We Care About Your Safety
Defender One Security delivers trusted, comprehensive security solutions across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Founded in 2009 by Baltimore native Jon Krieger, the company remains proudly family-owned and operated.
With more than 30 years in law enforcement—including leadership roles in patrol, internal affairs, traffic, and community outreach—Jon launched Defender One to bridge the gap between private security and public safety. That same commitment to professionalism, accountability, and community still drives the company today.
As a family-run business, Defender One offers a level of personal service and responsiveness national firms often can’t match. Jon and his wife Jennifer oversee daily operations, working directly with clients to ensure every detail is handled with care and integrity.
