Frequently asked questions

What license do security guards in Buffalo 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. Investigative firms hold a separate private investigator license. Armed work requires a New York pistol permit plus armed-guard registration, which are difficult to obtain, so most contract security in Western New York is unarmed. Confirm the company's Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license and that its guards are state-registered before hiring.

What security does the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus drive?

The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and the region's hospital systems drive demand for around-the-clock officers trained in de-escalation for emergency departments, controlled-entry areas and behavioral-health units, plus visitor management and access control. Healthcare is one of the higher-risk settings for workplace violence, so a professional, patient-facing manner and workplace-violence protocols are the standard — look for a provider experienced in healthcare settings.
