Security Considerations in Paramus
Garden State Plaza hosts luxury and flagship tenants alongside department stores, so posts range from discreet client-facing coverage at high value boutiques to visible floor and entrance presence at large format stores. Highway access on Route 4, Route 17 and the Garden State Parkway gives shoppers and offenders alike quick exits, which makes entrance positioning, camera coordination and consistent incident documentation important at stores along both corridors.
Paramus retail closes on Sundays under Bergen County’s blue laws, which concentrates traffic into Saturdays and the November and December holiday season, when parking decks and mall entrances see their heaviest use. Many medical, financial and corporate offices along Route 17 need lobby coverage and visitor management on weekdays. Winter snow and ice affect parking lot patrols and officer travel times.

Common Questions
Can coverage continue on Sundays when Paramus stores are closed?
Yes. Stores that close on Sundays under the local blue laws can still schedule officers for building checks, deliveries, inventory counts, renovations or fire watch. Sunday hours are set out in the Post Orders like any other shift.
How is security guard coverage priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
