New York City security is not one-size-fits-all.

A Midtown Manhattan office tower can have thousands of employees, visitors and deliveries moving through its lobby every day.

A Brooklyn construction project may be primarily concerned with equipment, materials, unauthorized access and overnight security.

A Queens warehouse may require truck access, employee entrances, loading-dock monitoring and perimeter patrol.

A residential building in the Bronx may prioritize lobby security, visitor management and resident safety.

A Staten Island commercial property may need overnight patrol or temporary coverage following an incident.

Fast Guard Service develops each security assignment around the actual property, operating environment and client requirements.

New York State-Licensed Security Guards

Security guards working in New York are subject to New York State registration and training requirements.

Fast Guard Service assigns personnel according to applicable licensing requirements and the requirements of each assignment.

New York State security guard duties can include functions such as:

• Surveillance and patrol
• Access control
• Identification checks
• Visitor logs
• Alarm and emergency response
• Incident documentation
• Assisting employees, visitors and customers
• Site-specific security responsibilities

New York State requires security guards to be registered with the Department of State and to complete applicable training requirements unless an exemption applies.

That license number should be prominently displayed. It’s stronger proof than saying “trusted,” “best” or “#1.”

NYC Construction Watchpersons & FDNY S-60 Requirements

This is a section your competitors may not explain well.

NYC has specific FDNY Certificate of Fitness requirements for certain construction-site fire-safety functions.

For example, FDNY states that an S-60 Watchperson at Construction Sites Certificate of Fitness is required for a watchperson at construction sites with footprints between 5,000 and 40,000 square feet, with the watchperson on duty when operations are not in progress.

Larger or more complex projects can involve additional FDNY fire-safety requirements.

Fast Guard Service can coordinate appropriately qualified personnel based upon the requirements of the particular assignment.

Do not say every Fast Guard construction guard has S-60 unless that is actually true.
