Full-time security officer positions with benefits across the DFW metro — Parkland, UT Southwestern, AT&T corporate campus, Legacy/Frisco corridor, and Toyota headquarters in Plano. Consistent 40-hour schedules, medical and dental, 401k.
Dallas–Fort Worth is the largest metro in Texas and one of the largest in the United States — 7.8 million people, four major professional sports teams, the nation's third-busiest airport, a medical district that rivals any in the country, and a corporate campus footprint that includes American Airlines, AT&T, Toyota North America, and dozens of Fortune 500 headquarters clustered along the Dallas North Tollway and in Las Colinas. The scale of DFW creates a full-time security employment market that no other Texas metro matches in either depth or variety.
The Medical District is the anchor. Parkland Memorial Hospital — a Level I trauma center, Dallas County's flagship hospital, and one of the highest-acuity healthcare security environments in the state — employs officers directly as Dallas County employees with county benefits, pension, and structured pay scales. UT Southwestern Medical Center, immediately adjacent to Parkland, is a state-affiliated academic medical center with formal career tracks, hazardous duty pay, and shift and weekend differentials. Together, Parkland and UT Southwestern plus Children's Medical, VA North Texas, and Methodist Dallas make the Medical District the single largest concentration of full-time security employment in DFW.
The corporate campus segment is the fastest-growing full-time security employer in the metro. The relocation of AT&T headquarters to Plano (joining Toyota North America, JPMorgan Chase, and Liberty Mutual in the suburban campus corridor) has deepened the demand for professional, full-time corporate security officers in the Plano/Frisco/Allen corridor. Las Colinas in Irving, which has historically anchored corporate security along the I-635 corridor, adds ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark, and the Entertainment and convention complex. These accounts are essentially permanent full-time security postings — the corporations that occupy them don't relocate frequently and don't reduce their security staffing in downturns.
Full-time security in DFW means something different depending on where you're posted — and that variety is one of the reasons experienced officers in this market can build a genuine career rather than just cycling through jobs. At Parkland, full-time means working one of the most demanding healthcare security environments in Texas: the ER is a Level I trauma center, the patient population reflects the full spectrum of Dallas County, and behavioral health incidents are a daily reality. Officers who do this work well develop crisis de-escalation and trauma environment skills that are valued across every healthcare security market in the state.
At Toyota North America's Plano campus or JPMorgan Chase's operations campus, full-time means professional corporate environment — visitor management systems, executive escort protocols, badge access control for thousands of employees, and the expectation that every officer interaction reflects well on a Fortune 500 company. These accounts are predominantly day and swing shift, run Monday through Friday with lighter weekend coverage, and reward officers who present and communicate at a professional corporate standard.
The benefit calculation is what makes full-time genuinely different from flex or part-time work. First In Security's full-time package at $17.75/hr includes medical, dental, vision, 401k, disability (short and long-term), life insurance for employee and family, employee assistance program, pet insurance, a wellness program, and access to 3,000 free online courses. At that benefit level, $17.75/hr is not a $37k/yr job — it's a $45k–$48k/yr total compensation package, depending on how benefits are valued. The gap between flex security and full-time security in DFW is not primarily the hourly rate. It's the benefits.
Full-time security in DFW runs $17–24/hr depending on account type. First In Security posts at $17.75/hr with full benefits stack. Sunstates Fort Worth at $18.03/hr weekly pay. Parkland and UT Southwestern direct employment runs $18–24/hr. Armed full-time accounts run $20–26/hr.
Full-time security in DFW means consistent income, real benefits, and a career track — at Parkland, UT Southwestern, Toyota, AT&T, and across the metro's corporate campus corridor. Medical, 401k, and paid time off at major employers.
