Security Considerations in The Bronx

Fordham Road and The Hub are long, open shopping streets lined with national chains, discount stores and independent shops. Stores on these corridors need officers who can watch a wide front entrance on a crowded sidewalk, support staff during peak hours and paydays, and coordinate with neighboring businesses. At Bay Plaza, the enclosed mall and surrounding big-box stores call for a different approach, with attention to parking areas and shared entrances.

Hunts Point runs largely overnight, with wholesale produce, meat and fish markets receiving and shipping product in the early morning hours. Food distribution sites here need gate control, truck and trailer logging, cold storage area checks and patrols across large lots. Officers have to be comfortable working night shifts in all weather and keeping detailed records that support food safety and inventory procedures.

Home games and concerts at Yankee Stadium change traffic, parking and pedestrian flow for blocks around the ballpark, including at Bronx Terminal Market. Retailers and property owners nearby benefit from added visible coverage before and after events. Across the borough, residential buildings also need reliable lobby and patrol officers who can manage visitor access, deliveries and resident concerns with patience and professionalism.

Screening, Training and Supervision

Officers complete a five-stage screening process and tier-based training before assignment, including de-escalation and, for retail posts, organized retail crime recognition. Supervisors make unannounced site visits, and the MGP Operations Desk answers 24/7/365. Incidents are documented on scene, time-stamped and GPS-verified.

New York Licensing

New York security guard companies are licensed by the New York Department of State. Officers must complete Division of Criminal Justice Services approved training, including the 8-hour pre-assignment course, the 16-hour on-the-job course and 8 hours of annual in-service training. McCray Global Protection holds New York license 11000119645.

Common Questions

Are armed officers available in The Bronx?

Armed posts are available where the jurisdiction permits. They are staffed by retired law enforcement officers who hold the required armed licensing, and are assigned after a review of the site’s risk, lease and insurance requirements. For luxury boutiques, MGP generally recommends unarmed officers focused on deterrence and client service.

How is security guard coverage priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. MGP provides a written rate schedule after reviewing your needs. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
