A bodyguard is a general term, while a Personal Protection Officer (PPO) is a licensed professional recognized by the Texas Department of Public Safety. PPOs receive advanced training in threat assessment, emergency planning, and are legally authorized to carry concealed handguns under Texas law.
Costs vary depending on threat level, event length, number of officers required, and whether you need armed or unarmed protection. Each service is customized to your security concerns, providing the right level of protection while fitting your overall budget requirements.
Under Texas law, licensed Personal Protection Officers can legally carry concealed handguns while protecting private individuals. All PPOs are fully certified through the Texas Department of Public Safety – Private Security Bureau and trained to provide safe, professional armed protection.
Personal Protection Officers are available for short-term assignments, including private gatherings, public appearances, or corporate functions. You can request one officer or a full security team, depending on the event’s size, potential risks, and your comfort level with visible or discreet protection.
