Unarmed Security Guard Services

If you oversee a construction site, commercial facility, or residential complex, you understand the critical importance of safeguarding your property and assets from vandalism, theft, and various criminal activities. The presence of well-trained and professionally attired unarmed security officers serves as a powerful deterrent, earning the trust of organizations nationwide for their safety and peace of mind.

We offer tailored unarmed security guard service in Houston, addressing the unique security and risk management requirements of each client. Our dedicated unarmed security guards can typically arrive at most job sites within hours, ensuring vigilant loss prevention, robust access control, and detailed incident reporting. The visibility of our guards alone is often enough to discourage wrongdoing, making collaboration with an unarmed security guard company an indispensable component of an effective risk management strategy.

What an unarmed guard does on a shift

An unarmed shift is built from four duties: access control at the entry points, patrol on foot or by vehicle, real-time monitoring of your cameras where the site has them, and a detailed report of anything that happens. Which duty carries the most weight depends on the property. It may be a gate at an apartment community, a lobby desk in an office building or a parking lot behind a store.

Being seen does a large share of the work. A uniformed officer at the entrance and on the route is often enough to stop a problem before it starts, and the report shows you what the officer saw that day.

Licensing and training for unarmed officers

Every unarmed officer we post is registered with the Texas Department of Public Safety after a background check. Under Texas Occupations Code chapter 1702 an unarmed officer is a Level II non-commissioned officer, which means a 30-hour state course before working a post.

Our guards are also trained in security protocols, customer service, incident reporting, first aid and fire safety. That matters on an unarmed post, where the officer spends the shift among residents, customers, visitors and contractors.

Price Protection holds Texas DPS security company license #B09430601. The answer on what a Level II security officer is explains the registration in full.

How a post is set up and reported

A post starts with post orders, written with you before the first shift. They name the entrances, the hours, the people to call and what the officer is there to do, so nothing is left to guesswork on the first night.

From then on you receive a written report each day. When something happens it gets its own incident report, and staff performance is reviewed and documented daily. Those reports sit alongside the footage from your own security systems if a question comes up later.

When unarmed coverage is the right level

Unarmed coverage suits a property with lower risk, where a friendly security presence keeps order: a warehouse, a retail store, an event venue or an apartment community. Officers work without the intimidation of a firearm, which helps where customers and residents pass the post all day.

Where crime rates are high or expensive inventory is at stake, armed security guards may be the better fit. The answer on choosing armed or unarmed security walks through the choice.
