Security Considerations in Fort Worth

The Shops at Clearfork and Sundance Square are both open-air settings where stores sit alongside restaurants, offices and public plazas. Retailers in these locations need officers who can watch street-facing entrances, recognize repeat visitors and work with property teams on parking areas and evening activity. Consistent officers who learn the store team and the regular customers are especially valuable in this kind of layout.

North Fort Worth has one of the largest concentrations of distribution and fulfillment centers in the region. These sites need gate control, truck and trailer logging, perimeter patrols and dock supervision across multiple shifts. Many run around the clock, so providers must keep posts filled overnight and on weekends and maintain clear shift handoff notes between officers.

Major rodeo, livestock and motorsport events, along with concerts at Dickies Arena, bring heavy crowds to the west side and the Stockyards at set times of year. Nearby businesses often need added coverage for those dates. North Texas weather also matters for planning, with severe spring storms and summer heat affecting exterior posts and requiring clear procedures for sheltering staff and customers.

Security Services in Fort Worth

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.

Common Questions

Are armed officers available in Fort Worth?

Armed posts are available where the jurisdiction permits. They are staffed by retired law enforcement officers who hold the required armed licensing, 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, 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.
