Our Services
Big Bend Security provides professional unarmed security services for locations and events that require a security presence without the need for armed personnel. Our unarmed officers serve as a visible deterrent, helping maintain order, enforce site rules, and create a safe and welcoming environment for staff, guests, and visitors.
Unarmed security services may include access control, guest and employee screening, patrols of assigned areas, and the monitoring of activity throughout the site. Officers are trained to observe and report, address policy violations, and respond to disturbances in a calm and professional manner, using communication and de-escalation as their primary tools.
When necessary, unarmed officers may assist with the removal of unauthorized or disruptive individuals, coordinate with management, coordinate with law enforcement and document incidents to ensure proper follow-up and accountability.
Big Bend Security provides licensed armed security services for locations and events requiring an elevated level of protection. Our armed officers are trained, commissioned, and equipped to serve as a strong, visible deterrent while maintaining a professional, approachable presence.
Armed security services may include access control, perimeter security, patrols, and the monitoring of individuals and activity within an assigned area. Officers are prepared to identify potential threats, de-escalate conflicts, and take appropriate action when safety is at risk, while always operating within Texas law and established company protocols.
Armed officers may also support event operations, protect high-value assets, secure sensitive areas, and assist with the safe removal of disruptive or unauthorized individuals. All activity is documented to ensure accountability and transparency.
Armed coverage is tailored to the specific needs of each assignment and is typically recommended for higher-risk environments, large public events, or locations where a visible armed presence is appropriate.
From weddings and private parties to corporate functions and public events, Big Bend Security provides professional, on-site event security designed to keep guests safe and operations running smoothly. Our licensed security officers manage access control, monitor crowd behavior, and maintain a visible security presence throughout the event.
Event security services may include guest screening for prohibited items such as weapons, drugs, or alcohol, controlled entry and exit points, patrols of event areas, and intervention when guests become disruptive or violate event rules. Officers are trained to de-escalate situations, escort unruly individuals off the property when necessary, and document incidents in a professional and thorough manner.
Event coverage can be tailored to your needs and risk level, with the option of armed or unarmed security personnel depending on the nature of the event.
