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.
According to Niche, New York City has a higher rate of these two crimes than the national average, but our city is also no stranger to other crimes like murder and burglary. So, for your protection, consider armed security in NYC.
At Building Security Services of New York, we have 40 years of experience growing into one of the top respected security companies in NYC. With constant training, 24/7 reliability, and speedy responses, we’ll fulfill all your needs with an armed or unarmed security guard.

Whether you want to ensure someone is there when you or your employees work overtime or if customers return during off hours, trust our security guards. Mobile patrol services also deter criminals from break-ins, protecting your assets and business.
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.
