Licensed armed security in San Antonio
Ophion Tactical Security works in San Antonio under Texas DPS license B28459401. Level IV Personal Protection Officers handle protection assignments, and Level III commissioned security officers staff properties and events.
The San Antonio work we can describe publicly is a protection assignment. The Wicked Virgo case study covers two trips connected to a sensitive family reunification, where agents documented events and relied on de-escalation instead of confrontation.
The city’s visitor economy is concentrated downtown, around the River Walk, the convention center and the Pearl, where hotels and event venues sit close together. Farther out, Alamo Heights and Stone Oak are mostly offices, schools and churches, and the I-35 corridor toward Schertz and New Braunfels carries warehouse and distribution property. Each calls for a different kind of post.

Three disciplines. One standard.
What Ophion does in this market, by discipline. Each assignment is scoped with you before anyone is scheduled.
Commercial security in San Antonio
Ophion offers Level III armed coverage for commercial properties, private schools, churches and hotels in the San Antonio area.
School post orders are built around arrival, dismissal, visitor entry and campus events. Church coverage follows the weekly calendar: worship services, weekday programs and events on campus. In both cases officers work from written post orders agreed with the school or church, and reports go to the point of contact you name.
Hotels can use uniformed Level III officers, Level IV protection agents in a suit and tie, or both, depending on the lobby and the event floor.
Event security in San Antonio
Ophion provides event security for weddings, private events and conventions in the San Antonio area. Officers are briefed on the post orders, the event schedule and the venue layout before doors open, and they de-escalate first when a guest becomes a problem.
If your event includes a street procession, the City requires a permit, and a designated San Antonio police officer works with the organizer on the traffic safety plan (see the City’s Processions and Public Assembly Permits). Ophion plans the private security for the event itself with your venue or organizer.
Executive protection in San Antonio
In San Antonio, Ophion Tactical Security provided Level IV personal protection for Kayla Eiken, known professionally as Wicked Virgo, during a sensitive family reunification. The assignment is described in the Wicked Virgo case study.
The same service is available to executives, public figures and families in San Antonio and the surrounding counties: armed Level IV Personal Protection Officers, in a suit and tie or plainclothes, planned around the principal’s schedule. Agents keep a calm, non-aggressive presence and rely on de-escalation rather than confrontation.
