Building Security Services of New York has been the trusted choice for school security throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island since 1982. As a family-owned company with deep roots in the New York metropolitan area, we understand the unique security challenges facing educational institutions across NYC’s diverse neighborhoods and districts.
Our experienced school security guards serve educational facilities throughout New York City, providing specialized protection tailored to each institution’s specific needs. Whether you’re managing an elementary school in Park Slope, Brooklyn, a high school in Forest Hills, Queens, or a private academy on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, our certified security professionals deliver the peace of mind that students, staff, and parents deserve.
Since 1982, we’ve protected New York City’s educational institutions, building an unmatched reputation for reliability and professionalism. Our family-owned approach means personal accountability at every level – when you call our 24/7 management line, you’re speaking directly with decision-makers who understand your school’s unique security needs.
As active members of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) in both New York and New Jersey chapters, we stay current with the latest security standards and best practices affecting educational facilities. This membership demonstrates our commitment to professional excellence and industry leadership.
Our school security guards receive comprehensive training specific to educational settings, including:
Our professional security guards provide a visible deterrent while maintaining a welcoming environment for students, staff, and visitors. Each officer is carefully screened, licensed, and trained to handle the unique challenges of school security in New York City’s diverse educational landscape.
We implement and monitor sophisticated access control systems that ensure only authorized individuals enter school premises. Our guards are trained on the latest visitor management technologies while maintaining the personal touch that makes schools feel welcoming to legitimate visitors.
Our 1-hour emergency response guarantee means that when your school faces a security challenge, help arrives quickly. We coordinate seamlessly with the NYPD School Safety Division and local precincts throughout all five boroughs to ensure comprehensive protection.
Beyond static guard positions, we provide mobile patrol services that monitor school perimeters, parking areas, and outdoor facilities. This is particularly valuable for schools with large campuses in areas like Staten Island or the outer boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn.
Understanding that today’s educational institutions rely on integrated technology solutions, our security services seamlessly work with existing systems including:
Our guards are trained to operate these technologies while maintaining focus on human interaction and situational awareness that technology alone cannot provide.
Many NYC schools operate across multiple buildings or share facilities with other organizations. Our security teams understand these complex arrangements and coordinate protection across all locations, ensuring seamless coverage whether your school operates in a single building in Midtown Manhattan or across multiple sites in outer borough neighborhoods.
Schools located near major transportation hubs like Penn Station, Grand Central, or the various subway stations throughout Brooklyn and Queens face unique foot traffic challenges. Our guards are experienced in managing the security implications of high-traffic locations while maintaining the controlled environment schools require.
From the bustling streets of Times Square to the residential neighborhoods of Bayside, Queens, each NYC area presents distinct security considerations. Our local expertise ensures that security protocols are appropriately tailored to each school’s specific neighborhood dynamics.
Unlike national security chains that route your calls through distant call centers, Building Security Services provides direct access to local management around the clock. School administrators in Brooklyn can reach the same management team at 3 AM that they spoke with during normal business hours – ensuring consistency and accountability that busy educational leaders demand.
We don’t just provide guards; we become partners in your school’s safety mission. Our account management team works closely with principals, facilities managers, and school safety coordinators to continuously refine and improve security protocols based on evolving needs and emerging best practices.
Ready to enhance your school’s security with New York’s most trusted security partner? Our security consultants are available to conduct comprehensive assessments of your educational facility, whether you’re located in the heart of Manhattan or in the residential neighborhoods of Staten Island.
