Private Armed Security for Personal Protection in New York City

The world is a dangerous place, and it’s even more dangerous for business executives, celebrities, and other VIPs. Irrational actors pose a very real risk, and it’s rarely easy to predict when or where they will strike or what they will do. Sometimes, bad actors issue threats. Other times, the danger comes without warning, and can result in assault, robbery, kidnap, or worse.

Personal Protection Services for Executives and VIPs

Executives and VIPs of all stripes need to protect themselves against both known and unidentified threats. The best way to secure that protection is by using competent private armed security. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) can provide the executive protection you need to safeguard your wellbeing.

Why You Might Need Private Security Protection

Most people would prefer to avoid the need for armed bodyguards – and that would be possible in a perfect world. Unfortunately, this world is anything but perfect, and there are a whole host of reasons why you might need to protect yourself with armed personal security:

  • Business executives for large companies are prime targets for kidnap, assault, robbery, blackmail, and other crimes. Worse, these threats can come from fired or dissatisfied employees, angry consumers, or groups ideologically opposed to the business or industry.
  • Celebrities have long been targets for kidnap, assault, and even murder. Hollywood stars, major television personalities, and popular musicians all benefit from the use of armed bodyguards.
  • VIPs of every type can find themselves at risk. Whether it’s a political figure who’s received death threats or the family of well-known personalities, public figures need the protection that only trained bodyguards can provide.

Interested in Security Services?

When you need executive protection services, you should only rely on the best. For residents and VIPs of New York City, that can mean only one thing: you need the reliable protection that only International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) can provide.

How Professional Armed Bodyguards Keep You Safe

Many people might assume that armed bodyguards simply specialize in reacting to potential threats in a rapid and efficient way. The reality is that a trained personal security guard has skills that go well beyond that rapid response to danger. At ISS, our private security guards are trained to:

  • Secure locations and identify vulnerabilities in areas you frequent
  • Assess any environment and potential risks before they become immediate threats
  • Quickly identify warning signs
  • Develop plans to secure your person if danger manifests, including mapping escape routes when necessary
  • Respond to threats with the appropriate level of force
  • Advise you on risk mitigation strategies to reduce the potential for danger

In addition, private security personnel are trained to maintain your confidentiality, and never divulge your private conversations or other secrets. They also help to stop threats before they manifest, since their very presence often deters bad actors from threatening behavior.

We are the managing agents for two properties serviced by International Security Services, Inc. They currently handle the duties of security and fire safety directors for a Class E Commercial Advisory Building and provide armed security service for a 437-family cooperative residence in Northwestern Queens. George Kozhar and his organization are by far one of the most professional security companies that I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Their guards are attentive, friendly, always on post, on time, never sleep on the job, and perform the duties with a smile. I highly recommend you considering International Security Services, Inc. for your security needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Call International Security Services, Inc. today for additional details about any of these frequently asked questions and discover more about how ISS executive protection can provide you with the security you need.

What is executive protection?

Executive protection includes an array of security guard and close bodyguard services designed to protect clients, their families, and property. At International Security Services, Inc. (ISS), we provide a full range of protective services for our clients. These include executive protection for VIPs like business leaders, celebrities, political figures and other at-risk people. We also provide private armed security and other security guard services for individuals, companies, public locations, and other venues.

What makes ISS the best choice for executive protection services in New York City?

ISS is proud to be a leader in the executive protection industry, with an experienced and competent team of professionals who are committed to protecting lives and property from risks both known and unforeseen. Just as important, we have a proven track record of success in the security industry. Contact us today to learn more about why our clients trust only ISS for their critical security needs.

What makes ISS executive security personnel superior to other security guards and bodyguards?

Security personnel are only as good as their training. We ensure that all our licensed bodyguards and security guards have the training they need by instructing at ISS through our NY-approved security guard training courses. That enables us to stand behind our team with 100% confidence that they are the very best that the industry has to offer.

How much will ISS executive security cost me or my company?

That depends. Every client’s needs are different, and our services are designed to be customized to meet those specific needs. Effective security is not a one-size-fits-all business, after all. Our team will consult with you to determine your best options and security strategies. The cost of that protection would depend upon location, duration of protection, threat level, and other relevant details. Call us today for more details.

How are your protection services different than police protection?

Again, training is everything. While public law enforcement deserve recognition for what they do, most lack the specific training needed to provide effective executive protection.

How quickly can you provide the executive protection I need?

At ISS, we strive to provide a rapid turnaround time for ramping up any protection detail. We understand that threats rarely wait and make every effort to provide the protection you need when you need it most.

How long can you provide protection?

With ISS, you have a partner who will be there for as long as your security needs continue to require protection and you remain satisfied with the services we provide. Our commitment is to your safety and peace of mind, so we are there for as long as you need us.

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


  • Install cameras in common areas and along driveway to the back parking lot as those areas are public spaces that anyone can access and there is no surveillance coverage.

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.

  • Install a gate at the driveway leading to the back parking lot.

  • Make sure every tenant has a universal fire extinguisher and knows how to use it.

  • Develop a comprehensive evacuation plan and make sure that every tenant has received information regarding it. Condo Bylaw book is huge, tenants may easily overlook it.

  • Overall the building is not that big and has not had too many concerns regarding security breaches and/or home invasion throughout its 18-year existence. It is well kept and the fact that there is an active board monitoring and enforcing bylaws is a good sign. 



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.
