The Officer at Your Gate Has Already Been Trusted With a Badge
Platinum Protection Security staffs posts with active and retired police officers and sheriff's deputies from agencies across Texas. Not guards who took a weekend course.

Officers from agencies across the state — Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and beyond
The private security industry has a staffing problem. Posts get filled with whoever passed a background check and sat through an orientation. When something actually happens — a confrontation in a parking garage, a person in crisis at a front desk, a theft in progress on a job site — that officer has no experience to draw on.
Our officers do. Every person we put on a post has been commissioned by a Texas law enforcement agency and has stood in situations where the decision mattered.
Retired officers bring judgment built over decades. They read a situation before it develops.
Currently commissioned officers bring active certification, current training, and working knowledge of the law as it stands this year.
What Sets Our Officers Apart
Every officer we place has been commissioned by a Texas law enforcement agency. That's not a marketing line — it's a hiring requirement.
Who Is On Your Property
We tell you which officers are assigned, their background, and what they're authorized to do. You will not get a roster surprise.
A Founder You Can Check
Bart Vasquez retired as a Sergeant from the San Antonio Police Department in 2023 after 21 years, having supervised property crimes, a fear-free environment unit, and the department's mental health detail.
Restraint As The Standard
Our officers come from a profession where skill is measured by how rarely force becomes necessary. That is the most important quality in a security officer and the hardest to hire for.
Real Coverage Across Texas
Our officers come from agencies statewide — not a San Antonio crew driving four hours to your site.
Trusted Across Texas
From construction sites to corporate campuses — what our clients say about working with Platinum Protection.
"We've used three different security companies over the years. Platinum is the first one where I actually know who's on my property — their background, their experience. That transparency alone is worth it."

Property Manager · Houston, TX
"We hired them for a large outdoor event — 2,000 attendees. Their officers handled two separate incidents without escalation. No drama, no police call, no liability. That's exactly what you're paying for."
Sandra R.
Event Director · Austin, TX
"After a string of equipment thefts on our job site, we brought in Platinum's mobile patrol. The thefts stopped immediately. Their officers know how to read a site and they actually show up when they say they will."
Derek W.
Construction Site Superintendent · Dallas, TX
"The difference between a retired peace officer and a weekend-trained guard is night and day. Our residents feel it. Our staff feels it. We renewed our contract without hesitation."
