Yes. I would change the entire message so it is specifically about armed security guards, while keeping the wording professional and avoiding claims that armed guards replace law enforcement. Texas DPS recognizes armed security guards as part of the regulated private-security profession.
Are Armed Security Guards Actually Useful to Businesses and People?
Yes. Armed security guards can provide an important layer of protection for businesses, properties, employees, customers, and communities, particularly when the security risk requires a stronger visible deterrent and appropriately licensed armed personnel.
They can help with:
Visible Deterrence: A professional armed security presence can discourage theft, vandalism, trespassing, unauthorized activity, and other security threats.
Access Control: Armed guards can monitor entrances, verify visitors, control access to restricted areas, and help maintain a secure environment.
Security Patrols: Regular foot and vehicle patrols can help identify suspicious activity, safety concerns, unauthorized access, or property issues before they escalate.
Incident Response: Armed security officers can observe, assess, document, and report incidents and contact law enforcement or emergency services when appropriate.
Employee & Customer Safety: A professional security presence can provide reassurance and an additional layer of protection at businesses, commercial properties, residential communities, and public-facing locations.
High-Risk & Specialized Locations: Armed security can be appropriate for certain commercial properties, industrial facilities, construction sites, warehouses, retail locations, events, and other locations where the risk assessment calls for armed personnel.
The key is matching the security service to the actual risk level. Businesses and property owners should evaluate their location, operations, environment, hours of operation, and potential threats when determining whether armed security is appropriate.
