ALPHA & OMEGA MOUNTED PATROL
EXPANDS JOBS FOR RIDERS IN ITS 25TH YEAR
As Alpha & Omega Mounted Patrol approaches its 25th anniversary in May 2015, it has announced plans to hire a score of new Troopers. Full-time and part-time Troopers are needed to perform mounted safety and courtesy patrol duties for The Woodlands Township, located thirty miles north of Houston, Texas. Part-time seasonal Troopers are also needed for the 2015 concert season, lasting from April to October.
“Growth in our mounted security client list has created openings in regions across North America,” said Frank Keller, founder and CEO of
Alpha & Omega Mounted Patrol and KES, its companion security consulting company. “At 25 years, we are the oldest and largest private mounted security company in North America and our services have become critical in the outdoor festival industry where visibility and adaptability are key. Plus, we have provided year-round security for The Woodlands for 20 years and that development is growing as well with added requests for our patrol units. Riders with a love of riding, a passion for public safety, and a way with people have a place at A&O.”
Horse owners possessing great people skills and residing in or around Houston are encouraged to apply for work at The Woodlands. Some 35 positions are available for riders. (Call Ann Reynolds, director of recruiting, at 817-312-0162.) Others in California, Texas, Southeast United States, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast United States, or British Columbia, Canada, are needed for part time festival work. In addition to impeccable horsemanship skills, Alpha & Omega requires Troopers to maintain a polished, friendly, and professional demeanor. Applicants should own their mount and have dependable access to a safe truck and trailer. Applicants must be at least twenty-one years of age and be able to pass a background check.
Horses may come from any background, breed or discipline, but must be tolerant of intense visual, auditory and tactile stimuli. Geldings and mares (no stallions) must be at least 15 hands, in good health, and shod to A&O standards.
All horse and rider candidates must pass a rigorous interview process before being selected for duty. More information, including a full job description and application, can be found on the Employment page of Alpha & Omega’s website.
