What Makes a Good Personal Protection Officer in NYC?

So You Need a Bodyguard in NYC?

I get it. Maybe someone’s been making threats. Maybe your business took off and now you’re getting unwanted attention. Or maybe you just want peace of mind walking around the city. Whatever brought you here, finding the right personal protection officer in New York isn’t as simple as hiring the biggest guy you can find.

What Actually Makes Someone Good at This Job?

They Notice Everything (Without Being Obvious About It) Good protection officers? They’re watching everyone and everything, but you’d never know it. They spot the guy who’s been tailing you for six blocks. They notice when someone’s acting weird at your event. And they do it all while looking like they’re just another person in the crowd.

They Know NYC Like the Back of Their Hand There’s a huge difference between someone who just got their security license and someone who’s been working protection in the five boroughs for years. The good ones know which subway exits to avoid, what neighborhoods get sketchy after dark, and how to get you out of Times Square fast if needed.

They Don’t Panic When Things Go Sideways Last month, one of our guys was with a client at a restaurant when some drunk idiot started getting aggressive. Did he make a scene? Nope. Got the client out through the kitchen, called it in, and nobody even noticed. That’s what you’re paying for – someone who thinks fast and stays calm.

Common Questions

“What’s this gonna cost me?” Depends what you need. Basic protection starts around $50-60 an hour. High-risk situations or armed protection costs more, sometimes $100-150+ per hour. We’ll give you a real quote after we talk about your situation.

“Are they armed?” Some of our guys are, some aren’t. Depends on what makes sense for your situation and what’s legal. We’ll figure that out together.

“How fast can you get someone here?” Emergency? 2-3 hours anywhere in Manhattan, maybe 4 hours for outer boroughs. Planned stuff? Give us a day or two to set things up right.
