Amerishield Protection Group

What Amerishield Protection Group does

Amerishield Protection Group is a privately held, boutique security consulting firm headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, founded in 2001. The company delivers professional services across all 16 U.S. critical infrastructure sectors, serving government agencies, private corporations, and infrastructure operators. Service offerings are organized into two portfolios: Consulting Services (physical security vulnerability assessments, risk assessment and analysis, corporate security program reviews, threat intelligence assessments, CPTED, and blast modeling) and Planning & Training (business continuity planning, crisis risk management, emergency operations tactical training, homeland security programs, security consulting, and workplace violence planning). The firm emphasizes a methodology aligned with DHS, FEMA, DoD, DoT, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Education, and ASIS International standards, and maintains an "all threats – all hazards" approach encompassing physical, cyber, and personnel security.

The company's core differentiation rests on the senior leadership's federal pedigree — including former DHS, DoD, and law enforcement executives — and on intelligence partnerships with the FBI, U.S. National Counter Terrorism Center, DHS Fusion Centers, RAND Corporation, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Anti-Defamation League. The firm operates from four U.S. offices (Detroit, New York, Washington, Chicago) and claims a global network of security professionals with 100+ years of combined experience.

The business model is project-based professional services with customized engagements scoped to client needs and budget. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the lead conversion mechanism is a free initial consultation. The company reportedly supports federal programs within DoD, VA, DoE, DoT, TSA, NRC, and NNSA. Revenue, customer counts, and headcount growth metrics are not disclosed; the company appears to have a small employee base of approximately 5 people, indicating a boutique, founder-led operating model.
