Why TB Defense

Protection that holds up when it counts.

When it has to be right the first time, experience matters. TB Defense is led by a Chicago Police officer with 20 years of service, and our details are staffed by people with long careers in law enforcement and the military, sized to the real threat, and run discreetly.

Meet the team
Law-enforcement grade. Two decades inside the Chicago Police Department, from organized crime and homicide to counterterrorism, brought to bear on private protection.
Intelligence-led. We find and measure the threat before we plan around it, so you pay for protection sized to the real risk, not a template.
Licensed and accountable. A licensed Illinois Private Security Contractor and Private Detective agency. We expect you to verify it.
Built to scale. From a single agent to a full detail, we assemble a team sized to the assignment.
Discreet by default. The best detail is the one no one notices. We guard your privacy as closely as your safety.
A trusted partnership. Direct, high-trust collaboration, so the people you depend on move fast and stay aligned with you from day one.
