★★★★★
"We hired this security company for a corporate evening event in Brooklyn, and they did a great job. With multiple entrances and a guest list to manage, we needed support with check-in, wristbands, and general crowd guidance. The team handled everything smoothly and professionally. The guards arrived on time, were friendly and courteous with our guests, and maintained a calm, helpful presence throughout the evening. They also did a great job directing anyone who wasn’t part of the event away from the space without issue. We’d definitely recommend them to others planning an event, and we’d be happy to work with them again."

"As a co-organizer of a big concert in Times Square, we were absolutely impressed with the quality of work, conducted by International Security Services, Inc. Highly professional, extremely well organized team of security guards with excellent communication skills demonstrated a seemingly effortless ability to supervise a quite challenging public location surrounded by a huge number of people in the heart of NYC. It was such a great pleasure working with all them. Many thanks to them that our full day fundraising event in Times Square with a good number of VIP guests, celebrities, supporters and complete strangers that were passing by was so smooth and successful. Amazing job!"

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.
