San Antonio – Sterling Protective Services’ president, Tim Dyson, attended the ASIS International Security Force Management seminar June 10 and 11th. The seminar provided information and discussion on a number of important issues affecting the security profession in 2015.
Seminar topics covered a variety of current issues including risk management, technology’s impact on security functions and security officer training. Mr. Dyson and Sterling Protective are committed to the security education and training for all its security officers. Sterling Protective stays current in security best practices, which in turn translates to safer and more secure facilities for their clients in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio.
Mr. Dyson is a Quarter Century Club Member with ASIS International, which is the leading organization for security professionals in the world.
Sterling is a member of Associated Security Services and Investigators of the State of Texas (ASSIST) and their mission statement is the following:
ASSIST is committed to the enhancement of security services for Texas citizens. We are dedicated to promoting and safeguarding high-standards of services in the security industry through quality training programs for security officers, championing of appropriate legislative and continuous improvement initiatives, and promoting and sustaining constructive dialogue among security professionals in Texas.
On April 7, 2015 Sterling Protective Services, Inc. visited the Texas State Capitol for 2015 Legislative Walk the Halls Day, along with other members of ASSIST. Sterling met with State Representatives to discuss bills that are going to affect the security industry. It was a fun and productive day!
The uniform is a very important part of being a security officer. It sets an officer apart from the general populace as an individual in a position of authority. It certainly has aesthetic advantages, but the real benefit of the uniform goes way beyond just the outward appearance. In fact, the uniform is so important, that Texas state law outlines the following necessary requirements to be met visibly on the outermost layer of any Security Officer’s uniform:
- The presence of a badge including the word “Security”
- The Officer’s Name Plate
- The Company Patch
Not all companies, or officers comply with the above fully at all times, but it is a state requirement, and companies that allow non-compliance are in danger of punishment. Their non-compliance should also be a red flag to potential clients. (more…)

With the year well under way, it is time to take a close look at your business and evaluate your needs in order to prepare for the future. Right now is the best opportunity to think about business security. As incidents of crime are on the rise during these strained financial times, it is best to be prepared. Consider investing in the assistance of a first rate security company and the assurance that comes with onsite security.
Does my company need to hire a security guard?
Why Choose Onsite Security?
While many will opt for security cameras or occasional patrols, your business security will truly benefit when you invest in security officers who are onsite at all times. The main goal is to provide a powerful deterrent. When potential intruders or criminals see that your business is visibly protected by personnel on active duty, you are more likely to steer clear of trouble. However, if disaster strikes, rest assured that competent security staff will respond quickly to minimize any damages, reducing the impact of criminal acts. (more…)
