Unarmed Security Guards & Officers in San Antonio, TX
Licensed unarmed officers for lobbies, retail floors, construction sites, and events where presence and reporting matter more than force.
Unarmed Security Guards in San Antonio: Local Market Overview
San Antonio is a hospitality city, and hospitality security is unarmed security. The River Walk hotels, the Henry B. González Convention Center, the Alamo Plaza visitor flow and the Pearl's restaurants and weekend farmers market all need officers who function as part of the guest experience — visible, calm, and far more likely to give directions than to confront anyone. Away from downtown, the same profile covers a different set of problems: construction gates in Stone Oak and the far west side, retail floors at North Star Mall and The Rim, apartment garages and package rooms across the north central corridor, and warehouse yards feeding the Toyota plant on the south side. Texas requires Level II registration for non-commissioned officers, and Calvis verifies it with the employing agency before anyone works a San Antonio site.
The Texas Department of Public Safety Private Security Bureau registers non-commissioned security officers, who must complete the Level II training course and pass a criminal history review before working. Level II may be administered by a licensed training school or by a licensed guard company through an approved instructor. Security companies must hold their own DPS license and carry required insurance. Calvis verifies Level II registration and agency licensure for every unarmed guard placed in San Antonio.
Fiesta San Antonio runs roughly eleven days each April across more than 100 separate events citywide, from Night in Old San Antonio in La Villita to the Battle of Flowers Parade through downtown.

Common Questions About Unarmed Security Guards in San Antonio
What registration does an unarmed guard need in San Antonio?
A Texas DPS Level II non-commissioned security officer registration, issued after the Level II training course and a criminal history review. Calvis verifies the registration is current and tied to a licensed Texas security company before any guard works your site.
Can Calvis staff up for Fiesta or a convention week?
Yes, and those weeks book out. Fiesta in April and major convention center bookings pull heavily on the local licensed guard pool at the same time. We recommend four to six weeks of lead time for downtown and River Walk coverage during those periods.
Our River Walk restaurant only needs coverage Thursday through Sunday nights.
That works. Partial-week evening coverage is one of the most common downtown San Antonio arrangements. Calvis can schedule recurring weekend-night shifts and adjust the hours seasonally as tourist volume and patio hours shift through the year.
