TAFIS mission
At Texas Association For Internal Security (TAFIS), we empower businesses to take control of their security by transitioning from contract security services to their very own internal security teams. Our dedicated team assists members in obtaining the necessary Class P license (Private Letter of Authority) or the Class G license (Government Letter of Authority) from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
We not only guide businesses through the complexities of building a security team but also provide ongoing training and management support to ensure they can maintain high safety standards while reducing costs. Partner with us today to redefine your security strategy!
