International Investigators

What International Investigators does

International Security Services (DBA: International Investigators) is a privately held, veteran-owned security services firm founded in 1982 by Greg Peters and headquartered in Flower Mound, Texas, operating under Texas License # C03781. The company provides armed and unarmed security guard personnel, mobile patrol services, and vertical-specific security programs for HOAs and gated communities, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, warehouses and distribution centers, with additional specialized offerings in executive protection, event security, and investigative services. Coverage is 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, across approximately 13 North Texas cities including Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Denton, and Sherman-Denison.

The underlying technology stack is not proprietary; the firm integrates third-party tools (GPS patrol verification, NFC tour tags, CCTV monitoring, license plate recognition, body cameras, access control systems) to support accountability, reporting, and incident documentation on top of human guard execution. There is no software platform, mobile application, API, or hardware product disclosed, and no patents, trademarks, or certifications are listed. The firm has no public app, no SDK, and no machine-learning or AI capabilities described.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through quote-based, multi-year contracts priced on hourly guard rates and bundled patrol packages, with armed guards commanding premiums over unarmed guards. The company employs approximately 24 people and reaches customers exclusively through direct channels — field sales, inside sales (phone, email, web form), and SEO/content marketing via its website blog. There are no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace listings. Customers are mid-market and SMB buyers including HOA boards, corporate facility managers, manufacturing operations directors, and property management companies across North Texas.
