About Armored Breach
Armored Breach was founded by Dennis D. Medina, an active law enforcement officer who has served since 2005 with one of the largest agencies in the country. Since 2016, Dennis has been assigned to his agency’s full-time SWAT Team, where he has become a recognized expert in mechanical breaching.
He is a lead instructor during SWAT schools for his department and has trained officers at multiple international SWAT programs. Over his career, Dennis has taken part in a wide range of high-risk operations including search warrants, active shooter incidents, vehicle takedowns, barricaded subjects, dignitary protection, and waterborne missions.
As a breacher, he continues to study, refine, and develop techniques that allow teams to gain entry as quickly and safely as possible. His experience and dedication form the foundation of Armored Breach, driving the mission to create equipment that operators can trust when it matters most.

Guardian Breaching Shield – A Solution for School Safety
One of the lessons from past tragedies, like the Uvalde school shooting, is clear: officers on scene asked for shields and breaching tools that weren’t available. The Guardian Breaching Shield was created to prevent that failure from ever happening again.
Built with advanced ballistic materials, the Guardian provides rifle-rated Level III protection in a shield designed for schools, police, and first responders. It’s the only patented shield of its kind—lightweight, easy to carry, and equipped for fast entry when every second counts.
With HB33 requiring breaching tools and ballistic shields on every Texas campus, the Guardian offers a proven, affordable solution that meets and exceeds those requirements. It gives officers and school resource officers the ability to protect students and staff while quickly stopping the threat.
When lives are on the line, seconds matter. The Guardian Breaching Shield puts safety first—protecting our schools, our teachers, and our children.
Protecting Those Who Protect Our Schools.
