Read the executive protection buyer's guidePrivate 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 Rochester 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.
Rochester scores 50/100 on our Crime Index (grade D), which makes it safer than 16% of the 759 US cities we track. The index is built from FBI Crime Data Explorer reports for a population of 206,391.
