Top Gun Security & Investigations

What Top Gun Security & Investigations does

Top Gun Bodyguard, Investigations & Security Consulting (DBA Top Gun Security & Investigations) is a Texas-licensed private security and investigations company founded in 2010 and headquartered in the Houston metropolitan area (League City, TX). It delivers contract security officer and private investigation services, holding Texas security guard company licenses (#C-04147301 and #F-04156101) that authorize it to deploy and certify Level II unarmed, Level III armed, and Level IV personal protection officers. The customer base spans commercial properties, construction sites, car dealerships, schools, hospitals, banks, storage facilities, HOAs, events, and high-value individuals requiring executive protection, with named accounts including Hilton, Central Bank, Moody Bank, La Quinta, Rudy's BBQ, Perry Homes, and Clear Creek.

The service portfolio combines uniformed guarding, mobile patrol (with GPS tracking on patrol vehicles), executive/bodyguard protection, and a private investigations practice covering surveillance, background screening, criminal and civil investigations, theft investigations, missing-persons, domestic/infidelity matters, and Texas certified process serving. A separate covert-surveillance equipment line retails hidden-camera devices disguised as everyday objects. Underlying technology is standard to the contract-security stack: surveillance cameras, GPS-tracked patrol units, and advanced communication tools; no proprietary software platform, AI/ML pipeline, or data asset is described in source material. The Training Academy operates in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio and delivers state-licensed Level 2, 3, and 4 certification courses, including an online Level 2 program — positioning the company as one of the first Texas security firms to offer the required online certification alongside in-person advanced courses.

Revenue is generated through seven streams: recurring guard and patrol contracts, executive protection engagements, mobile patrol, professional services for investigations and security assessments, training course fees (per-course unit pricing), and covert-equipment hardware sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; billing cadence is predominantly monthly for guard services and pay-as-you-go for training. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-buyer: customers reach the company via website quote forms, phone, or direct outreach, after which certified security consultants conduct on-site assessments and deliver tailored proposals. Distribution is in-house only — no third-party resellers or channel partners — and growth relies on earned-media positioning of executives (President Jeff Moore, CEO John Smith) on Texas TV outlets and local press.

Broad incumbents

• Allied Universal: Allied Universal is the largest security services firm in North America with deep Texas presence across manned guarding, patrol, and investigations. Comparable because it competes head-to-head for the same commercial and institutional security contracts Top Gun pursues, but operates at far greater scale with national procurement and multi-state licensing.
• Securitas USA: Securitas is a global security services major with significant Texas operations offering uniformed guarding, mobile patrol, and security consulting. Directly comparable on core guarding and patrol services, though as a publicly-listed incumbent it competes primarily on scale, technology integration, and national-account capability rather than boutique responsiveness.
• Prosegur Security USA: Prosegur is a global security provider offering manned guarding, electronic security, and cash-in-transit services across the US including Texas. Comparable as a competing full-service security firm, though it differentiates on cash-handling and integrated security technology rather than Top Gun's training-academy and investigation focus.
• Gardaworld Security Services: GardaWorld is a large North American physical security and cash services firm serving commercial, financial, and government clients. Comparable in that it competes for the same bank, retail, and corporate guarding contracts Top Gun serves in Texas, while offering broader geographic reach and international backing.

Direct peers

• Pinkerton (corporate investigations): Pinkerton is a longstanding investigations and security firm offering background checks, surveillance, fraud investigation, and corporate security consulting. Highly comparable on the investigative half of Top Gun's offering (criminal/civil investigations, background screening, missing persons) and competes for similar corporate and legal-sector clients.
• Gavin de Becker & Associates: Gavin de Becker & Associates is a premier executive protection and threat-assessment firm serving high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and corporate executives. Directly comparable on Top Gun's Level IV bodyguard and personal protection services, and competes for the same premium executive-protection engagements.
• Constellis: Constellis provides protective security, investigations, and training services with strong veteran and law-enforcement leadership. Directly comparable as a security services peer offering executive protection, investigations, and training; operates at larger scale with federal-government exposure.
• National Security Protection LLC: National Security Protection is a Texas-based security guard and patrol firm offering armed/unarmed officers and event security. Direct competitor within the same Houston/Texas market segment, mirroring Top Gun's vertical specialization and customer-base overlap (HOAs, commercial, events).
• Brink's Incorporated: Brink's provides secure logistics, cash management, and security services including guarding to financial, retail, and commercial clients. Comparable in adjacent security services to banks and large enterprises (overlap with Top Gun's Central Bank and Moody Bank accounts) though more differentiated toward armored logistics.
• US Security Associates: US Security Associates (now under Allied Universal but historically a distinct brand) provided uniformed security officers, patrol, and specialized security across the US including Texas. Comparable as a uniformed guarding competitor serving the same commercial, retail, and institutional verticals that Top Gun targets.
