Security Guards in Pasadena, TX, are built for the Ship Channel corridor
Most guard companies post the same officer at a taco shop and a chemical-plant gate. Pasadena’s industrial corridor doesn’t work that way. We match licensed officers and written post orders to your actual site risk, including the access rules that apply inside Ship Channel facilities, from a Houston base that has held its Texas DPS license since 2018.
Your Safety, Our Priority
Pasadena's Most Trusted Security Professionals Are One Call Away
Services We Run in Pasadena
We staff six commercial post types in the corridor. Each one gets officers and post orders built for that site, not a copy-paste guard.
Unarmed security officers
Level II licensed officers for retail, offices, lobbies, and lower-risk yards. Visible presence, access control, and documented patrols.
Armed security officers
Level III commissioned officers for higher-value or higher-risk posts: cash handling, sensitive sites, and plant-adjacent gates that call for it.
Construction-site security
Theft and equipment-loss prevention on active sites. Gate logs, after-hours patrol, and trailer and material checks where copper and tools walk off.
Warehouse & industrial security
Gate control, trailer and yard inspections, dock monitoring, and shift-change coverage for distribution and storage operations.
Retail & shopping-center security
Parking-lot patrol, entrance monitoring, loss documentation, and a presence customers actually notice when they pull in.
Vacant-property security
Patrol and access control for empty buildings and lots, the targets that draw copper theft and squatting across the corridor.
Both the Company and Every Officer Must Be Licensed
In Texas, private security is regulated statewide by the Department of Public Safety under Occupations Code Chapter 1702. There are no special Pasadena rules, but there are no shortcuts either.
Unarmed officers complete a state Level II course and exam. Armed, or commissioned, officers complete a minimum 45-hour Level III course plus a live-fire qualification, then requalify with their firearm and complete six hours of continuing education every two years to keep the commission active. Licenses run two years. If you’ve seen “30 hours” quoted for armed training, that figure is out of date.
Can our guards detain or arrest someone?
Within limits, and we train to them. Texas security officers are private citizens, not police. Under Texas law an officer may reasonably detain a person they reasonably believe is stealing your property, for a reasonable time, to investigate, and may make a citizen’s arrest only for a felony or a breach of the public peace committed in their presence. Past that, the job is to observe, document, de-escalate, and hand off to police. Officers who overstep create liability for you and for us, which is exactly why training and judgment lead the hiring file.

Pasadena Security Questions
How do I confirm a security company is actually licensed in Texas?
Look it up yourself. Texas DPS publishes private-security license status, type, and expiration in its public records, the state’s TOPS system. Search the company name, and ask for the license numbers of the officers who’ll be on your site. A legitimate company hands them over without flinching.
What’s different about securing a site near the Ship Channel or a chemical plant?
Access and experience. Inside a regulated maritime or chemical facility’s secure area, an officer without a TWIC can’t get in unless escorted, so the credential has to be sorted before the post starts. Plant-adjacent posts also need officers who understand turnaround surges, contractor traffic, and hazmat protocols. A retail-trained guard is not a drop-in replacement.
Can your guards detain or arrest someone?
Within limits. Texas security officers are private citizens. An officer may reasonably detain a person they reasonably believe is stealing your property, for a reasonable time, to investigate, and may make a citizen’s arrest only for a felony or a breach of the public peace committed in their presence. Beyond that, the job is observe, document, de-escalate, and call police. We train to those limits because overstepping creates liability.
Armed or unarmed, which does my site need?
Start with the site, not the gun. Most retail, office, and lower-risk posts are well served by unarmed Level II officers. Armed Level III officers fit higher-value or higher-risk posts, cash handling, sensitive sites, and some plant-adjacent gates. We run every site through the Corridor Coverage Match before recommending one.
With CFATS paused, what should an industrial operator prioritize now?
Treat the lapse as a moved goalpost, not a removed one. CFATS enforcement has been offline since July 28, 2023, but your insurer’s requirements, your own risk assessment, and port-security expectations haven’t changed, and TWIC access rules are intact. Prioritize documented access control, written post orders, and officers credentialed for your facility.
How fast can you put an officer on a post, and how do you handle shift changes?
For a standing post, typically same day to 48 hours once we’ve scoped access. Because coverage usually breaks at the handoff rather than mid-shift, we use written post orders and overlapping shift changes so the gate is never unmanned between officers.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Coverage runs weekly or month-to-month, short or long term, whatever the site needs. You can scale up for a turnaround or an incident and scale back when it’s over.
What do I need ready to start coverage?
The site address, what’s on site, your access and gate rules, and any cameras or systems you want the post tied into. We handle licensing, the insurance certificate (often same day), and post orders from there.
