What a DPS-licensed academy means for you
Choosing a licensed academy protects your time, your tuition, and your path to a Texas security license. As a DPS-licensed training academy, we are accountable to the state, not just to ourselves.
- State oversight. Our academy license is issued and regulated by the Texas DPS Private Security Program, so instruction is delivered under an approved framework rather than an unregulated one.
- Training that counts. Our courses are designed to prepare you for licensing requirements administered by Texas DPS, so the hours you invest go toward a recognized credential. [verify with DPS/TOPS]
- Transparency. You can independently confirm our license status before you enroll.
- Training, not placement. We prepare you to meet Texas licensing standards to become a security officer. We provide instruction and consulting only, and we do not provide or promise job placement, guard, patrol, or staffing services.
Regulatory authorities
We encourage every prospective student to know the regulator behind the credential. The following authorities govern private security licensing in Texas:
- Texas DPS Private Security Program — the state body that licenses security academies, officers, and companies. Learn more at the Texas DPS Private Security Program.
- TOPS portal — the Texas Online Private Security system where individual license applications are submitted and managed. Access it through the TOPS portal. [verify with DPS/TOPS]
