What you get with Temporary Security Services
Security needs are not always permanent. Whether it is a one-day event, a seasonal surge, a labor dispute, or an emergency gap in coverage, PGP Security deploys licensed officers on short notice and scales up or down as your situation changes — with no long-term commitment required.
PGP Security offers flexible and efficient temporary security services available on short notice, within only hours. We maintain officers on standby and can typically have a guard at your location within a few hours of your call. This makes us a go-to option for businesses dealing with emergencies, last-minute event coverage, or unexpected situations that require a quick security response.
Our temporary guards are the same licensed, background-vetted officers we deploy for long-term contracts — there is no compromise in quality just because the assignment is short-term. From a single officer for a few hours to a full team for weeks, we scale to match your exact need.

Built for results
Every deployment is staffed, supervised, and documented to the same standard — whether you need one officer or a full team.
Same-Day Deployment
Urgent coverage dispatched within hours when you need protection right now. We maintain officers on standby specifically for short-notice situations.
Fully Scalable
Add or reduce officers as your event or project requirements change — from a single guard to a full security team, deployed and adjusted as needed.
No Long-Term Lock-In
Flexible terms from a single day to several months. Pay only for what you need without being locked into an ongoing contract.
Same Quality as Long-Term Officers
All temporary guards are the same licensed, background-checked, drug-tested officers we use for permanent assignments — no compromise in quality.
Event & Emergency Ready
From scheduled events to unexpected emergencies — labor disputes, special deliveries, sudden coverage gaps — we respond to virtually any short-notice security need.
Why choose us for temporary security services
Hours, Not Days
Most security companies need days to staff a temporary assignment. We can have licensed officers at your location within hours of your call.
No Minimum Commitment
Need security for just one shift? No problem. We do not impose minimum contract lengths on temporary assignments.
Licensed & Vetted, Every Time
Temporary does not mean lower quality. Every officer we send holds a valid Texas security license and has passed our full background and drug screening.
