Overland Park got its start in 1905, when William B. Strang Jr. bought farmland south of Kansas City, laid out neighborhoods, and even built an interurban rail line and an airfield to bring people out. It became a city in 1960, and today it stretches from older blocks near downtown all the way south to the Arboretum on 179th Street.
Troy Lentz at Shield Squad Agency works with Overland Park families and business owners from just across the state line in Independence, along with their neighbors in Leawood, Olathe, and Lenexa.
Our office is on the Missouri side, but plenty of the people we help live in Kansas. Calls, texts, and our online quote form make it easy, and you won't be handed off to a call center.
Whether you're in a starter townhome, a house you've owned for decades, or running a business out of an office park, we'll take the time to understand what you actually need.

These are the coverages Overland Park households and businesses ask us about most.
Between I-435, US-69, and the daily stop-and-go on Metcalf, Overland Park drivers see a lot of traffic. Kansas policies include personal injury protection (PIP), and we'll help you pick liability limits that fit busy roads, not just the state minimum.
Overland Park has everything from older ranch homes in the north to newer two-story houses in the south. We'll make sure your dwelling limit reflects today's rebuilding costs and that you understand how your wind and hail deductible works.
Lots of folks rent in Overland Park — apartments near work, a townhome while house hunting, or a place close to JCCC. Renters insurance covers your belongings and your liability, which the building owner's policy won't.
If a mortgage, childcare, and college plans all depend on your paycheck, life insurance is how you keep those plans on track. We'll compare term, whole life, and IUL with you, no pressure.
From consultants and medical offices to restaurants and contractors, Overland Park businesses come in every shape. We'll talk through liability, property, and the other coverages that match how you work.

Whether you fish a county lake or tow to the Lake of the Ozarks for a week, we'll explain how your boat, trailer, and liability on the water are covered.
If your RV lives in a storage lot because the HOA won't allow it in the driveway, we'll make sure it's covered there, on the road, and at the campsite.
From dog-park regulars to indoor cats, every pet can have a surprise vet visit. We'll explain pet insurance through Farmers, provided by Pets Best, in plain English.

Yes. We work with Kansas customers by phone, text, and our online quote form, and Overland Park is right across the state line from us.
Personal injury protection helps pay certain medical expenses, lost wages, and related costs after an accident, regardless of fault. Kansas requires it on every auto policy.
Auto insurance basicsAuto policies generally go with you when you drive in another state. Since your car is registered in Kansas, your policy is built to meet Kansas requirements.
Auto insurance basicsUsually, yes. The HOA's master policy often covers shared areas and parts of the structure, but your belongings, interior, and liability may be on you. Bring us your HOA documents and we'll sort it out.
Home insurance basicsInstead of a flat amount, you'd pay a percentage of your dwelling limit on a wind or hail claim. On a $400,000 dwelling limit, a 1% deductible would be $4,000.
