About Us

At BOLT SECURITY COMPANY, our goal is to provide high profile visibility and serve as a visible deterrent, whether on an institutional, commercial, or personal level. Our security personnel are professionally developed and personally committed to fulfilling responsibilities to the highest standards.

To be able to offer a truly professional service, an organization must have the ability to address their clients’ needs. Therefore we look to our clients to assist us in determining their requirements for themselves and their organization, so that a security service can be instated which not only meets, but also anticipates and exceeds customer requirements. This range of service must include technical expertise and assistance, training and upgrading program, internal organization, and control procedures.

We take every care in the hiring of security personnel, exceeding the requirements of the Employment Standards Act. Security officers are required to have a minimum standard of education to meet the responsibilities of their assignments. All of Bolt Security Company’s officers are trained and licensed by the Texas Department of Public Safety as required by law.

Their characters must be irreproachable and they must be bondable. With the image of our client in mind, our security officers are required to maintain a professional appearance and be courteous, polite, and physically fit to perform the duties assigned.

Another crucial element of quality Security Company Program is the supervision provided by the contractor – the Security Company. The owners of Bolt Security have over thirty years of experience in law enforcement and management combined.

Supervisory officers are fully trained in all security matters pertaining to the client’s location and are responsible for the conduct of the security officers under their supervision. Furthermore, they are kept informed of the client’s requirements, through frequent meetings and memorandums.
