Unique Weak Spots
Whether it’s a home, small business, school, or church, every property has its own vulnerabilities.
Layout, lighting, foot traffic, and daily routines all play a role in your level of risk.
Generic security packages can’t account for that.
At Shield Line Consulting, we deliver personalized security assessments tailored to your environment—not a one-size-fits-all system.
34% of intrusions occur through the front entrance, and another 22% through unsecured rear access points.

Smart Tech ≠ Smart Strategy
Installing cameras, alarms, or smart locks is easy.
Positioning them strategically to deter and prevent real-world threats is where most people—and companies—get it wrong.
We help you build a true security plan, not just a collection of gadgets.
Properties without a security system are 300% more likely to experience a break-in.

Peace of Mind from Someone Who's Been There
You don’t need to live in fear—but you do need a plan.
With over 15 years of combined law enforcement and emergency services experience, we’ve seen how criminals operate—and how to stop them.
At Shield Line Consulting, we help families, business owners, and community leaders secure their spaces with proven, real-world strategies—not guesswork or sales tactics.

-
A security assessment is a comprehensive audit of your physical and digital vulnerabilities. Unlike a sales pitch from an alarm company, our assessment is an unbiased, professional evaluation of your property’s weaknesses. We look at entry points, lighting, surveillance coverage, and emergency protocols to create a "Shield Line" around your home or business.
-
No, and that is our greatest advantage. Because we do not sell specific brands or hardware, our recommendations are 100% unbiased. Our goal is to find the best solution for your specific needs and budget, not to meet a sales quota. We provide the "Smarter Planning," and you choose the equipment that fits your lifestyle.
-
With over 15 years in law enforcement and emergency services, I see environments through a different lens. I don’t just look at where a camera should go; I understand criminal behavior, response times, and how to mitigate a threat before it occurs. You are getting professional-grade tactics applied to your personal or professional space.
-
Absolutely. Many "off-the-shelf" smart home devices have significant security flaws. We help you select and configure smart locks, cameras, and hubs that provide convenience without opening your home up to digital intruders. We ensure your technology works for you, not against you.
-
Yes. We specialize in working with community organizations to create safety plans that are effective but not intrusive. We offer site-specific risk assessments, staff training, and physical security recommendations to ensure that your congregation or students are protected in a "future-ready" environment.
