Many security guard firms act as “consultants” and are not properly licensed or insured in New York State. Other firms claim to have hundreds on staff, but in reality they have very few if any, that are licensed and permitted to provide security services per New York State law. USING AN UNLICENSED SECURITY FIRM CREATES SUBSTANTIAL AND UNNECESSARY CIVIL LIABILITY AND EXPOSURE.
