What Op6 does

Op6 (legal entity: Op6 Inc.; DBA Op6 Security) is a Texas-based private security services company founded in 2022 by a former Houston-area police officer and military veteran. The firm provides armed and unarmed security officers, executive protection and bodyguard services, professional investigations, fire watch, and specialized coverage for construction sites, warehouses, retail, residential/multifamily, events, and healthcare facilities. Technology is layered on top of the labor offering: officers are GPS-tracked in real time, incident and patrol reports include GPS coordinates with photo/video verification, and the company markets its proprietary OpVision line of solar-powered, AI-enabled mobile camera surveillance trailers with HD cameras, night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio, plus a cloud video surveillance platform for remote facility monitoring.

The company's business model is sales-led and labor-driven, with quote-based pricing rather than published rate cards. Primary revenue streams are hourly/per-shift billing for manned guard services (including armed, unarmed, executive protection, and fire watch), recurring deployment fees for OpVision camera trailers and cloud surveillance (managed services), and project-based investigative engagements. Go-to-market is direct: phone-driven enterprise field sales, free site assessments, and website quote forms, supported by an extensive content-marketing blog. Op6 holds Texas DPS Private Security Bureau License #C26264901 (Level III armed / Level II unarmed) and positions itself on training intensity — officers receive up to 6x the state-required training — and on a veteran-owned, police-founder brand. Named customers include Memorial Hermann, Hertz, Leslie's, the Houston Rockets, and Sagemont Church. The company operates from offices in Houston, Katy, and Brownsville, with service coverage spanning Houston-area submarkets, Austin, McAllen, and the Rio Grande Valley. Op6 is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
