TSS Chicago

TSS family, Austin Pianovski is not just our employee, and not just a member of our premiere "alpha team". He's a cherished and dear friend to all of us at TSS. He's NEVER shied away from having our six and placing his body between imminent harm and death for his team mates and for those he's protecting.

This is OUR time to have HIS SIX. He's in a battle for his life, and we're asking you to help us to help him. Please consider how much any donation means to him and his family. Thank you, it means the world to us.

You can't protect what you don't understand. That's the idea JCAT Partners is built on.

A security team can be highly trained, well-equipped, and deeply professional — and still miss the cultural context that makes the difference between guarding a Jewish institution and truly protecting it.

Knowing when a service is most vulnerable. Understanding why a particular day draws a crowd. Recognizing what's routine versus what's a genuine concern. These aren't extras. They're the foundation of effective protection.

Over the next few months I'll be sharing what cultural fluency looks like on the ground — for the firms that protect Jewish communities and the institutions that depend on them.

Does your private security contractor train 80+ hours a month? Do they train and work with law enforcement? Are their owners and instructors U.S. Special Forces Operators and career SWAT Commanders? Are they recognized by U.S. Government Officials? Time to make the change to TSS Chicago and feel the difference. Take your life and business back and let us worry about your safety.

We often hear people say, "Why do you train for all this stuff? Isn't that the job of the police?".

Fact is, It's not that simple. When an active shooter engages, most of the killing is completed within 3 minutes. Meanwhile, the police are still minutes away. This crisis is compounded by the reality of Police not knowing what the threat looks like, the building layout, where and how many victims there are, and the best entry points. However, TSS is already onsite, has trained at that client facility and performed scenario based exercises to prevent, mitigate, eliminate and respond to the needs of our fellow citizens fighting for their life. Our job is to immediately stop the shooter, and then stop their victims from dying. Accomplishing this requires constant intensive training with highly qualified instructors.

We take our responsibilities very seriously as should all armed private security contractors. Sadly, most don't. They complete the 4-8 hours of state mandated classroom based coursework per year, the shooting qualifications every other year, and nothing more. Whereas, TSS officers and agents must train a minimum of 16 hours per month within:

Active Killer Interdiction, Tactical Emergency Combat Care, De-escalation and Crisis Negotiation, Close Quarters Tactics, Dynamic Entry, Breaching with Distraction Devices, meeting or exceeding US Federal Air Marshal Firearm Qualifications, Detainment and Arrest, Law Enforcement Deconfliction, Israeli Combat Krav Maga, Move/Shoot/Communicate, Marine Combat Hunter Program, among dozens of other curricula.

We believe your life is worth more than mediocre security, and you do too. Expect more, demand TSS.

We train constantly to protect and secure our communities. Together with law enforcement, we are the first line of defense against those who prey upon the innocent.
