* Represents our program goal, not a guarantee. Security 360 is included with every product line. Under it we identify and correct process inefficiencies, deploy AI agents for routine work, and guide the security leader and their team on streamlining daily operations. Actual time savings vary by site and staffing and depend on each client’s participation. The more the client team engages in the program and the more work it transfers to MTC Group, the more time we return. A baseline is established with each client during the initial consultation. Advisory and consulting services, including security policy development, GSOC design, multi-site security master planning, guard force assessments and TAPA and CTPAT program readiness, are separate from Security 360 and are provided under their own engagement and fee.

Who hires off-duty police through MTC Group

Every buyer who pays for a post. Here is yours.

Construction and civilLane closures, traffic control, night work, DOT and utility jobs. A sworn officer with a marked car is what the permit asks for and what drivers slow down for.
Venues and eventsStadiums, arenas, casinos, conventions, concerts. Ingress, egress, traffic and crowd posts booked per event, no long-term contract.
Retail and multi-siteConvenience, pharmacy, grocery, value retail, jewelry, firearms. The store where a sworn officer at the door changes behavior before anything happens. One relationship, every location, one invoice.
Logistics and distributionTerminals, drop yards, cross-docks, distribution centers. Gate posts and night shifts where cargo is exposed. I ran this exact spend for thirteen years.
HealthcareEmergency departments, campuses, parking structures. Presence that de-escalates, with arrest authority and dispatch behind it when it does not.
Schools and districtsCampuses, dismissal, games and events across a district. Verified, sworn officers on every post, scheduled from one place.
Property, office and critical sitesTowers, lobbies, garages, data centers, energy and utility perimeters. The posts where a guard is standing today and a sworn officer should be.

Not on the list? If you pay for a post, bring me the post. Thirty minutes tells you whether the math works.

The difference

A sworn officer, not a guard

Arrest authority, state-standard training and certification, and dispatch and responding units behind them. Routine patrol is not a presence on your site; a post is. The first call works out which of your posts need one.

Why these posts fill

Market rate to the officer, paid in one to three days

The officer is paid market rate, insured on the post, and paid within one to three days of the shift. That is why the posts fill.

The money

What off-duty police officers cost, and what the difference buys

On the posts worth converting, a sworn officer costs less than the guard contract it replaces.

The officer is paid market rate, set with a local coordinator and checked against market data. Every post is insured, and nothing comes out of the officer's end. Rates vary by jurisdiction and post, so I quote against your sites.

You are not trying to spend less on security. You are trying to get more out of the budget you already defend. Put a sworn officer where a post needs a person, let technology carry the posts that only watch, and fund the layers you were told you could not afford: cameras, monitoring, access control.

Flat

Guard spend, 2012 to 2021, at SAIA, across the enterprise, every location. That saving came from security integration: automation, technology and AI in place of physical guard posts. The posts that still needed a person got a sworn officer. Same budget logic here.

The hours

Get your day back

Scheduling, call-offs, timekeeping, payroll, invoicing and reporting move off your people.

The relationship

Who you deal with

Me, as your commercial contact, from the first test shift through invoicing and reporting. Your existing coordinator stays on, or one is assigned to your account. Fill and escalation run through the app and that coordinator, so coverage does not depend on one person being reachable.

The post

Who stands your post

Sworn off-duty officers, active law enforcement, in all 50 states. Availability on a post depends on its jurisdiction.

Coverage

Houston, and all 50 states

Office at 5611 Hoover Street, Houston, by appointment. Harris County and the surrounding metro, including Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress and Spring. All 50 states; availability on a post depends on its jurisdiction.

Common questions

What people ask first

What does an off-duty police officer cost per hour in Houston?

The officer is paid the local market rate, and every post is insured. Quoted against your sites. On the posts worth converting, the officer brings arrest authority the guard contract does not.

How fast can you fill a post?

Most posts are filled quickly; speed on a specific post depends on the location, the hours and the notice.

Who is liable if something happens on the post?

Every post carries comprehensive liability insurance coverage, and officers are active, sworn law enforcement.

Can I try one shift before committing?

Yes. One post, one location. No long-term contract. Simple terms.

Do you cover posts outside Texas?

Yes. Sworn off-duty officers in all 50 states; availability outside Texas depends on the jurisdiction.
