Mission started out in 1926 as Mission Hill Acres, a 245-lot subdivision sold by the Breyfogel family. The post office shortened the name to Mission in 1938, and it became a city in 1951. Long before that, the old wagon trail from Independence to Santa Fe ran through this area — so in a way, we've been neighbors for a long time.
Troy Lentz at Shield Squad Agency works with Mission households and businesses from Independence, along with neighbors in Merriam, Prairie Village, and Overland Park.

Here's how we approach the coverage Mission households and businesses ask about most.
Mission is close to I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway, and plenty of drivers here head into Missouri for work. We'll make sure your coverage meets Kansas's PIP and uninsured motorist requirements and fits your commute.
Many Mission homes go back to the mid-1900s. We'll look at your roof, your rebuild cost, and any updates you've made, so your policy fits the house you have now.
Mission has plenty of apartments and rental homes. Renters insurance covers your belongings and liability, and it's often surprisingly affordable.
Whether you're single, newly married, or raising kids, life insurance needs change over time. We'll help you find coverage that fits where you are now.
Restaurants, shops, and service businesses along Johnson Drive keep Mission busy. We'll talk through liability, property, and what your lease requires.
Commuting on two wheels or riding for fun on weekends? We'll make sure your motorcycle coverage fits how you use your bike.
Most Mission boaters keep their boats in storage and tow to the lake. We'll explain how your boat is covered at each step.
If your camper is parked in a storage lot between trips, we'll make sure it's covered there and on the road.
Apartment dogs and backyard pups alike can need a vet in a hurry. We'll explain how pet insurance through Farmers, provided by Pets Best, works.

Business insurance basicsLook at the roof, wiring, plumbing, and heating, and make sure your dwelling limit reflects today's building costs.
Home insurance basicsAuto policies generally cover you when you drive in another state. Because your car is registered in Kansas, your policy follows Kansas rules, including PIP.
