Secur, a new private security app developed and maintained by a San Antonio-based company, began rolling out in August and is now launching in major metropolitan areas across Texas with nationwide expansion plans to follow.
According to a news release, Secur was created as a solution for both individuals and small businesses to obtain high-quality private security anytime, anywhere.
Company representatives said Secur offers affordable, professional protection in the form of an easy-to-use app. The Secur app allows members to book security officers either on-demand or scheduled in advance, whenever extra protection is necessary.
The release said Secur officers are highly experienced private protection officers and off-duty police officers who have been trained in private security to deter crime and ensure a protected environment.
All officers are highly vetted and have undergone rigorous FBI background checks. The duties of these officers frequently include the protection of dignitaries, politicians and celebrities, and now Secur members will have access to that same level of security, the release said.
Company representatives said Secur clients can book private security in two ways:
- Request private security quickly and discreetly from your phone. A professional, trained Secur Officer will come to your location as soon as possible, calling you en route to assess the situation.
- With the option of booking an officer in uniform or plainclothes, reserve a trained Secur officer in advance for all of your security needs.
The release said anyone can now request a Secur officer for assistance, whether at home, out late at night, roadside with a flat tire, or anywhere they feel vulnerable and need an extra measure of protection.
The company offers individual and family membership plans as well as plans for small-business owners who are often unable to afford the steep cost of inflexible, full-time security contracts.
