Security Considerations in Long Island
Long Island luxury retail is concentrated in a few destinations. The Americana Manhasset and Roosevelt Field carry high-value inventory and draw shoppers from across the metro area, so stores need officers who can spot organized theft and coordinate with center security.
Summer changes everything on the East End. Stores in the Hamptons see a large seasonal clientele, pop-up shops and private events, and need officers who can be added for the season and briefed properly.

Common Questions
Are armed officers available in Long Island?
Yes. Armed posts are staffed by retired law enforcement officers who hold the armed licensing New York requires, 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, armed or unarmed status, 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.
