Level 2 Guard Vs. Level 3 Guard

A security guard or security officer is responsible for monitoring a specific area or building to prevent violent incidents, theft, or other events that may endanger people or property. To get a security certificate in Texas, a person must undergo a security guard training course. There are a number of types of licenses or “levels” to obtain that determine the kind of security work you are able to do. 

In Houston, TX, a level 2 non-commissioned security license allows for a Houston Texas security guard to provide unarmed security services. In contrast, for an armed security guard license, a level 3 certificate is required.

What Makes a Good Security Officer?

Whether you are looking to obtain an armed level 3 security license or unarmed level 2 security guard license, we have you covered. All of our training is delivered by world-class instructors and in accordance with state regulations. Besides our training, there are other skills and attributes that can make you a good security professional. They include:

Honesty

In Houston, Texas, officers must undergo a thorough background check. Honesty is one of the key attributes that people want to find in a guard. This will be the person in charge of watching the access of a building, protecting a business from theft, and taking care of people. If they are level 3 certified, they will be entitled to carry a weapon; honesty is a verifiable requirement.

Alertness

A good guard is the one that is always alert and focused. They need to be aware of their surroundings and know the facilities very well. This will help them detect any potentially dangerous situations.

Physical Fitness

Good physical health contributes to better mental alertness. Due to the nature of the job, a guard must be in good shape, have a healthy weight, and exercise regularly. They should be able to react quickly to unpredicted events, handle stressful situations, and make the right decisions when under pressure.

Communication Skills

A guard will be in contact with clients, residents, customers, i.e., the people they protect. For this reason, it is very important they present a courteous and friendly attitude towards clients and the general public. Good communication skills can be particularly useful when facing a challenging situation. Written communication skills are also important; often, roles require regular reporting, especially documenting when you needed to take action. These are the attributes that we look for in our applicants and that we encourage during our security guard training program at our academy in Houston, Texas.

The training for the level 4 program is more intense and covers more time on the range handling a weapon in a variety of situations, as well as looking at close quarter protection. Our training is intentionally demanding because our graduates are recognized as some of the best in the industry.
