Keep your tenants, employees, and assets safe with mobile patrol security designed specifically for New York City’s pace, density, and 24/7 operations.

Our highly visible, deterrence-focused patrols move continuously through your sites, arriving in marked vehicles, conducting targeted foot checks, and responding on demand, so trouble never has time to take root.

From Midtown Class A towers and SoHo retail to Brooklyn waterfront warehouses and Queens industrial yards, we provide the flexible coverage NYC properties need without the cost and stagnation of fixed posts.

Why mobile patrols work in New York City

NYC’s risk profile is unique: heavy foot traffic, late-night activity, loading zones that spill into public streets, and properties that span multiple entrances or blocks. A static guard can’t see it all.

Mobile patrols multiply your coverage across lobbies, loading docks, rooftops, garages, and perimeters, catching issues before they escalate. Our supervisors adjust routes to match the pulse of each neighborhood, lunchtime spikes in Midtown; evening crowds near arenas; overnight freight in the outer boroughs, so your patrol presence is always where it matters most.

Built for property managers, owners, and high-security environments

If you manage a Class A office tower in Midtown, a mixed-use in Williamsburg, a hospital campus in Queens, or a high-value warehouse near the Brooklyn waterfront, you need security that covers more ground with less friction. Our NYC mobile patrol program is designed to reduce your time spent on security while raising tenant satisfaction:

  • Operational fit: We adapt patrol frequency and routes by daypart (AM rush, lunchtime, evening events, overnight) so you get maximum presence precisely when risk peaks.
  • Single point of contact: You’ll have one accountable manager who knows your properties and answers calls 24/7.
  • Compliance-minded: Our teams follow your post orders, vendor rules, union and dock procedures, and coordinate with building engineering to minimize disruptions.
  • Scalable coverage: Scale patrol intervals up or down for move-ins, construction phases, seasonal retail spikes, or special events without rewriting your entire contract.

Local expertise you can feel

New York isn’t “another market”, it’s THE market. Our patrol supervisors map routes around MTA patterns, street closures, and bridge/tunnel peaks; we coordinate with neighborhood BIDs and respond decisively during weather, parade, or protest activity.

All officers assigned to NYC posts are New York State, licensed and trained on city-specific procedures, with optional site-specific certifications for loading dock safety and visitor management platforms.

Our leadership brings 40+ years of regional security experience, BOMA (NY & NJ) involvement, 24/7 management availability, and an emergency coverage guarantee that gets you help fast when you need it most.

Reporting and technology that save you time

You’ll receive real-time tour verification (GPS-tracked), NFC/QR checkpoint scans, and incident reports with photos and timestamps. Dashboards summarize weekly trends, false alarms, unsecured points, lighting failures, so you can prioritize repairs and budget intelligently. Prefer integration? We can connect with your existing access control, VMS, or incident management systems to keep everything in one place.

What you get:

  • Live activity feed and daily summary emails
  • Custom KPI dashboards (response times, patrol completions, incident categories)
  • Executive roll-ups for owners, detailed operational reports for property teams

Pricing and deployment

Every NYC property is different. We scope patrol frequency (e.g., hourly, every 2–3 hours, or randomized), foot vs. vehicle ratios, and after-hours emphasis based on your risk profile and budget.

Many clients start with evening and overnight patrols across multiple sites, then scale to days or weekends as needs evolve. We’ll provide a clear, itemized proposal, no hidden fees, and can launch quickly for urgent needs or special events.

FAQs: Mobile Patrol Security in NYC

Do you patrol all five boroughs of NYC? Yes. We deploy mobile patrols in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, tailoring routes by neighborhood risk, property type, and time of day.

What does a mobile patrol include? Marked vehicle patrols for high-visibility deterrence, targeted foot checks of critical areas, door/gate/lock verification, parking lot and garage sweeps, lighting and hazard checks, alarm/camera and escort response, and incident reporting with photos and timestamps.

How are patrol schedules set—fixed or randomized? We align to your risk profile with a mix of fixed-time visits for coverage guarantees and randomized intervals to reduce predictability. Dayparting is used for lunch, event, and overnight peaks.

What is your typical response time for on-demand calls? During active patrol hours, the nearest unit is dispatched immediately and management coordinates updates until resolution. Scheduled routes maintain dependable arrival windows; multi-site clients receive priority dispatching based on proximity and severity.

Are your officers licensed for New York? Yes. Officers assigned to NYC posts hold New York State security guard licenses and receive site-specific training aligned to your post orders and emergency procedures.

Can you integrate with our access control or camera systems? Yes. We can work within your existing access control, VMS, and incident management platforms; reports include scan verification and photo evidence. We also provide a standalone reporting suite if needed.

Do you provide lock/unlock and alarm response services? Yes. We perform open/close services with documented checks and respond to alarms and VMS alerts, coordinating with building contacts and NYPD/FDNY when requested by the client.

How is pricing structured for NYC mobile patrols? Pricing is scoped to patrol frequency (e.g., hourly, every 2–3 hours, or randomized), foot vs. vehicle mix, daypart emphasis, and portfolio size. We provide an itemized proposal with clear deliverables.

Can you cover multi-site portfolios across boroughs? Yes. We coordinate routes across multiple properties and boroughs with centralized reporting and a single point of contact available 24/7.
