HOW TO BECOME A SECURITY GUARD
Step 1: Understand the Training You Need
If you want to become a Texas security guard, the first thing that you need to do is get training and licensing. The Texas State Government regulates security guards via the Texas Department of Public Safety, and has strict requirements regarding who is allowed to carry a weapon in the name of a private security firm. To become a fully fledged security guard you will need to take the Level II licensing exam. To carry firearms you will need Level III. You do not need a college degree, a school diploma is sufficient.
Step 2: Complete Your Training & Get Your License
You can get your Texas Level II security guard license, or guard card, online for only $35 through Ranger Academy.
Step 3: Apply For Jobs
If you are hired by a high quality company such as Ranger Guard you will be required to take additional training. We require all our guards to take training in anti-terrorism, criminal law, defensive tactics, surveillance, patrolling, and firearms. In addition to specific training relating to security we also train guards in first aid, CPR, verbal de-escalation tactics and customer service.
Once you have got your license and gone through your advanced training, you will be ready to start work keeping Houston safe and preventing criminal activities!
