Licensed armed and unarmed security officers for construction sites, hospitals, warehouses, commercial properties, and events across Greater Houston — run by a veteran-owned company that treats every post like a mission, not a shift to fill.
Most security companies sell you a body at a gate. Mayer Security Services builds a guard program: who stands the post, what they watch for, how they report, and what happens when something goes wrong at 2 a.m. Every officer is licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety, insured under our $15M policy, and works from written post orders specific to your site — because a guard who knows exactly what right looks like is the one who notices what wrong looks like.
Need personal protection rather than site security? That is its own discipline — see our bodyguard services in Houston and executive protection programs.
Guard work is not interchangeable. A hospital lobby, a job site laydown yard, and a distribution dock each fail differently — so officers are selected and briefed for the environment they will actually stand in.
Not sure which program fits? Start with the industries overview or just call — a five-minute conversation beats a form.
Headquartered at 1201 Fannin St in downtown Houston, with officers posted across the metro — from the Medical Center and the Ship Channel to the master-planned communities west and north of the city.
Inside the Loop we also run dedicated programs for River Oaks, Memorial Villages, and Hunters Creek.
Mayer Security Services was founded by a U.S. Marine with years of security and intelligence work supporting U.S. government operations overseas. That background shows up in the details clients actually feel: written post orders, supervisors who show up unannounced, officers briefed on your site instead of dropped on it, and reporting you can hand to your insurer or your board without editing.
Standing up a post is a process, not a handshake. Here is what working with us actually looks like:
We run 24/7 operations, including overnight posts, weekend coverage, rotating shifts, and short-notice deployments such as emergency fire watch.
Rates depend on four things: armed versus unarmed, total weekly hours, site complexity and risk, and contract length. A single overnight unarmed post prices very differently from a 24/7 armed program with vehicle patrol — which is why we quote from a site assessment rather than a rate card.

Yes. Mayer Security Services is licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Program, and every officer holds the DPS license his or her role requires — non-commissioned officers for unarmed posts and Level III commissioned officers for armed posts. The company carries $15M in insurance coverage.
It depends on what you are protecting and what a failure costs. Unarmed officers handle most access control, patrol, and deterrence work. Armed officers are justified where asset value, threat history, or the nature of the site demands an armed response. We make a recommendation after a site assessment — and we will tell you when unarmed coverage is genuinely enough.
Construction sites, healthcare facilities and hospitals, commercial and industrial properties, warehouses and logistics yards, private estates, film and media productions, events, and government facilities. Each industry has its own program — officers are selected and briefed for the environment they will work in.
After a site walk and written post orders, most programs stand up quickly — and we maintain 24/7 operations for short-notice needs such as emergency fire watch, storm response, and coverage gaps left by another provider. Call (281) 202-9862 and we will tell you honestly what timeline your situation allows.
Yes. Around-the-clock posts, overnight-only coverage, weekend and event coverage, and rotating shifts are all standard. Supervisors conduct inspections across all shifts — including the ones nobody expects to be checked.
Pricing depends on armed versus unarmed officers, weekly hours, site risk, and contract length, so honest companies quote from a site assessment rather than a flat rate card. Request a free quote and you will get a number specific to your site — not a teaser rate that changes after signing.
It starts with a short conversation about your site, your concerns, and what coverage should actually look like. No pressure, no generic proposals.
