Al Sanchez was awarded his Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice
from Sam Houston State University in 1980. His work in the criminal justice arena began in Texas with the Pharr-McAllen
and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office as a detective specializing in criminal investigations, surveillance and
undercover operations.
His experience and education eventually prepared him for the Security management position he held with a multinational
company where among other things he spearheaded the development of a sophisticated video security surveillance and alarm system
for the corporation’s 46 floor world headquarters in Houston, Texas.
His training and collaboration with the FBI helped foster his proficiency
with executive protection, critical infrastructure protection including information security, proprietary data and personnel
security, thus ensuring the integrity and reliability of the workforce and granting of security clearances.
Al started his own security business in
1993 specializing in private, personal injury and criminal defense investigations.
Defend Technology, Inc. was later formed
by Al so he could apply his unique experience, education and talents to the specialty of industrial, commercial and residential
security with particular emphasis in the area of custom design and installation of video security camera systems.
His life’s journey of 40 years has
been driven by his passion for security through video surveillance cameras and the vigilance to deter crime.
Defend Technology is driven by the motto
“Being Safe Means Being Prepared”.
