Organizations Ophion has protected
A site, an event or a person.
Start with what you need protected: an armed security program for your property, coverage for one event or Level IV protection for a person. Find it below, or tell us the situation and we’ll point you the right way.
Commercial
Level III · Armed
For a property that needs armed officers week after week: an office building, a private school, a church, a warehouse, a dealership, a job site or a family entertainment center. You get a security program, with posts, patrols and access control written into post orders for your site.
Events
Level III · Level IV as needed
For a date on the calendar: a wedding, a private or brand event, a festival or a convention. We plan the posts and the timeline with whoever is running it, so officers arrive knowing the schedule and the house rules.
Protection
Level IV · Personal protection
For a person, whether that is your family or you. A Level IV protection agent plans the day with you, stays close through arrivals and movement, and works in a suit and tie or plainclothes, from a board meeting to a single court date.

Why Ophion.
Ophion Tactical Security builds security as a program, not a post to fill. Three things hold a program together.
Clear post orders
Written orders for your site: what to cover, who to call and what to document.
Field supervision
Officers work under field supervision, and a supervisor checks that the post orders are being followed.
Reporting and communication
When something happens on your property, it is documented and it reaches you.
The name comes from one of the oldest Greek stories of creation: Ophion, the serpent set to guard the world while it grew. That is still the job.
We protect so others can prosper.

Yes. Ophion Tactical Security holds Texas Department of Public Safety license B28459401. Armed security officers are Level III commissioned security officers, and protection agents are Level IV Personal Protection Officers.
Send us the location, the schedule and what you need protected. We follow up to go over the details and confirm the scope with you. Your quote is built on that scope: the site, event or person, the hours and the staffing it takes.
You get a realistic start date, not a guess. It depends on where the assignment is, how much coverage it needs and how many officers it takes. If your event date is fixed, we tell you plainly whether we can staff it.
Both are Texas private security credentials. Level III commissioned security officers are armed and uniformed, and staff sites, patrols and events. Level IV Personal Protection Officers protect an individual, usually in a suit and tie or plainclothes.
Ophion works in the Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Corpus Christi areas. Coverage outside those metros depends on the assignment, so tell us the location and we’ll confirm whether we can staff it.
