About the Role

As a member of the Port Houston Police Department, you will serve as a vital guardian of our facilities, ensuring the safety and security of our properties, tenants, and visitors. This role is designed to maintain a secure environment through proactive patrols, rigorous inspections, and effective traffic management across our wharfs, warehouses, and administration facilities.

You will be responsible for physically checking buildings to ensure they are secured when empty and conducting frequent inspections of offices, security cages, and waterfront areas to detect fire hazards, pilferage, or vandalism.

Communication and coordination are central to this position. You will monitor radio and telephone equipment professionally, escort visitors and oversize vehicles to their destinations, and assist in the berthing of vessels. Additionally, you will investigate incidents and accidents, prepare timely reports, and enforce regulations including 33 CFR 105 and applicable Texas laws.
