Who We Hire

Overton Security is a family-owned company that has protected clients in California and Texas for 27 years. We’re always looking for dependable people who want a real career in security.

We hire entry-level candidates who want to build a career in security. We also hire military veterans, retired law enforcement officers and candidates with POST certification.

Every officer must hold a valid security license for the state they work in, such as a BSIS guard card in California or a Texas DPS security officer license. When we staff sites in other states, officers meet that state’s licensing and training requirements.

  4. Train and get posted to a site that fits your skills.
