Yonkers anchors the lower Hudson Valley and Westchester County just north of New York City. Corporate headquarters in Yonkers and White Plains, major healthcare systems, retail destinations like Ridge Hill and the Palisades Center, affluent residential neighborhoods, and Hudson-line commuter towns drive demand for corporate lobby and access-control posts, healthcare officers, retail loss prevention, and residential patrol. Contract security is overwhelmingly unarmed, with a service-quality-focused buyer profile across Westchester and neighboring Rockland County.
The providers below are ranked on merit, but the final check is yours. Work through these four steps before you sign anything in Yonkers:
Private security in New York is licensed at the state level by the New York Department of State, Division of Licensing Services. A legitimate company operating in Yonkers holds a Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license, which means it has cleared NY DOS's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In New York, operating without a license is misdemeanor (class b) (General Business Law § 70-a(3) (Article 7)). Engaging in, or advertising as, a watch, guard or patrol agency without a DOS license is a class B misdemeanor per violation (up to 90 days jail and/or a fine up to $500); a business that hires an unlicensed agency faces no separate criminal charge but loses the surety-bond/insurance protection and DOS complaint recourse that Article 7 licensing provides.
Yonkers scores 80/100 on our Crime Index (grade B), which makes it safer than 68% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 211,056.

Crime rates describe a city, not a specific address — the right level of coverage depends on your block, your hours and what you're protecting. Use the neighborhood breakdown to see how Yonkers varies internally before you scope a contract.
