Security Considerations in Dallas

Dallas luxury retail is spread across several destination centers rather than one street. Retailers with more than one location need consistent officer standards and reporting across every store, and supervisors who can cover the distance between them.

Highland Park Village and Legacy West are open-air centers where parking areas, curbside pickup and building entrances all need attention. Officers have to balance visibility with a welcoming presence for regular clients.

Dallas is also a major corporate headquarters market. Office buildings and corporate campuses need dependable lobby, access control and visitor management coverage.

Security Services in Dallas

Screening, Training and Supervision

Officers complete a five-stage screening process and tier-based training before assignment, including de-escalation and, for retail posts, organized retail crime recognition. Supervisors make unannounced site visits, and the MGP Operations Desk answers 24/7/365. Incidents are documented on scene, time-stamped and GPS-verified.

Texas Licensing

Texas security companies are licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety, Private Security Program. Unarmed officers must be registered as Level II non-commissioned security officers, and armed officers must hold a Level III commissioned security officer license. McCray Global Protection holds Texas license B18919001.

Hiring Off-Duty Police Officers in Dallas

• Dallas Police off-duty jobs are requested through RollKall, a scheduling platform run by the department’s Secondary Employment Team. As of March 25, 2026, Dallas officers may no longer work off-duty jobs created directly by outside businesses. Source

MGP coordinates off-duty officer coverage where the department allows it, and assigns Tier III retired police officers where it does not. See Off-Duty Police Officer Services.

Common Questions

Are armed officers available in Dallas?

Yes. Armed posts are staffed by retired law enforcement officers who hold the armed licensing Texas requires, and are assigned after a review of the site’s risk, lease and insurance requirements. For luxury boutiques, MGP generally recommends unarmed officers focused on deterrence and client service.

How is security guard coverage priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, armed or unarmed status, hours, schedule and site requirements. MGP provides a written rate schedule after reviewing your needs. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
