What we do
Security Guard Services in Houston
Every guard service Price Protection staffs in Houston and Sugar Land: armed and unarmed posts, patrol, access control, camera monitoring and fire watch.
Price Protection Security staffs three core services, armed security guards, unarmed security guards and fire watch, and every other service on this page is one of those three shaped to a schedule, a place or a task. A parking-lot post is an unarmed officer with a patrol route and a report. A sprinkler-impairment fire watch is a trained officer walking timed rounds with a log. The pages below explain what each post includes, when it is the right call and what dispatch needs to start it.
Every post, whatever its shape, comes with the same three things: a Texas DPS-licensed company (license #B09430601), post orders written with you before the first shift, and a written report every day.
The three core services
Armed Security Guard Services
Trained, state-certified armed officers for properties that need a visible, decisive deterrent.
Learn more

Licensed, trained officers for access control, vehicle patrol, camera monitoring and incident reporting.

Guard posts by schedule, place and task
24-hour coverage
One post, staffed every hour of every day, with a handover at each shift change so the property never waits for an officer to arrive.
Learn more
Access control
A licensed officer at the door who decides who comes in, on which credential, and writes it down, so the entrance is a rule and not a suggestion.
Learn more
Camera monitoring
A licensed officer at your own monitor wall, watching live, with a radio to a rover and a phone to police, so the cameras produce a response.
Learn more
Courtesy patrol
The multifamily name for the officer who keeps the peace after the office closes. Ours are licensed, follow written post orders and file a report every shift.
Learn more
Emergency guards
Call dispatch at any hour, say what happened, and an unarmed officer can typically be on your property within hours, with armed coverage where warranted.
Learn more
Event security
Uniformed officers at the door, on the floor and in the lot for the hours of your event, briefed on your guest list, your rules and your timeline.
Learn more
Gate guard
An officer at the vehicle entrance who opens the gate for the people the property has approved, logs everyone else, and reports the day the arm fails.
Learn more
Lobby and concierge security
The desk is staffed when reception has gone home, by an officer who greets tenants by name and writes down everything that came through the door.
Learn more
Loss prevention
An unarmed officer at the front of the store who greets, watches the floor and the doors, and follows your apprehension policy to the letter.
Learn more
Overnight
An officer on the property from the last employee out to the first one in, checking the doors, walking the rounds and writing down when things happened.
Learn more
Parking lot and garage security
Most property crime in Houston happens to a parked car. We put an officer where the cars are, on a schedule nobody outside can predict.
Learn more
Temporary guards
Licensed officers for a defined window, days to weeks, staffed like a permanent post and closed out cleanly on the date you set.
Learn more
Vehicle patrol
A marked vehicle covers what a fixed post cannot: the far lot, the back fence, the third property on the route, all on a schedule nobody outside can predict.
Learn more
Weekend coverage
Officers for the days your property either empties out or fills up, from Friday afternoon to Monday morning or any part of it.
Learn more
Fire watch by trigger
24-hour fire watch
A watch that never has a gap: officers relieve each other on the floor, sign the same log, and keep the interval through the night and the weekend.
Learn more
Fire watch after a fire
The fire department has left, the building is open to the sky and the sprinklers are drained. Someone has to stay, and it should be someone trained.
Learn more
Emergency fire watch
The panel failed, the riser burst, the fire marshal said fire watch or evacuate. Call dispatch and the watch starts tonight.
Learn more
Fire alarm outage fire watch
While the panel cannot detect or the monitoring line cannot report, an officer does both: walks every zone, and makes the call the system would have made.
Learn more
Fire watch logs
A watch that is not written down did not happen, as far as the fire marshal and the insurer are concerned. Ours is written down every round.
Learn more
Hot work fire watch
A trained watcher stands where the slag falls, not where the welder stands, and stays on station after the torch goes cold for as long as the permit says.
Learn more
Sprinkler impairment fire watch
From the moment the control valve closes to the moment the contractor opens it again, an officer walks the floors the sprinklers no longer protect.
Learn more
Temporary fire watch
For the shutdown you can see coming. Book the watch with the contractor, and the building stays open while the work is done.

Questions
Choosing a service.
Which service should I start with?
Start from the property, not the service. If you know the property type, the industry pages walk through every service as it applies there. If you know the schedule or task you need covered, pick the post type below, and dispatch will confirm armed or unarmed with you on the call back.
Can a post combine services?
Yes. Most posts do. A gate guard at an apartment community usually handles access control, walks a patrol route at set intervals and files the daily report. A construction post can pair overnight security with a hot-work fire watch during the day. The proposal describes the combination in writing.
How quickly can a post start?
Unarmed guards can typically arrive at most job sites within hours. Armed guards and fire watch are available for emergencies and on short notice. Dispatch confirms a start time when it calls back about your request.
Request a proposal
Request a proposal for your property.
Two short steps. Dispatch reviews every request and calls you back about coverage. For urgent unarmed coverage we can typically staff most sites within hours.
