Frequently asked questions

What license do security guards in Manhattan need?

New York regulates security differently from California: individual security guards are registered and trained under the New York State Security Guard Act, while the company employing them must hold a Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license issued by the New York Department of State, Division of Licensing Services under General Business Law Article 7. Firms that also do investigations hold a separate private investigator license. Because New York City's handgun licensing is strict, armed work requires an NYC carry license plus armed-guard registration and is uncommon, so the overwhelming majority of contract security is unarmed. Always confirm the company's Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license and that its guards are state-registered before hiring.

What corporate and office security is in demand in Manhattan?

Manhattan's Midtown and Downtown corporate and financial towers concentrate the densest lobby-security market in the country: professional lobby and concierge posts, integrated access control and badging, visitor management, and after-hours coverage. This is tenant-facing work where officers must present well and be comfortable with controlled-entry protocols and audit trails, not just deterrence. A provider experienced with Class-A office buildings and high-expectation corporate clients is the right fit.
