About Tulsa Security Task Force

Most security problems do not happen randomly. They happen when properties sit unattended, staff leave for the day, and activity slows enough for patterns to become visible. Tulsa Security Task Force was built around that reality.

We provide after-hours security patrol and professional security services for commercial, industrial, residential, and special-use properties that experience increased exposure overnight, on weekends, or during low-activity periods. Our focus is on visibility, timing, and adaptability — not fixed routines or generic coverage.

Security built around how risk actually happens after hours

Why we were formed

Many security companies rely on predictable patrol schedules and one-size-fits-all plans. Over time, that predictability can reduce effectiveness and increase risk.

Tulsa Security Task Force was formed to address those gaps by providing security coverage that:

  • Adapts to real property behavior

  • Adjusts timing to avoid patterns

  • Focuses on after-hours exposure

  • Documents activity accurately and consistently

 

Security works best when it cannot be anticipated.

How our approach is different

We do not assume every property behaves the same way. A warehouse, an apartment community, a retail center, and an office building all quiet down differently after hours. Each often has different security services needs.

Our approach emphasizes:

  • After-hours risk patterns, not daytime assumptions

  • Visible deterrence, rather than passive presence

  • Rotating patrol timing, instead of fixed schedules

  • Area- and property-specific adjustments, based on real conditions

 

This approach helps reduce opportunity for would-be criminals and vandals without overpromising outcomes.

Leadership and operational oversight

Tulsa Security Task Force is led by James Dodson, Founder and Director.

James holds an Associate degree in Law Enforcement and a Bachelor’s degree in Law Enforcement / Police Science. His background includes experience in military policing, civilian law enforcement environments, and high-accountability operational roles.

Earlier in his career, James served as a United States Army Military Police Officer, an experience that emphasized discipline, situational awareness, and structured response in high-responsibility environments. He also gained civilian experience in North Central Texas and worked within large-scale correctional operations, where attention to procedure, safety, and documentation was critical.

Beyond security and law-enforcement-adjacent environments, James also held senior operational leadership roles in the private sector, including serving as a Regional District Operations Manager for a national retail organization. In that role, he oversaw multi-state operations and thousands of employees, developing experience in accountability, logistics, and performance management.

This mix of security, operational, and leadership experience shapes how Tulsa Security Task Force approaches coverage today — with structure, restraint, and professionalism.

Who performs our patrols

Our patrol teams include off-duty police, bringing experience, situational awareness, and professional judgment to after-hours environments.

 

This does not imply law-enforcement authority or enforcement powers. It reflects experience, training, and accountability applied to private security patrol and observation during higher-risk hours.

Where we operate

We provide security services throughout Tulsa and surrounding communities, with coverage adjusted by city, district, and neighborhood behavior.

Rather than relying on generic service areas, patrol coverage is built around:

  • How quickly areas quiet down after hours

  • Property layout and access points

  • Overnight lighting and visibility

  • Activity patterns specific to each location

When mobile patrol makes sense

Mobile patrol is often the most cost-effective option for properties that do not require continuous on-site staffing.

It is commonly used for:

  • Overnight hours

  • Weekends and holidays

  • Vacant or low-activity properties

  • Commercial and industrial sites after closing

 

In many cases, patrol may help meet insurance-related security expectations without the cost of full-time guards.

A realistic view of what security can and cannot do

Security is not a guarantee.


No service can eliminate all risk.

What professional security can do is:

  • Increase visibility during unattended hours

  • Reduce opportunity through presence and movement

  • Document activity so patterns are identified early

  • Adapt coverage as conditions change

 

We are direct about limitations because trust is built through accuracy, not promises.

Why clients choose to work with us

Property owners and managers work with Tulsa Security Task Force because they want:

  • Clear communication

  • Consistent presence

  • Adaptable patrol coverage

  • Reliable documentation

  • A professional, low-friction security partner

 

We focus on doing the work correctly, quietly, and consistently.

Our role in the communities we serve

We operate with respect for the neighborhoods, businesses, and people surrounding the properties we protect. Patrol coverage is designed to be visible without being disruptive, professional without being intrusive, and effective without being excessive.

 

That balance matters — especially after hours.

Request security coverage

If your property sits quiet overnight and still carries exposure, professional patrol coverage may be the right fit.
