Frequently asked questions

What license do security guards in Rochester 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 the Finger Lakes region is unarmed. Confirm the company's Watch, Guard or Patrol Agency license and that its guards are state-registered before hiring.

What security does Rochester's optics and manufacturing sector drive?

Rochester's optics and imaging legacy — tied to Kodak, Xerox and Bausch & Lomb — and its advanced-manufacturing base drive demand for corporate and R&D campus coverage, integrated access control and badging, IP protection, and overnight yard and perimeter patrol at industrial sites. Buyers here operate in quality-focused, security-aware environments, so a provider comfortable in corporate campus and manufacturing settings is the right fit.
