Construction site security in Houston — after hours, vacant sites, equipment.
Houston job sites sit empty after dark with copper, generators, and tools on them. We staff overnight and weekend watch — armed or unarmed — with written reports. David Posey hired that post and said the officers took care of business.
Houston Tactical Agency provides licensed construction watch officers — armed or unarmed — across the Greater Houston metro. We deter theft of tools, materials, and equipment, control site access after hours, and deliver clear incident reports. Local ownership, 24/7 dispatch, Texas DPS license B10550901.
Why construction sites need dedicated security
Houston job sites are high-value and empty after dark — copper, generators, and tools walk when nobody is on the fence line. David Posey hired Houston Tactical Agency to watch property under construction and reported that the officers handled themselves and took care of business. That is the job: be on time, stay on post, write down what happened.

How we staff construction posts
Tell us the address, hours, whether the post is armed or unarmed, any known risk factors, and the project timeline. We staff the appropriate license level, issue written expectations, and keep local 24/7 dispatch available for shift changes or emergency additions. Officers are expected to be on time — every shift.
Heat, overtime, and vacant phases
Houston summers and overnight shifts are why we write the hours into the proposal. Vacant phases and weekend holds are different from a manned weekday site. Tell us the address, whether the post is armed, and the project calendar. One contractor, one license, one dispatch number across the metro.
What construction watch is priced on
Hours (nights and weekends), armed vs unarmed, how many gates, how long the phase lasts, and whether you add live video. A two-week vacant hold is not a twelve-month build. We quote the calendar, not a flyer rate.
Everything you need to know about this post.
Do you provide both armed and unarmed construction security?
Yes. We match the license level to the risk. Many sites start unarmed and move to armed when high-value equipment arrives or theft history increases.
Can you cover multiple phases or temporary increases in staffing?
Yes. Construction schedules change. We adjust hours and headcount under the same agreement and local supervision.
Are your officers experienced with construction environments?
Yes. Construction watch is a core service line. Officers understand site hazards, access points, and the need for clear, professional reporting to superintendents and owners.
Do you also offer video monitoring for construction sites?
Yes. We provide 24/7 remote camera monitoring with a live officer watching and reporting. Many clients combine on-site officers with video for layered coverage.
Also in this category.

24/7 video monitoring
Live remote video monitoring with an officer watching and reporting — not a DIY camera shop.

Local owner. Licensed officers. A proposal — not a call center.
