FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What security jobs are hiring in Fort Worth right now?+
Active Fort Worth security openings span Alliance corridor corporate campus security, JPS Health Network and Texas Health Harris Methodist hospital security, retail LP at Hulen Mall and Alliance Town Center, Dickies Arena event security, residential gate coverage across Tarrant County, and overnight industrial patrol in west Fort Worth. Sign up for alerts to be notified when openings match your area.
How do I become a security officer in Fort Worth?+
Complete a DPS-approved Level 2 training course in the Fort Worth area — DFW Metroplex Training Academy is one of the longest-running providers. Pass the written exam, submit fingerprints through IdentoGO, and apply through the Texas DPS Private Security portal. Total cost is typically $100–$260 and the process takes 2–4 weeks. Once your commission is active, Fort Worth's volume of openings makes finding your first position straightforward.
What are the best security jobs in Fort Worth?+
The highest-paying and most stable security positions in Fort Worth are JPS Health Network direct county employment (healthcare security with full Tarrant County benefits), Alliance corridor corporate campus security at American Airlines and BNSF Railway, and armed financial institution security in downtown Fort Worth. For candidates who want varied work, Fort Worth Stock Show security over the full 23-day run is one of the most unique and consistently rewarding security assignments in the DFW metro.
Does Fort Worth have more or fewer security jobs than Dallas?+
Dallas has a significantly larger security job market overall — it's a bigger city with more commercial density. Fort Worth's market is strong and growing but operates at a different scale. The advantage for candidates is that Fort Worth can be slightly less competitive at the entry level, making it easier to get established in the industry before moving toward higher-paying Dallas assignments if desired.
What security companies hire in Fort Worth?+
Allied Universal and Securitas are the two largest contract security employers in Fort Worth. American Airlines, BNSF Railway, and Lockheed Martin maintain in-house security programs at their Alliance corridor operations. JPS Health Network and Texas Health Harris Methodist hire security officers directly. Regional guard firms including several Texas-based operators also hold contracts across Fort Worth commercial and residential accounts.
What is the fastest way to get a security job in Fort Worth?+
Get your guard card active, apply to Allied Universal and Securitas Fort Worth offices, and express clear evening and weekend availability. If the Stock Show season is approaching, apply to guard firms holding the Will Rogers Memorial Center contract 6–8 weeks before the late January opening. The combination of an active commission, clear availability, and timely application gives you the best chance of working within 1–2 weeks in Fort Worth.
