Security Guard Software
for Albuquerque Companies
CGuardPro is security guard management software for Albuquerque guard companies working the city, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo and the South Valley: scheduling and relief coverage, GPS and selfie clock-in, QR or NFC guard tours, incident and daily activity reports and a client portal, in one web command center with guard, supervisor and client apps for iOS and Android. It costs $5 per user per month, with a 7-day free trial. New Mexico licenses guards in three levels with different training, so an Albuquerque roster has to show which officers are level one, two or three before anyone is assigned to an armed or specialized post.
What does guard work in Albuquerque look like?
Balloon Fiesta
Every October the International Balloon Fiesta fills Balloon Fiesta Park and the roads around it before dawn, with parking, gates and vendor areas that need a temporary roster of their own.
Labs, the base and contractors
Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Laboratories anchor a ring of defense and technology contractors whose offices and warehouses want access logs and documented rounds.
Studios and stages
Film and TV studios and sound stages in the metro protect sets and equipment, with crews arriving at all hours and visitor lists that change daily.
UNM and the hospital
The University of New Mexico and UNM Hospital, with the clinics around them, staff garages, emergency entrances and campus patrols.
Rio Rancho and the fab
Semiconductor manufacturing in Rio Rancho and the business parks around it run badge desks and contractor gates.
Desert posts
Construction sites, solar fields and lots on the mesa mean outdoor posts in heat and wind, where a lone officer needs a way to call for help.
What does New Mexico require of a guard company in Albuquerque?
Licensing is statewide, through the Regulation and Licensing Department under the Private Investigations Act and 16.48.2 NMAC. The company is a private patrol operator, whose license holder needs three years of experience, at least 4,000 hours as a guard, watchman or patrolman with one year supervising, within the five years before applying, plus a jurisprudence exam and a biometric background check.
Officers are licensed in levels. Level one completes an 8-hour curriculum within the 12 months before applying; level two completes 20 hours and holds a weapons training certificate; level three adds a 16-hour curriculum including firearms law and a psychological evaluation by a licensed psychologist. Security guards complete 2 hours of continuing education for each year of the renewal period, firearms requalification does not count toward it and hours do not carry over; renewals moved to three-year terms from January 1, 2024. We have not found a separate City of Albuquerque guard license; confirm with the city.
CGuardPro records each officer’s level, weapons certificate, CE and renewal date as dated credentials and warns ahead of them; it files nothing with RLD. See our New Mexico page and the New Mexico licensing guide.

Albuquerque Security Software Questions
What is the difference between level one, two and three guards in New Mexico?
Level one completes an 8-hour curriculum. Level two completes 20 hours and holds a weapons training certificate. Level three adds a 16-hour curriculum including firearms law and a psychological evaluation by a licensed psychologist.
How much continuing education does a New Mexico guard need?
Two hours for each year of the renewal period, and renewals now run on three-year terms. Firearms requalification does not count toward it, and extra hours do not carry over.
Does Albuquerque have its own security guard license?
We have not found a separate city license; the RLD license is the credential we verified. Confirm with the city, and with any public or federal client, which credentials it adds.
How do we staff the Balloon Fiesta without dropping regular posts?
Build the Fiesta shifts as their own roster for the event dates, check each officer’s level before assigning, and keep the weekly schedule intact. Pre-dawn call times show on each officer’s app.
Can a dispensary client see the reports from its store?
Yes. Each client sees only its own sites in the client portal: incidents with photos, patrols and daily activity reports.
