Commercial Security Services in Houston

At National Protective Service, we secure Houston businesses with professional, proactive commercial security. From Class-A offices and retail centers to warehouses, healthcare, campuses, energy facilities, and mixed-use properties, our DPS-licensed officers provide dependable on-site coverage and mobile patrols that deter crime, reduce loss, and keep operations moving. 

Houston runs 24/7—and so do we. Our teams protect Downtown, Midtown, Galleria/Uptown, Greenway–Upper Kirby, River Oaks, The Heights, Energy Corridor, Westchase, Memorial City, Texas Medical Center, East End, and surrounding areas. Whether you need an armed deterrent, unarmed lobby ambassadors, randomized patrols, or fast alarm response, we design a right-sized program with clear KPIs and detailed reporting.

Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.

Why choose us?

DPS-Licensed, Professionally Trained Officers

All officers are licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety – Private Security Program (DPS-PSP) and trained in CPR/First Aid, incident reporting, and de-escalation—ready to protect people, property, and brand reputation.

Armed or Unarmed Coverage for Any Risk

Deploy armed commercial security for higher-risk environments or unarmed officers for concierge/lobby presence—aligned to your risk profile, industry, and policies.

24/7 Staffing & Mobile Patrols

Round-the-clock posts plus mobile patrol units for large footprints, parking structures, yards, and multi-site portfolios with randomized routes, lock-ups, and alarm response.

Customized Post Orders & Reporting

Site-specific post orders, real-time DAR/incident logs with photos/video, escalation trees, and monthly KPI summaries for complete transparency and accountability.

Technology Integrations

Optional CCTV monitoring, access control & visitor-management support, guard-tour verification, and alarm integrations that blend manpower with security tech.

Proven Across Houston

Trusted by retailers, logistics hubs, Class-A towers, HOAs, studios, medical facilities, and campuses across DTLA equivalent areas in Houston—from Uptown/Galleria to the Energy Corridor and Texas Medical Center.

Armed Commercial Security Services

Choose armed commercial security in Houston when your site requires strong deterrence and rapid intervention. Armed officers conduct perimeter/vehicle/foot patrols, dock and gate control, cash/asset escorts, alarm response, and after-hours monitoring—ideal for distribution centers, petrochemical/industrial sites, luxury retail, executive offices, and critical infrastructure.

Our armed teams meet DPS-PSP standards, maintain active firearms qualification, and coordinate with property management and law enforcement as needed. Post orders can include screening/bag checks, loading-dock control, access audits, incident command, and threat-response procedures. You get visible deterrence, professional conduct, and court-ready documentation for every shift.

Unarmed Commercial Security Services

Unarmed commercial security is the right choice for most Houston properties seeking a polished, service-forward presence. Officers staff front desks and reception, manage visitors and vendors, escort employees, and keep lobbies/elevators safe. On patrol, they monitor interiors and parking areas, deter loitering, and address safety hazards before they escalate. 

Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, conflict prevention, customer care, and clear communications. Programs can include retail loss-prevention support, parking/garage patrols, tenant assistance, incident reporting, mobile patrols for campuses, and emergency coordination—delivered with professional appearance and reliable radio discipline.
