Hire 24/7 Security Guards in DFW — Continuous Onsite Coverage

A 24/7 security contract means a licensed security officer is physically on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no gaps in coverage. EJR Agency structures this with three or four officer shifts per 24-hour cycle and builds handoff overlap into every shift change so the post is never empty. This is fundamentally different from mobile patrol (scheduled drive-by visits) or single-shift contracts (overnight only or business-hours only). For properties that need an officer present at all times — for insurance compliance, regulatory requirements, active threat response, or high-value asset protection — 24/7 is the only model that delivers it.

24/7 contracts are priced at a competitive per-hour rate that reflects the volume commitment of continuous coverage. Because a 24/7 contract represents 168 hours per week of guard time, the per-hour rate is generally lower than ad-hoc or short-term hourly deployments. The total monthly cost depends on whether officers are armed or unarmed, the number of officers required per shift, and the specific risk profile of the site. EJR Agency provides detailed, transparent proposals that break down all costs before any commitment — no hidden fees, no minimums beyond the contracted hours.

Staffing a single 24/7 post requires a rotating roster of officers — typically four to six trained personnel cycling through the shifts to allow for time off, vacation, sick leave, and overlap coverage. This is one of the reasons 24/7 contracts require a security partner with depth on the roster. A small company that can barely staff one shift cannot reliably staff 24/7. EJR Agency maintains the licensed officer pool and supervisor infrastructure required to run 24/7 contracts at scale across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Yes, EJR Agency staffs 24/7 contracts for any duration — from a single weekend or a 30-day project window to multi-year ongoing contracts. Common short-duration 24/7 needs include post-incident extended coverage after a break-in, threat response while a situation is active, construction phase coverage during high-risk build windows, and fire watch combined with general security during system impairments. We are equipped to scale staffing up to 24/7 and back down as the situation requires, with no long-term commitment required.

Yes, EJR Agency provides both armed and unarmed officers for 24/7 security contracts based on the site's risk profile. Armed officers hold Texas Level III or Level IV commissions from the Department of Public Safety and are typically deployed to high-value sites, properties with documented threat history, executive residences, and cash-handling operations. Unarmed officers handle access control, perimeter patrol, and visitor management at lower-risk sites. We conduct a site risk assessment to recommend the appropriate level for your property.

Every shift change on an EJR Agency 24/7 contract includes a structured handoff: the incoming officer arrives before the outgoing officer departs, post orders and any incidents from the prior shift are reviewed, and the outgoing officer briefs the incoming officer on site conditions before signing out. This overlap ensures the post is never unattended and information is passed forward consistently across every 24-hour cycle. Supervisors also conduct unannounced site visits at random intervals — including during shift changes — to verify protocols are being followed.

Every 24/7 contract includes digital daily activity reports delivered to your team across every shift. Reports include timestamped patrol logs, access and visitor records, any incidents observed, and shift-handoff notes. Your insurance carrier and property management team have continuous documented visibility into what is happening at the site, which supports both premises liability documentation and claim defensibility if an incident occurs. Custom reporting formats are available for property managers who need data structured for portfolio-level oversight.

EJR Agency can typically stand up a 24/7 security contract within 48 to 72 hours for most properties across Dallas-Fort Worth, with emergency situations accommodated faster when the circumstances require it. The process includes a site walkthrough to identify access points, risk zones, and post locations, followed by post-orders development, roster assignment, and supervisor scheduling. Continuous contracts require a rotating four-to-six officer roster with handoff overlap built in, which is more setup than a single-shift deployment — doing it right at the start prevents coverage problems later. Because 24/7 contracts draw from our existing licensed officer pool rather than recruiting from scratch, the stand-up window stays measured in days, not weeks.
