Frequently asked questions

What is armored transport / cash-in-transit?

Armored transport, or cash-in-transit (CIT), is the secure movement of cash, coin, checks and other high-value items between a business, its bank and its ATMs by armed crews in hardened vehicles — the category of Brink's, Loomis, GardaWorld and many regional operators. Common services include scheduled deposit pickups, ATM servicing, change orders and vault transfers, all under a documented, insured chain of custody. In Brooklyn, the final cost also depends on local context — such as a fast-growing mixed commercial and residential base — so it pays to request a tailored proposal and compare several licensed providers.

Is armored transport a licensed service?

Yes. Some states regulate it specifically — Texas and New York, for example, license Armored Car Companies or carriers directly — while in others it's provided by firms operating under an armed-guard / Private Patrol Operator license with the appropriate firearm permits. Either way the crews are licensed, armed and insured. When hiring, confirm the correct state license and, critically, the cargo and liability insurance limit covered per trip. When hiring in Brooklyn, confirm the provider knows the local environment and challenges such as warehouse and industrial-site theft.

What license do security guards in Brooklyn need?

New York licenses security at the state level: 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. Because New York City's handgun licensing is strict, armed work requires an NYC carry license plus armed-guard registration and is uncommon, so most contract security is unarmed. Confirm the company's Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license and that its guards are state-registered before hiring.

What industrial and construction security demand exists in Brooklyn?

The Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Sunset Park industrial districts, and a relentless construction pipeline drive demand for warehouse and site guards, gate and dock access control, overnight yard patrol, and construction-site security — protecting equipment, materials and copper from theft that concentrates after hours across large sites. A provider with real industrial and construction-site experience is the right fit for these properties.

Security licensing requirements in New York

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 Brooklyn 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.

Guard credential: Security Guard Registration; an 8-hour pre-assignment course plus 16 hours of on-the-job training within 90 days, and 8 hours of annual training
Armed officers: Special Armed Guard registration; a 47-hour course plus an 8-hour annual in-service firearms course, on top of a valid New York pistol license · Minimum age 21
Insurance: $100,000 per occurrence / $300,000 aggregate liability, plus a $10,000 surety bond
Renewal: Licenses renew every two years — check the issue date, not just the status.

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.

What to check before hiring armored transport & cash-in-transit in Brooklyn

0 providers below list armored transport & cash-in-transit in Brooklyn. Ranking is based on verifiable signals, but the last checks are yours — and they are the ones that decide whether a contract holds up.

1Confirm the license covers this service. A license authorizes specific activities. Confirm the provider's covers armored transport & cash-in-transit specifically — not just "security" in general.
2Ask who actually staffs the post. Some firms subcontract or staff through a partner. Ask who employs the officers on your site, and who carries the workers' comp.
3Get the certificate of insurance from the carrier. Request it naming you as certificate holder. An uninsured incident on your property becomes your liability.
4Pin down coverage and no-show terms. Written post orders, shift times, and what happens when an officer doesn't arrive — including who pays for the gap.
5Compare bill rate against the local range. Use the Brooklyn range above. A quote well under market usually signals an underpaid post, which is where turnover and coverage gaps start.
6Check the contract's exit terms. Notice period, auto-renewal and any early-termination fee. Long lock-ins with no performance clause favor the provider, not you.
