FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What part-time security jobs are available in DFW?+
Active part-time security options in DFW include event flexible at American Airlines Center, Dickies Arena, Globe Life Field, and AT&T Stadium; weekend residential gate shifts at apartment communities across Dallas and Fort Worth; and flexible supplemental patrol coverage for guard firm accounts. Sign up for alerts to be notified when part-time openings are posted.
Can I work part-time security while keeping my full-time job?+
Yes — and this is very common in DFW. Event flexible and weekend residential security are specifically structured for candidates with primary full-time employment. Most employers allow officers to hold other jobs as long as there is no conflict of interest. Disclose other employment when asked on applications.
What does part-time security pay in DFW?+
Part-time security pays the same hourly rate as full-time for the equivalent role — $14–18/hr for entry-level unarmed event and residential, $18–25/hr for experienced and lead positions, $25–36/hr for armed per-diem. Event security often guarantees a minimum number of hours per shift regardless of early event end.
How many hours a week can I work part-time security in DFW?+
It depends on your availability and the demand in your area. Officers on active flexible rosters at event venues during active sports seasons can work 2–4 shifts per week during peak periods. Weekend-only residential gate positions offer 2 consistent days per week. The theoretical ceiling is uncapped — some flexible officers work near-full-time hours across multiple employer rosters.
Do I need full-time security experience to get a part-time job?+
No. Event security and residential gate positions are accessible to candidates with a valid guard card and clean background, with or without full-time security experience. Retail and hospitality backgrounds are specifically valued by event security employers. The flexible market in DFW is one of the most accessible security employment segments for new candidates.
Which DFW venues hire the most part-time security?+
American Airlines Center employs the largest ongoing event security roster in Dallas given the combined Mavericks and Stars home game schedules. Globe Life Field adds Rangers season demand from spring through fall. AT&T Stadium has the highest individual event peaks for Cowboys games. Dickies Arena in Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Stock Show are the largest part-time security employers in Tarrant County.

Part-Time Security Jobs in DFW

The Dallas–Fort Worth security market has a significant and active part-time segment that runs parallel to full-time employment. The metro's combination of major event venues, thousands of apartment communities requiring gate coverage, retail security needs concentrated on evenings and weekends, and a mobile patrol market that uses flexible supplemental staffing creates consistent part-time security demand year-round.

Part-time security in DFW is not a fringe category — it's a structural feature of how guard firms manage staffing. Allied Universal, Securitas, and regional operators maintain active flexible rosters of officers who fill in for call-outs, cover event-specific shifts, and supplement full-time staff on high-demand nights. Officers on these rosters can earn meaningful supplemental income working 1–3 shifts per week alongside primary employment.

Event security is the most flexible part-time category — flexible shifts at American Airlines Center, Dickies Arena, Globe Life Field, and AT&T Stadium can be picked up on a shift-by-shift basis with no minimum hour commitment. Residential gate security often has fixed part-time shifts available for Saturday and Sunday only. Both options work well for candidates seeking predictable secondary income without full-time commitment.

Best Part-Time Security Options in DFW

flexible event security at major DFW venues is the most flexible part-time option — no fixed weekly commitment, shifts tied to the event calendar, and pay per shift with no schedule lock-in. American Airlines Center (Mavericks, Stars seasons), Globe Life Field (Rangers season), AT&T Stadium (Cowboys games), and Dickies Arena (concerts, rodeo) all staff part-time flexible security officers throughout their event calendars.

Weekend-only residential gate security is the most predictable part-time structure — fixed Saturday and Sunday shifts at apartment communities that need gate coverage outside of weekday hours. These positions offer consistent weekly scheduling with no event calendar dependency. Pay is at standard unarmed rates with weekend differentials at some accounts.

flexible supplemental patrol for guard firms covers call-outs and overflow across commercial, industrial, and residential accounts. Officers on supplemental rosters receive shift notifications and accept or decline — offering maximum flexibility for candidates with unpredictable primary schedules. The tradeoff is less scheduling certainty week to week.
