Security Guards in Alief and Southwest Houston

Serving Southwest Houston from Sugar Land

Alief, Sharpstown, Gulfton and the rest of Southwest Houston are Price Protection’s nearest neighbors, fifteen to twenty-five minutes from the Sugar Land headquarters by US 59, Beltway 8 or Bellaire Boulevard. Officers based on the west side work these posts every night, and a supervisor can be on a property within the hour for a walk-through. Dispatch answers the same number for a scheduled post and an emergency start.

What the southwest asks for

Apartment communities ask for courtesy patrol more than anything else: evening and overnight rounds through large, open garden communities, pool and gate checks, a line residents can call and a report the manager reads before the office opens. Retail owners on Bellaire, Bissonnet and Hillcroft ask for door posts at jewelers, grocers and money services, evening lot presence and holiday coverage. Warehouses and yards along the Beltway ask for gate posts and weekend patrol. Congregations, schools and community centers ask for coverage during services, programs and events. Clinics and nonprofits ask for entrance posts and escorts.

Local factors that shape the post

The southwest is dense, diverse and busy at every hour. Its apartment communities are large and old, with open breezeways, long parking runs and many buildings, which favors a vehicle and foot patrol that moves. Its commercial districts run late and serve communities from many countries, and officers are chosen for manner and, where a center needs it, for language. Beltway 8 and US 59 give fast access, which is why lots and yards along them are the common targets. Brays Bayou floods, and the storm plan is in the post orders of the properties along it.

Starting coverage in Southwest Houston

Tell dispatch the address, the kind of property, the hours you want and what you have been seeing, and name someone who can walk the property with a supervisor, often the same day. The post orders come from that visit and the first report follows the first shift. Neighboring areas have their own pages: Sugar Land to the southwest, Westchase to the north and Bellaire and West University to the east.
