With South Houston being such a popular place with residents and tourists, it is only natural that a variety of South Houston security concerns come up frequently.

In fact, after only using our security services in South Houston for a few weeks, most clients report a drop in illicit activity of as much as 30 percent.
Event and Other Special Security

Because of this, Ranger Guard and Investigations prioritize providing unarmed security officers South Houston clients know will be professional, well-trained, and able to handle whatever situation they encounter. When it comes to events and other types of exceptional security, unarmed private security officers fill an essential role.
