San Antonio Overnight Security: River Walk, Military Adjacent, and a Persistent Shortage

Military-adjacent residential communities surrounding JBSA need overnight gate and patrol coverage seven nights a week. The South Texas Medical Center's hospital network runs full overnight staffing across multiple campuses.
