We founded U.S. Leaders Protective Services with the goal of providing non-lethal protective equipment and training. We developed the "Hero Shield," a comprehensive solution to mass shootings, and secured a utility patent. Through surveys and presentations, we refined our product and gained support. In 2020, we successfully tested the "Hero Shield" and established partnerships. In November 2020, U.S. Leaders Protective Services officially launched, beginning our mission to protect communities.
