Fort Worth is a different market from Dallas. Logistics and industrial property is concentrated to the north around AllianceTexas. The Stockyards and the Cultural District draw visitors and events, and downtown is compact around Sundance Square. Arlington sits between the two cities, and Weatherford and Burleson extend the area west and south.
Clients who operate in both Fort Worth and Dallas can have their coverage scoped as one security program, with post orders written for each site. See armed security in Dallas.

Three disciplines. One standard.
What Ophion does in this market, by discipline. Each assignment is scoped with you before anyone is scheduled.
Commercial armed security in Fort Worth
In the Fort Worth area, Ophion offers armed coverage for warehouses and industrial sites, construction sites, private schools and churches.
A distribution center is secured at the gate and in the yard. Post orders cover who may enter, how trucks and trailers are logged and how the yard is patrolled between arrivals. A job site adds gate access control during working hours and after-hours coverage once the crews leave, with supervisor checks on the post.
Coverage is scheduled to your operating hours. Mobilization depends on the location, scope and staffing requirements, and once the assignment is defined Ophion gives you a realistic start timeline.
Event security in Fort Worth
Ophion staffs weddings, private and brand events and festivals and conventions in the Fort Worth area with uniformed Level III officers, planned with the venue, planner or organizer.
Large outdoor events are permitted by the City’s Office of Outdoor Events, part of the Public Events Department. Its rules cover many public-property events and outdoor gatherings on private property expected to draw more than 500 people, so check early whether yours needs a permit. Ophion plans the private security with you: posts, timing and points of contact.
Some events use more than one discipline. A celebrity appearance, for example, may use uniformed officers for the crowd and Level IV protection agents for the principal.
Executive protection in Fort Worth
Ophion Tactical Security provides Level IV Personal Protection Officers in Fort Worth and the surrounding counties for executives, public figures and families. Agents are assigned to the person, not to a post, and work in a suit and tie or plainclothes to fit the setting.
Assignments are planned around the principal’s schedule. Advance work on venues, entrances, exits and routes is scaled to what the schedule involves, and agents coordinate with assistants, venue security and drivers. A schedule that moves between Fort Worth and Dallas is planned as one assignment.
To start, send the dates and locations. Names and sensitive details can wait until we talk. Read more about executive protection in Texas.
