At National Protective Service, we protect New York businesses with professional, proactive commercial security. From Class-A towers and flagship retail to logistics hubs, studios, healthcare, campuses, and mixed-use properties, our officers deliver dependable on-site coverage and mobile patrols that deter crime, reduce loss, and keep operations running. 

New York operates 24/7—so do we. Our teams cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and nearby markets. Whether you need an armed deterrent, unarmed lobby ambassadors, randomized patrols, or rapid alarm response, we design a right-sized security program with clear KPIs and detailed reporting.

Our officers are fully licensed by the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), trained according to industry standards set by ASIS International, and work in close coordination with the Local Police Department to ensure rapid response and community safety. Whether you require threat deterrence, emergency response, or asset protection, our team delivers professional, discreet, and reliable security solutions tailored to your needs.

Why choose us?

NYS-Registered, DCJS-Trained Officers

All officers are registered with the New York State Department of State (DOS) and trained to DCJS standards (8/16-hour, annual in-service, and site-specific post training). They’re prepared for professional customer service, incident reporting, and de-escalation.

Armed or Unarmed Coverage for Any Risk

Deploy armed commercial security for elevated-risk sites or unarmed officers for concierge and lobby posts—aligned to your risk profile, brand, and building policies.

24/7 Staffing & Mobile Patrols

Round-the-clock fixed posts plus mobile patrol units for large footprints, garages, yards, and multi-site portfolios with randomized routes, lock-ups, and alarm response.

Customized Post Orders & Reporting

Site-specific post orders, real-time DAR/incident logs with photo/video, escalation trees, and monthly KPI summaries for transparency and accountability.

Technology Integrations

Optional CCTV monitoring, access control & visitor-management support, guard-tour verification, and alarm integrations to blend manpower with security tech.

Proven Across NYC

Trusted by retailers, landlords, logistics operators, HOAs, studios, schools, and healthcare networks across Midtown, FiDi, Brooklyn waterfront, LIC, the Bronx logistics corridor, and beyond.

Armed Commercial Security Services

Choose armed commercial security in New York when your risk demands greater deterrence and rapid intervention. 

Armed officers conduct perimeter/vehicle/foot patrols, dock & gate control, cash/asset escorts, alarm response, and after-hours monitoring—ideal for distribution centers, luxury retail, executive offices, sensitive facilities, and critical infrastructure. 

Our armed teams maintain current NYS/DOS registration and required training, follow strict firearms safety protocols, and coordinate with property management and law enforcement as needed. 

Post orders can include screening/bag checks, loading-dock control, access audits, incident command, and threat-response procedures—backed by court-ready documentation every shift.

Unarmed Commercial Security Services

Unarmed commercial security is the right choice for most NYC properties seeking a polished, service-forward presence. 

Officers staff front desks and reception, manage visitors and vendors, escort employees, and keep lobbies/elevators safe. 

On patrol, they monitor interiors and parking areas, deter loitering, and address safety hazards before they escalate. 

Training emphasizes verbal de-escalation, conflict prevention, customer care, and clear communications. 

Programs can include retail loss-prevention support, parking/garage patrols, tenant assistance, incident reporting, mobile patrols for campuses, and emergency coordination—delivered with professional appearance and reliable radio discipline.
