Armed vs Unarmed Overview
Both options deliver professional, licensed coverage. The right choice depends on your risk profile, environment, and threat level.
Armed Security (Level III)
Texas DPS commissioned officers carrying a firearm for environments with elevated risk and a credible threat profile.
- Higher deterrence in high-risk facilities
- Cash, asset, and critical infrastructure protection
- Coordinated response to credible threats
- Additional state training and qualification standards
Unarmed Security (Level II)
Professional, customer-facing officers focused on access control, presence, and documentation without a firearm.
- Ideal for lobbies, retail, offices, and apartments
- Visible, professional deterrent
- Access control and visitor management
- Lower-risk, customer-experience environments
When Armed Security Is Appropriate
Environments where the risk profile, asset value, or threat history justifies a commissioned armed officer on site.
Credible Threat Environments
Properties with documented threat history, hostile activity, or elevated targeting risk.
Critical Infrastructure
Utilities, data centers, communications sites, and other high-value or sensitive facilities.
Cash and Asset Handling
Distribution centers, warehouses, and operations involving high-value goods or currency in transit.
Executive and VIP Coverage
Armed support layered with executive protection for higher-profile personnel and events.

Risks That Demand a Commissioned Response
Higher-risk environments need an officer trained, qualified, and authorized to respond at that level.
Elevated Threats
Some properties face credible threat activity that exceeds what an unarmed posture is designed to address.
High-Value Assets
Cash handling, warehousing, and critical equipment present a target profile requiring stronger deterrence.
Sensitive Operations
Facilities handling sensitive data, materials, or personnel require a higher tier of coverage.
Coordinated Risk Mitigation
Armed posture is part of a broader plan with assessment, post orders, and law enforcement coordination.
