From hosting large special events to closing your shop late at night, you expose yourself, your guests, and your property to plenty of dangers, from robberies to assaults.

Other ways we provide armed security in NYC include the following:
According to NY State law, all potential security guards must complete the 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course, an introductory program at the end of which they receive a certificate they must submit with their security guard application.
Then, they have 90 days to finish 16 hours of on-the-job training. If they have a gun permit, they can also take the 47 Hour Firearms Training to become an armed guard.
After the initial training, our security guards go through annual training in the form of 8-hour Annual In-Service Training and 8-hour Annual Firearms Training to uphold their armed guard registration. They must also submit Peace Officer Waivers unless they’re peace officers or police officers.
All guards meet New York State requirements: the 8-Hour Pre-Assignment course and 16 hours of on-the-job training. Armed guards also complete the 47-Hour Firearms Training (with a valid pistol permit). Annual refreshers include the 8-Hour Annual In-Service and 8-Hour Annual Firearms Training, with Peace Officer Waivers submitted as applicable.
Across all five boroughs—Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, including business districts and neighborhoods such as Midtown, FiDi, Chelsea/Flatiron, Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO, Williamsburg, Long Island City, Jamaica, Flushing, Astoria, and the South Bronx.
