Protect Your School and Students with Our Houston Security Guard Company

No one likes to talk about school violence, but it is on the rise here in Texas and across the country. Shootings, stabbings, and more are becoming unfortunately common, and no school can consider itself entirely safe. A school administrator must be able to protect their students, without the security systems becoming a burden or a threat.

That’s why schools in the area are increasingly choosing highly-trained security guard companies in Houston – like Professional Guard & Patrol, Inc. We’ve been providing the best in security services across the greater Houston area since 1985, and we can be trusted to protect your school and your students throughout the year.

Creating Robust Security Solutions for Schools

What can PGP bring to your school?

• Visible security presence. One of the most important roles of a security guard is to be visible and deter misbehavior through their presence.
• Improved surveillance. A school typically has many entrances and exits – and they should all be overseen with cameras, backed up by diligent security forces who are focused on keeping the wrong people out.
• Security checkpoints. Metal detectors and bodily searches in schools are controversial, but sometimes necessary. We can work with you to evaluate your threat level and determine whether such efforts are necessary.
• Robust communication systems. Proper communication within a school is vital for preventing threats, and dealing with them if one occurs. We’ll ensure your communications are up to the challenge.
• Gunshot detection systems. Modern technology can detect gunshots and distinguish them from other similar sounds such as a car backfiring. If there is an active shooter, you need to know immediately – and we’ll make it possible.

Why Choose PGP For Your School Security

School security is a very touchy subject. You need security guards you can trust to keep your school safe but without unnecessarily burdening or scaring your students. PGP excels in such situations where discretion is key.

Our guards are highly trained, and we do extensive background testing to weed out anyone who may be unsuited or emotionally unstable. We place a high priority on de-escalation as well. You need school security guards who are truly prepared to make a situation better, rather than worse. 

We also offer both armed and unarmed guard solutions or a mix of the two. You don’t want too many guns on your campus, but we can make them available when needed. We can further enhance your security profile with patrol services canvassing the campus, especially after hours.

Our reputation in the area is impeccable – just look at our testimonials from past clients. We fully understand how sensitive school security is, and we’ll do everything possible to maintain security while also maintaining a positive public face.
