Reliable Unarmed Guard Security Services for Every Situation

The security of your business or property is paramount, and often, the best way to ensure a safe environment is through professional unarmed guard services. At International Security Services, Inc. (ISS), we specialize in providing skilled unarmed security personnel across New York City. Our guards are carefully selected, well-trained, and equipped to meet the demands of a range of industries—from residential buildings and corporate offices to retail stores and event spaces.

The Challenges of Managing Security in NYC

Visible Presence Without Escalation

Many clients need a visible security presence to deter unwanted behavior, without necessarily using armed personnel. Our unarmed guards provide that balance, making people feel secure while reducing the chance of confrontations escalating unnecessarily.

Managing High Traffic Areas

Commercial properties, retail spaces, and event venues can attract high traffic. Without the right security solutions, businesses face risks like theft, crowd control problems, and even vandalism. An experienced unarmed security guard from ISS offers essential oversight, ensuring safety at all times.

Compliance and Professional Standards

Maintaining compliance with city regulations, managing the safety of tenants, and offering a welcoming environment to visitors is challenging. ISS’s unarmed guards are trained not just in security protocols, but also in customer service, helping businesses maintain high standards without compromising safety.

Industries We Serve with Unarmed Guard Security

Residential Buildings and Gated Communities

Residents need to feel safe at home. Our unarmed guards maintain a secure environment, managing access control, visitor logs, and general patrols to keep the property safe from unauthorized access and disturbances. Our guards know the importance of delivering a friendly and professional demeanor while ensuring security.

Commercial Offices and Corporate Facilities

In busy office buildings, managing visitor flow, overseeing access points, and providing support in emergencies are critical duties. ISS’s unarmed guards are trained to ensure that employees, guests, and tenants feel welcomed and safe without any disruptions to daily business activities.

Retail Stores and Warehouses

Preventing theft and maintaining order are key concerns for retailers and warehouse managers. Our unarmed guard services provide a visual deterrent to shoplifters and help maintain control during busy periods, reducing shrinkage and enhancing the safety of your goods.

Private and Charter Schools

Safety is crucial in educational environments. Our unarmed guards support charter schools by monitoring entry points, managing visitor access, and conducting routine patrols. Trained to respond calmly to emergencies, they help create a secure, welcoming atmosphere for students, staff, and parents.

Construction Sites and Industrial Areas

Security threats like theft of materials and equipment, as well as unauthorized entry, are major concerns for construction sites. An unarmed guard helps prevent these incidents by managing entry points and keeping watch over high-value assets.

Event Security and Hospitality Venues

From private events to large public gatherings, ISS provides unarmed security that ensures guests are protected, entrances are secure, and any potential incidents are handled quickly and discreetly, creating a positive environment for all attendees.

Why Our Unarmed Guard Security Services Stand Out

Professional, Trained Guards

Our guards receive extensive training to meet and exceed the New York State requirements. Beyond mandatory state training, our unarmed guards are given specialized courses on de-escalation, emergency procedures, and communication skills, ensuring they can manage any situation with professionalism and poise.

Tailored Security Solutions

Each client’s needs are unique, and so are our security solutions. Whether it’s for a residential building, corporate headquarters, or a special event, our unarmed guard services are customized to provide the specific type of protection you need. We work closely with you to determine the best approach to keep your property and people safe.

Commitment to Transparency and Accountability

ISS leverages AI-powered Guard Management System for real-time tracking, digital checkpoints, and automated reporting. This ensures complete visibility of our guards’ activities, helping clients stay informed without hassle.

★★★★★
"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!."

"I cannot overstate how wonderful ISS and specifically Mike Kozhar were to work with in 2023. We hired ISS to oversee crowd control and staff security for our five large-scale (10,000-50,000 person events), urban fundraiser walks. Their staff was on time, attentive, proactive, responsive, respectful, professional and efficient. Mike's attentiveness to detail, ability to change plans on the fly and communication (even when out of the country!) made working with him and ISS the easiest part of my, and my staff's jobs. We have never worked with a security company as great as ISS. We thank ISS for their work and allowing us to make the impact we strive to make in our communities. We look forward to continuing to work together."

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.
