Is Fort Worth a good market for unarmed security jobs?+
Yes — Fort Worth is one of the stronger unarmed security markets in North Texas, driven by its combination of Alliance corridor corporate campuses, major healthcare systems, active downtown and entertainment districts, and growing suburban residential development. The market is somewhat less saturated than Dallas, making it a competitive environment for candidates who want professional unarmed security work.
Do I need a guard card for unarmed security in Fort Worth?+
Yes. Texas requires a valid Level 2 Security Officer Commission for all paid unarmed security work. The commission is issued by the Texas DPS and requires completing a licensed training course, passing a written exam, and submitting fingerprints. DFW Metroplex Training Academy in Fort Worth is one of the longest-running DPS-approved training providers in the area.
What areas of Fort Worth have the most unarmed security jobs?+
The Alliance development corridor in north Fort Worth, the Medical District along Pennsylvania Avenue, downtown Fort Worth and Sundance Square, and the West 7th and Cultural District corridor are the four primary zones with consistent unarmed security demand. Residential communities across the growing south and west Fort Worth suburban areas add significant gate security demand.
What companies hire unarmed security in Fort Worth?+
Allied Universal and Securitas hold major service contracts across Fort Worth's corporate and healthcare sector.

Fort Worth Market

Unarmed Security Demand in Fort Worth

Fort Worth is the 13th largest city in the United States and one of the fastest-growing metros in Texas — and its unarmed security market reflects that growth. The city's economic base spans aerospace and defense manufacturing in the Alliance and west Fort Worth corridors, a thriving downtown and Sundance Square retail and hospitality district, major healthcare systems along the Medical District on Pennsylvania Avenue, and a significant convention and tourism industry anchored by the Fort Worth Convention Center and the Cultural District.

Overnight unarmed security in Fort Worth is heavily weighted toward the Alliance industrial corridor and north Fort Worth commercial properties, where logistics and manufacturing operations run 24 hours and require consistent overnight coverage. Residential community gate security across Fort Worth's growing suburban developments adds another strong category for candidates with flexible scheduling.

Fort Worth employers consistently prioritize professional presentation and reliability for unarmed positions. Bilingual candidates are competitive given Tarrant County's growing Hispanic professional workforce. Active hiring zip codes include 76102, 76104, 76107, 76109, and 76177.
