SECURITY OFFICER ARREST / DETENTION AUTHORITY IN TEXAS

Many assume it’s Illegal in Texas for security officers to detain and arrest. This isn’t quite true. While a citizen’s arrest allows anyone to detain someone they see committing a felony or breach of peace, security officers operate with a distinct role. They are professionally contracted for enforcement purposes, licensed, and trained to detain and arrest when necessary—a responsibility a citizen cannot legally undertake without proper credentials.

Our licensed security officers bring expert training and authority to protect your property. Unlike a citizen’s one-time arrest power, we’re equipped for ongoing enforcement, ensuring rapid, lawful responses to threats.
