International Security Services in the News

At International Security Services, Inc. (ISS), our commitment to providing superior investigative services and protecting people and property motivates us to do what we do. It’s why we focus on providing quality private investigations, effective security guard services, executive protection, and the best security guard training in NYC.

Count on Us in Your Mission to Inform the Public

Despite the low-key profile approach to security and investigative services and training, we recognize that the public can often benefit from press stories that address current security issues, data protection, corporate surveillance and counterintelligence, and private investigative services.

Our Commitment

Our commitment drives us to ensure that ISS continues to operate the top security guard school in the area, even as our ISS Fire Science Institute ensures top training for fire and life safety director candidates. The press has an important role to play in helping New Yorkers to protect themselves and their property, by highlighting relevant stories that inform and educate the city’s residents about vital security issues and training opportunities.

Of course, we never seek praise or attention from the media, and much of what we do to protect the public occurs outside the public eye – with private detective work and other investigations, discreet unarmed and armed security details, and quality training courses for both security guards and fire safety personnel.

Staff members at ISS are always available for members of the press who are interested in highlighting these important concerns. If you are a media reporter or journalist covering security concerns related to investigative services, personal security, property protection, security guard training, or training for fire and life safety directors in the city, please feel free to contact us at any time. Our staff will be happy to provide relevant commentary or answer questions about security-related themes.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
