Professional Standards

Armed security personnel must meet applicable Texas licensing, training, and qualification requirements. Firearm possession and use are governed by applicable law, employer policy, training, and the specific circumstances of an incident.

Our security philosophy emphasizes de-escalation when appropriate, responsible judgment, communication, and the protection of life.

Armed security services are provided only for assignments and personnel authorized under applicable Texas requirements.

A Visible Presence That Makes a Difference

Our goal is to provide a dependable security presence that supports the property owner's policies and helps protect residents, employees, customers, and visitors.

 

3. Fire Watch Services

American Legal Serve LLC provides fire watch services for properties and facilities that require designated fire monitoring because of a fire protection system impairment, certain construction activities, hot work, or other applicable fire safety requirements.

Fire watch assignments are structured around the property's specific needs and applicable fire code, fire marshal, and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements.

Fire Watch Services May Include:

• Continuous or scheduled fire watch coverage as required by the applicable plan.

• Monitoring designated buildings, floors, rooms, and work areas.

• Observation for smoke, flames, unusual heat, and other signs of fire.

• Keeping designated exit routes and access areas under observation.

• Checking assigned areas for visible fire hazards.

• Communicating with site management regarding observed hazards.

• Documenting shift changes and assignment activities.

Fire Watch for Construction and Commercial Properties

Fire watch services may be requested by construction contractors, property managers, commercial building owners, industrial facilities, and other organizations.

Before an assignment begins, the required coverage, patrol frequency, documentation, emergency procedures, and notification responsibilities should be confirmed with the client and relevant fire safety authority.

Fire watch personnel supplement required fire safety measures; they do not replace required fire protection systems or other mandated safeguards.
