EnquireWhy armed protection in New York must be licensed.
In New York, security personnel are registered under the Security Guard Act of 1992 (Article 7-A of the General Business Law), administered by the Department of State’s Division of Licensing Services. Carrying a firearm on duty requires separate armed-guard registration together with a valid New York pistol licence and the prescribed firearms training. Protection is delivered strictly within this licensed framework.
Algoz coordinates armed protection in New York exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative licensed, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend to Miami and London.
What protection in New York costs.
Rates for the United States are confirmed on enquiry; as a market guide, professional close protection across our regions starts from around USD 450 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.
