Laredo handles more US-Mexico trade by value than any other land port of entry in the United States — making it the linchpin of North American cross-border commerce. Trucking companies, customs brokers, international freight forwarders, and logistics warehouses form the backbone of the local economy and generate consistent security requirements: yard access control at truck terminals, perimeter patrol for warehousing and transloading operations, and documented overnight coverage for facilities holding in-transit cargo.
Laredo's retail sector — anchored by the Mall del Norte and major commercial corridors along San Bernardo Avenue — serves a cross-border shopping population from both sides of the Rio Grande, creating elevated foot traffic and loss prevention requirements. Industrial parks throughout Laredo's outer districts add standard after-hours security needs. A DPS licensed operation with logistics, retail, and commercial staffing capability covers the full range of Laredo's security requirements.
