Security Guard Services in Keller, TX
Licensed unarmed and armed officers, mobile patrol, and construction site coverage for Keller businesses, job sites, neighborhoods, and events. Dispatched from Fort Worth under a Texas Class C license.
We don't post warm bodies. We deploy trained officers behind a real threat assessment.
Low Crime Is Not the Same as Low Exposure
Keller posts a low crime rate. The 2024 figures show 29 burglaries, 263 thefts, 13 auto thefts, 3 robberies, and 19 assaults, and the city's crime index of 61.7 sits at about a quarter of the U.S. average. That index still rose 4% over 2023. Owners read the low number and conclude the city polices itself.
Theft is the volume crime here, and theft tracks value. Inside three miles of Keller Town Center the average household income clears $220,000 and the average home value clears $620,000. Theft crews read that profile the way a lender does.
Keller also sits on through-traffic. Alliance lies to the west. The Westlake and Southlake campuses of Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Sabre lie to the east. US 377 and Keller Parkway carry the traffic between them. A strange vehicle on Keller Parkway at 2 a.m. needs no story. That is what a scout wants.
Police posture. Keller PD staffs a 24-hour station at 330 Rufe Snow Drive, non-emergency dispatch at 817-743-4522, and runs Vacation Watch, a Community Camera Program, School Campus Patrol, and National Night Out. Those programs work. None puts a person on your property at 3 a.m., and none writes a report you can hand an insurer.
Construction exposure. Old Town Keller Phase II rebuilds the district east of US 377 between Keller Parkway and Bear Creek Parkway. The South Elm Street reconstruction broke ground in March 2025 and targets a summer 2028 finish. The city budgets it at $30.7 million, with $7.59 million from Tarrant County. The work includes a full bridge rebuild over the creek plus new drainage and utilities. Old Town holds staged pipe, copper, and fuel on open ground until 2028.
The rest of the base sorts into five buckets. Retail at Keller Town Center, 101 Town Center Ln, 120,279 square feet anchored by Tom Thumb, plus the strip trade on Rufe Snow Drive and Keller Parkway. Medical, led by the Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospital on South Main Street and the clinics near it. Education, with Keller ISD above 30,000 students across campuses holding empty lots on a published calendar. Houses of worship along the 377 corridor. Multifamily, including The Lyric at Keller Center Stage on North Main Street.
Events add the sixth. Keller Summer Nights brings concerts to Keller Town Hall on June Thursdays. The Haunted Camp Out takes Bear Creek Park in October. Holly Days fills Keller Town Center on the first Friday of December. Each puts crowds, vendor cash, and unattended vehicles in one place on a published date.
What We Post in Keller
Seven lines cover what Keller has on the ground, staffed off the roster behind our DFW security coverage. Full post types live on the security guard services page.
Retail & Center Posts
Uniformed presence at Town Center and the Rufe Snow and Keller Parkway strips. Closing escorts, lot rounds, and theft documentation a manager can send corporate.
Construction Site Security
Gate control, materials logs, and overnight coverage for the Old Town Keller and South Elm Street work. Copper, wire, and fuel walk off staged sites first.
Medical & Clinic Coverage
Lobby and after-hours posts for the Baylor Scott & White emergency and outpatient cluster. Controlled access to clinical areas and staff escorts after late shifts.

Service-hours coverage for the 377-corridor congregations. Parking direction, entry watch, and coordination with an existing volunteer safety team.
Event Security
Staffing for events and tournaments at Bear Creek Park, Keller Sports Park, and Town Hall. Access points, crowd flow, and a documented incident chain.
Vacant & After-Hours Patrol
Coverage for empty tenant space and closed offices. Randomized arrival times and a time-stamped log on every pass.
Four Steps From Call to Coverage
No contract starts with a headcount. It starts with a walk of the property.
We walk the site with you. Entry points, sightlines, lighting, camera coverage, and what a person on foot reaches without passing anything that records.
Post orders name the tasks, rounds, escalation path, and the Keller PD non-emergency number. The officer knows the job before the shift, not during it.
We assign officers to a site and keep them there. A steady officer learns which vehicles belong on the lot. A rotating stranger never does.
Every shift produces a written log with times, rounds, contacts, and incidents. Boards, insurers, and detectives take a log. None take a memory.
Why a Local Operator Beats a Call Center
National brokers sell Keller coverage off a map. The account manager sits in another state, the officer comes from a subcontractor pool, and the site survey happens by phone if it happens. The client learns this on the first incident.
- Our office sits at 4364 Western Center Blvd #2105 in Fort Worth. Keller is a twenty-minute drive, not a dispatch region.
- Officers work for us. We file their license and commission applications, the employer's obligation under Texas law, and we know who stands on your lot tonight.
- Post orders name Keller specifics: the Rufe Snow station, the non-emergency line, the event calendar behind each month's risk.
- Escalation reaches a person who has walked the site, not a ticket queue.
A manager walks your property before we quote it, and the quote reflects what we saw.
Licensing, stated right. Thirteen Alpha Solutions LLC holds TX DPS Class C License #C31017501 from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Regulatory Services Division — Private Security Program. Unarmed personnel work as noncommissioned security officers holding an individual license. Armed personnel work as commissioned security officers holding a security officer commission. Level II, III, and IV are training courses, not license classes. A company that calls them license levels tells you what it does not know.
Background. A retired U.S. Navy counterintelligence and HUMINT professional founded the company after twenty years supporting Naval Special Warfare and NCIS. That is why the walk-through comes first.
What Keller Coverage Costs
We publish bands so you can budget before you call. The final rate depends on hours, post count, site risk, and lead time. We price above the low-cost end of this market on purpose.
Threat and vulnerability assessments referenced on this site are performed by PRO-tect Premier Investigations, an affiliated firm in which our founder holds an ownership interest. An assessment is a standalone product. Findings belong to the client and may be used with any provider. An assessment does not create, imply, or precede a guard services agreement. See the threat assessments page.
