Unarmed Security Officer Jobs San Antonio TX

Overview

San Antonio Unarmed Security: Military Bases, Medical Center, and River Walk

San Antonio's unarmed security market is anchored by the largest military concentration in the US - Joint Base San Antonio spans four installations (Fort Sam Houston, Randolph AFB, Lackland AFB, and Camp Bullis) employing tens of thousands of military and civilian personnel who generate off-base residential, retail, and commercial security demand across Bexar County. The South Texas Medical Center adds the healthcare security dimension.

GardaWorld holds walk-in hiring events at their SA branch and actively recruits for unarmed accounts across the metro. Sunstates posts full-time positions with weekly pay. Allied Universal maintains large SA contracts across corporate, government-adjacent, and residential accounts. Officers with Level 2 and overnight availability place faster in SA security than any other candidate profile.

Overview & Duties

Role Overview

What Unarmed Security Officers Do in San Antonio

Downtown and River Walk security is the signature unarmed security environment in San Antonio - the River Walk hotel and entertainment corridor with 40+ hotels, restaurants, and tourist venues generates around-the-clock security demand that distinguishes SA's downtown security market from any other Texas city. Officers at River Walk accounts work in a high-traffic, hospitality-oriented environment with strong customer service expectations.

Military-adjacent residential and retail security covers the massive apartment and commercial development surrounding JBSA's four installations - gate coverage, HOA patrol, and retail floor security for the communities that serve tens of thousands of military families. The South Texas Medical Center adds hospital and healthcare security accounts comparable to Houston's TMC in scope for the local market.
