The COVID outbreak brought new challenges to security needs of Dallas County as COVID testing sites and later COVID inoculation sites needed to staffed in a short period of time. We were able to fill the additional 3000 hours of weekly posts and sustain those levels during the pandemic. Additionally, staffing was increased at our regular locations to assist in enforcing the masking rule and spacing rules.
In addition to COVID, 2020 was a highly contested and debated election year. USAPD was asked to perform guard services at voting sites.
Good morning, I would like to recognize 1st Watch for the outstanding work and initiative shown over the past several days at Garage D. In response to the recent calls for service, deputies and GLOAs took the initiative to conduct extra patrols and spent several hours at Garage D to maintain a visible presence and deter criminal activity. Even with the additional time spent at Garage D, regular patrol responsibilities were still completed. The extra patrols produced positive results. During these efforts, one felony arrest was made, two citations were issued, and drug paraphernalia was seized. In addition, there were no damaged gate arms throughout the weekend. I would also like to recognize the overnight security officer from USA PD. I personally observed the security officer actively patrolling Garage D throughout the weekend. The Security officer’s consistent presence and patrols supported the efforts of deputies and GLOAs and helped maintain a safe environment. Finally, I would like to recognize trainees Ortega, Resendez, and Longoria for the initiative shown throughout these patrols. Each trainee participated in self initiated activity, made contacts with vehicles and patrons, and stayed engaged throughout the operation. Taking a proactive approach instead of waiting for calls for service made a positive impact on the operation and reflects well on each trainee. The work and professionalism shown by Ortega, Resendez, and Longoria contributed to the success of these efforts. Thank you to everyone involved for the hard work.
Ed, Israel, and USAPD, I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the Court Security Section, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service your people continue to provide. Your professionalism, vigilance, and commitment to safety have made a meaningful difference in our daily operations. Your security personnel consistently demonstrate reliability, strong communication, and a proactive approach that gives us great confidence and peace of mind. It is clear that your team takes pride in their work, and that dedication does not go unnoticed. We truly value our partnership and look forward to continuing our work together. Thank you for your continued excellence and support.

Every Dallas County location is geofenced.
Our security officers can only clock in and out if they are within the geofence.
The management team is alerted if an officer steps outside of the fenced area.
The clocked time is picked up by our payroll and billing programs.
