Services
On-Site Security Officers
Our licensed security officers provide professional on-site protection for commercial properties. They serve as the first point of contact for employees and visitors while monitoring building systems, conducting inspections, and responding to emergencies. Each officer receives client-specific training and maintains Texas Commission for Private Security licensing to ensure compliance and effectiveness.
Mobile Patrol Services
Economical mobile patrol services offer property security through scheduled vehicle visits. Our patrols include door and gate checks, perimeter inspections, and hazard reporting while providing visual verification of property security. This service supports property management needs for system monitoring and emergency response without requiring permanent on-site personnel.
24/7 Management
Our responsive management team provides round-the-clock security oversight through dedicated Field Service Managers. This ensures immediate assistance for client emergencies, operational challenges, and service continuity requirements. The 24/7 approach combines direct communication channels with proactive problem-solving to maintain uninterrupted security operations for all client properties.
Electronic Reporting
Real-time electronic reporting delivers customized security insights directly from officers to clients. Our system tracks patrol checkpoints, generates monthly analytics, and identifies recurring issues for proactive resolution. This technology-driven approach enhances service consistency while providing measurable data to support security program evaluations and decision-making processes.
Security Program Development
We create tailored security programs through comprehensive discovery and planning phases. Our process includes property assessment, challenge identification, and development of written security plans that address specific client requirements. The implementation phase ensures seamless transitions while maintaining service continuity throughout the program establishment process.

I have worked at Priebe Security Services as the HR office manager for nearly five month's now and, I have to say that as a "senior" employee with an extensive work history, this company is hands down the BEST one I've ever worked for. Our owner is BEYOND generous and our entire team is such a pleasure to work with!

I enjoyed my some of coworkers who actually did work but the office staff are of no use and just dont reply to emails and voice mails. Answering the phone when you call is a 1/100 shot. We get emails about potential Covid but dont give any direction other than the standard CDC directives. HR must have so much stress working from home and having holidays and weekends off that they cant possibly respond to questions from their valued employees, according to their mission statement. The account manager only comes around when something is wrong and gives false hollow lies about moving up and

I absolutely love working with Priebe. I work in the downtown Austin area. The people I work with have become like a family & they know the meaning of pulling together as a team. The building managers and tenants are great and I thoroughly enjoy going to work each and everyday for all of the reasons listed here.

There are many reasons why you should "NOT" work here Ever !! and even more reasons why you should not become a customer and allow this company to protect your assets. I have text messages, emails and witnesses to be able to attest to that. Whatever you do do not seek employment here !!!. And definitely definitely never seek to hire them for their services. I have proof from other officers statements and also messages in statements sent to me from the clients themselves as well as emails txts and recorded phone calls. They are a shady business and should not be trusted nor should you ever work

The company has a lot of potential, but they also have a lot of leadership problems, They need to understand theres two sides to every story and not to over react. They will side with their client without regards to their employees. Dont get me wrong theyre better then most in Austin but they have a long way to go in the leadership department.
