Overview
Safety Parents Can See
Parents choose a school or child care center partly on how safe it feels. A calm, uniformed officer at the entrance, a clear visitor check-in process and a familiar person watching the parking lot at pickup all send the right message, both to families and to anyone who shouldn't be there.
We work with private and charter schools, child care and early learning centers, churches with schools or weekday programs, tutoring and after-school programs, and summer camps. Every setting is different, so coverage is built around your building, your schedule and your existing safety plan.
Officers we place at schools are chosen for temperament as much as training. They're patient with children, respectful with parents and firm with anyone who doesn't follow the rules. Their job is to deter and delay a threat while getting police on the way, and to handle the everyday issues that come up in a busy building.

FAQ
Common Questions
Do you provide armed officers at schools?
We provide both. Many private schools and child care centers prefer unarmed officers; others choose commissioned (armed) officers. We'll talk through your concerns and any requirements from your board, insurer or accrediting body.
Are your officers background checked?
Yes. Every Texas security officer is fingerprinted and background checked by the Department of Public Safety before being licensed. We also match school posts with officers who have the right temperament for working around children.
Can you cover only drop-off and pickup?
Yes. Some schools only need coverage at arrival and dismissal, or on event days. We can schedule officers for those specific hours.
Do you work with churches that run schools or child care?
Yes. Churches with weekday schools or child care often need coverage during school hours and again for weekend services. We can build one schedule that covers both.
