Best warehouse security companies in Fort Worth (2026)
The AllianceTexas development on Fort Worth's north side is one of the largest inland logistics hubs in the country — a 27,000-acre master-planned freight ecosystem anchored by the BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility and the Fort Worth Alliance cargo airport. Add the CentrePort intermodal complex on the east side and aerospace manufacturing supply chains, and warehouse security here operates at a scale that dwarfs most metros.
Running a DC inside Alliance or near CentrePort means rail-truck interchange volume, defense-adjacent supply security, and the appointment-window discipline that a 24/7 intermodal hub demands. The agencies Calvis vetted below were chosen for that logistics depth across the western anchor of the DFW metroplex.

Inside warehouse & logistics security in Fort Worth
Fort Worth logistics concentrate at two giants and a defense layer: the AllianceTexas hub with its BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility and Alliance cargo airport up I-35W, the CentrePort intermodal complex between Fort Worth and the DFW airport, and aerospace-and-defense manufacturing whose supply chains carry tighter security expectations. The Stockyards tourism economy adds event-adjacent demand, but the warehouse picture is pure intermodal scale. Calvis surfaces agencies built for that — rail-interchange gate discipline, massive-yard patrol, and access control aligned with defense-supply standards.
Matched to
what you need.
Security needs aren't one-size-fits-all. The Fort Worth network spans these warehouse & logistics security specialties — tell us what you need and we match you to the agencies built for it.
Truck-Gate & Dock Access Control
At the AllianceTexas DCs feeding the BNSF intermodal facility, truck inbounds sync to rail-interchange schedules where a single late or mismatched trailer cascades across the whole hub. These officers verify seals, reconcile BOLs against intermodal appointment windows, and screen drivers at the gate so the 24/7 Alliance freight flow stays clean and on cadence.
- Ideal for
- Intermodal-fed DCs synced to rail-interchange scheduling
- Coverage
- Alliance, Haslet, Roanoke, Northlake
Yard & Perimeter Patrol
The trailer pools across the AllianceTexas footprint and the CentrePort yards near the DFW airport span hundreds of acres of staged equipment under wide-open North Texas sky. Patrol officers run timed trailer counts across that scale, watch the fence lines abutting the BNSF rail interchange, and log every drop so a missing unit off Westport Parkway is caught on the next sweep, not at audit.
- Ideal for
- Massive intermodal trailer yards with large outdoor footprints
- Coverage
- Alliance, CentrePort, Haslet, Westlake
Cargo & Inventory Loss Prevention
Aerospace and defense supply chains routing through the Alliance and CentrePort corridors carry controlled and high-value components where loss is a compliance and security exposure beyond ordinary shrink. Loss-prevention officers enforce tighter chain-of-custody on controlled parts, reconcile pick-to-ship counts at the Haslet and CentrePort DCs, and watch the high-value staging that defense-adjacent freight demands.
- Ideal for
- Aerospace, defense, and high-value component distribution
- Coverage
- Haslet, CentrePort, Saginaw, Blue Mound
Remote Video & Alarm Monitoring
The sheer footprint of the Alliance and CentrePort yards means cameras cover ground that patrols can't be everywhere at once, especially overnight. These providers monitor dock-door and yard feeds with live talk-down, verify alarms before dispatching Tarrant or Denton County response, and trim the false-alarm fines that add up across sprawling I-35W logistics campuses.
- Ideal for
- Large-footprint hubs where patrols can't cover all ground at once
- Coverage
- Fort Worth Alliance, Justin, Keller, Watauga
Access Control & Badge Management
A defense-adjacent distribution site in the Alliance corridor has to prove exactly who reached controlled-parts areas, while big-box DCs there churn seasonal labor every peak. These teams administer badge issuance and revocation, run carrier and visitor check-in, and zone access so controlled rooms, the dock apron, and the office floor each stay locked to the right cleared workers.
- Ideal for
- Defense-supply and large-headcount intermodal DCs
- Coverage
- Alliance, Haslet, Roanoke, Trophy Club
A real bar,
not an ad auction.
Every agency in Fort Worth clears the same four checks before it can take warehouse & logistics security work. Licensing is verified through the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau.
State licensing verified
Every agency holds an active state security license. We confirm it before any agency can take work.
Active insurance on file
Current general-liability (and where applicable, workers' comp) coverage is verified, not assumed.
Background-checked officers
Agencies field licensed, background-checked guards — the people who actually show up on site.
Tracked reliability record
Shift-reliability is measured on the platform. Agencies that no-show or slip on coverage are removed.
What warehouse & logistics security costs in Fort Worth
Standard posts, patrol, and monitoring. Recurring contracts are typically priced below on-demand rates.
Coverage where an armed presence is warranted. Rates vary with risk profile and shift length.

Common
questions
Calvis confirms each agency holds active Texas DPS Private Security Bureau licensing and current insurance, then weights the shortlist toward firms with real intermodal and defense-supply experience — AllianceTexas or CentrePort references, documented seal-verification and large-yard patrol procedures, and chain-of-custody protocols for controlled parts. Office-only guard firms are filtered out of the warehouse list.
Unarmed warehouse and dock officers in the Fort Worth market generally run $28–44/hr, with armed coverage — common around defense-adjacent or high-value cargo — around $52–85/hr. Pricing depends on shift coverage, the number of simultaneous gate and patrol posts across a large footprint, and the custody requirements of defense-supply freight.
Calvis is not licensed and is not a security agency — it connects you with partner agencies that hold the licenses. In Texas that means the agency is licensed through the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Private Security Bureau, and Calvis verifies that standing before any agency appears on this page.
Yes — that's a deliberate strength of this Fort Worth list. Because so much Alliance and CentrePort volume ties to aerospace and defense supply chains, the recommended agencies are screened for controlled-parts chain of custody, restricted-area access logging, and the heightened vetting that defense-adjacent distribution expects.
Hiring directly means you verify DPS licensing, chase insurance certificates, and gamble on whether a firm can actually run security at AllianceTexas scale. Calvis pre-vets that, matches you to agencies with proven Fort Worth intermodal and defense-supply experience, and gives you one point of contact to scale gate, patrol, and access-control coverage across a sprawling logistics footprint.
