Schaad Detective Agency, Inc. operates in the security and investigations sector. Headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, the firm traces its origins to 1972 when Russell C. Schaad and Russell L. Wantz, Jr. established the business, initially focusing on investigative services. In 1975, Wantz identified a need for professional armed and unarmed security guarding in the York area, expanding the company’s scope beyond investigations. After Schaad’s death in 1977, Wantz assumed full ownership and guided expansion into a broader security services footprint. The firm extended its presence into several Pennsylvania markets, including Hanover, Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Chambersburg, and Lancaster. Today, Schaad Detective Agency provides security officers across the state, reflecting a transition from a purely investigative firm to a full-spectrum security provider.
