Why Clients in New York Hire Professional Protectors

Professional Scenario — New York
A Wall Street fund manager required daily coverage from a Tribeca residence to a Midtown office during a high-profile litigation period. The protection architecture alternated between vehicle and subway protocols, with lobby coordination at both endpoints and a documented threat file maintained with NYPD throughout the engagement.
This is the operational model GetProtectors applies to every engagement. Book a consultation to discuss your specific requirements.
Licensed, Insured, and Compliant in New York

Frequently Asked Questions — New York
Do bodyguards in New York need DCJS registration?
Yes. All security guards and bodyguards operating for compensation in New York must be registered with the DCJS. The employing firm must hold a Security Guard Company license. Verify both before any engagement.
Can armed bodyguards operate in New York City?
Armed protection in NYC requires a Carry Business Permit administered through the NYPD License Division — among the most restrictive armed carry requirements in the US. All GetProtectors armed agents operating in NYC hold current authorization.
How does protection work in dense Manhattan environments?
Our NYC-trained agents use pedestrian-optimized formation protocols, mass transit coverage procedures, and vertical building security coordination — all distinct from suburban or vehicle-centric protection programs.
Do you cover The Hamptons and Long Island?
Yes. GetProtectors provides coverage across the greater New York metro area including The Hamptons, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Travel fees may apply for locations beyond Manhattan.
