About Special Response Security:

Special Response Security is a locally owned and operated Austin security guard company, built on a foundation of experience, accountability, and professional service. Unlike out-of-state corporations, our operations are based here in Texas, allowing us to provide responsive, consistent, and hands-on security services tailored to the needs of businesses and properties throughout the Austin area.
We are fully licensed by the State of Texas and regulated by the Texas Department of Public Safety, ensuring full compliance with all applicable laws and industry standards. Our company is also fully insured, providing our clients with an added layer of confidence and protection when selecting a security provider.
Our leadership and operational experience are rooted in both military and law enforcement backgrounds, combined with over 28 years of direct experience in the private security industry. This diverse foundation allows us to approach each assignment with a disciplined, structured mindset focused on prevention, awareness, and professional execution.
At Special Response Security, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Each client and property presents unique challenges, which is why we develop tailored security solutions based on risk level, environment, and operational needs. Whether providing on-site security officers, mobile patrol services, or specialized assignments, our focus remains on delivering consistent, accountable, and verifiable security coverage.
We emphasize professionalism at every level—from appearance and conduct to communication and reporting. Our officers are trained to maintain a visible presence, respond appropriately to incidents, and document their activity to ensure transparency and accountability for our clients.
Our commitment is simple: provide reliable security services that our clients can depend on, backed by experience, structure, and proven operational standards.

Our hiring standards- and why it matters:

At Special Response Security, we maintain strict hiring standards to ensure that every officer assigned to a client represents our company with professionalism, reliability, and integrity.
Many clients are not aware that, under certain circumstances, individuals with prior felony convictions may still be eligible for licensing within the private security industry in Texas. While this is permitted under state guidelines, we have established internal standards that go beyond minimum requirements.
Our policy is clear: we do not employ individuals with felony convictions, regardless of when the offense occurred. This reflects our commitment to providing clients with dependable and trustworthy personnel.
All licensed security companies are required to meet basic state screening and licensing requirements. Where we differentiate ourselves is through ongoing internal and external training that extends beyond what the state mandates. Our officers receive continued development through our training programs, ensuring they maintain a high level of professionalism, situational awareness, and operational consistency.
This commitment to higher standards results in officers who are better prepared, more accountable, and capable of representing our clients at a professional level at all times.
