Security Considerations in White Plains

Federal and state government offices and courts in downtown White Plains bring steady weekday visitor traffic to nearby office and retail buildings. Lobby posts in this area work to fixed opening times, and Post Orders cover visitor sign-in, deliveries and how officers direct people who arrive at the wrong building. Two Metro-North stations, White Plains and North White Plains, and the Bee-Line bus system shape arrival peaks.

Downtown events change street access during the year. The Jazz and Food Festival has taken over Mamaroneck Avenue between Martine Avenue and Main Street, a Holiday Market and Festival has been held on Court Street, and White Plains Restaurant Month draws diners in January. Post Orders for nearby storefronts and garages note closure dates, which entrances remain open and how relief officers reach their posts.

The Westchester sits at Bloomingdale Road and Westchester Avenue beside Route 287, and The Exchange office park along Westchester Avenue is built around surface parking with few internal sidewalks. County planners have noted that Westchester Avenue and Bryant Avenue lack sidewalks, so patrols and supervisor checks between buildings run by vehicle. Post Orders for these sites set patrol routes, parking lot coverage and the timing of exterior checks for each campus.

Common Questions

How Does Security Differ Between Downtown White Plains and the Westchester Avenue Office Parks?

Downtown posts are mostly lobby, storefront and garage posts within walking distance of courts, transit and restaurants, so Post Orders focus on visitor flow and street events. Office campuses along Westchester Avenue, such as The Exchange, are built around large parking areas next to I-287 with few sidewalks, so officers rely on vehicle patrols and Post Orders built around parking areas and building entrances.

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.
