What Sets Special Response Security Apart from Other Austin Security Companies
Not all security guard services are the same. While some companies focus on simply placing a guard on-site, Special Response Security is built on structure, accountability, and consistent performance.
Our approach is proactive, not reactive. We focus on prevention, visibility, and professional execution—ensuring that each assignment is managed with purpose and oversight, not just presence.
At the same time, effective security does not end with visibility alone. While deterrence plays a critical role, situations can arise that require a measured and appropriate response. Our personnel are trained and prepared to handle incidents professionally, within the scope of their authority, ensuring that issues are addressed rather than ignored.
We carefully select our security officers based on background, experience, professionalism, and the ability to represent our clients appropriately. Our hiring and training standards are structured to ensure consistency across every assignment, rather than filling positions with unprepared personnel.
We operate under a controlled growth model, allowing us to maintain quality, supervision, and training standards at all times. This ensures that every officer assigned to a property is properly prepared, aligned with our expectations, and capable of delivering a consistent level of service.
The result is simple: we do not provide a liability—we provide a professional, reliable security asset that supports your operations, protects your reputation, and delivers measurable value.
Higher Standards Matter
When selecting a security provider, standards matter. Simply meeting minimum requirements is not enough when your property, personnel, and reputation are involved.
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 those minimum requirements.
Our policy is clear: Special Response Security does not employ individuals with felony convictions, regardless of when the offense occurred. This reflects our commitment to providing dependable, trustworthy personnel and maintaining a consistent level of professionalism across every assignment.
We believe our clients should have confidence in who is representing their property at all times. Higher standards in hiring and accountability result in a higher level of service.
The difference is not just having security—it’s having the right security.
What makes Special Response Security one of the top Austin guard companies?
Some companies will attempt to dazzle you with the credentials their owner holds or held years ago, but keep in mind, they are not the guards performing the service on your property-don’t fall for the fluff and puff.
Avoid false promises, frustrations and being billed for poor service or no service. A higher standard is available and provided to clients who are in need of a security guard service to fulfill and exceed their expectations.

What does training and higher standards mean to you and your business?
What Do Training and Higher Standards Mean to Your Business?
Training and higher standards directly impact the level of service you receive. They reduce risk, improve decision-making, and ensure that the personnel assigned to your property are prepared to handle real-world situations professionally and responsibly.
Well-trained security officers provide more than presence—they deliver awareness, communication, and appropriate response when needed. This results in a more controlled environment, a more professional representation of your business, and a reduced likelihood of incidents escalating unnecessarily.
It is important to recognize that security personnel are highly visible and represent your organization to employees, customers, and the public. The quality, professionalism, and conduct of those individuals reflect directly on your business.
While the state establishes minimum training requirements for licensing, we believe those standards are only a starting point. Our program includes ongoing internal and external training designed to reinforce professionalism, situational awareness, and consistent performance in the field.
This commitment to continued development ensures that our officers are not only licensed, but prepared—capable of maintaining a professional presence, responding appropriately when necessary, and representing your business at a higher standard.
There is a higher standard in the private security guard industry and one that we provide.
