Security company in Manhattan.
Tristate Security Patrol is a security company that covers Manhattan as part of New York City. Private security in Manhattan is usually a stationed post: a lobby, a service entrance, a loading dock, a retail door, or a floor during an event. It is not the same product as a monthly patrol membership that checks a house from the street.
The published business address is 5314 16th Avenue, Suite 238, Brooklyn, NY 11204. There is no Manhattan office listed on this site. Call 347-991-0121, say Manhattan, and give the cross streets. New York City is the company’s main focus, and coverage also extends across New York State.
For most standard posts, uniformed officers are scheduled within 24–48 hours. Emergency coverage is coordinated through 24/7 dispatch.
What security guard companies in Manhattan get asked to staff.
Manhattan buildings stack uses that Brooklyn row houses do not. A residential co-op can have a lobby, a package room, a garage ramp, and a service entrance that opens onto a different street. An office building can have a turnstile, a freight elevator, and a loading dock that runs on a different clock than the main door. A store on an avenue can want a door officer only for the hours the shop is open.
Private security Manhattan searches often mix those jobs into one phrase. The quote has to split them. A lobby officer has post orders for visitors and deliveries. A dock officer watches freight and vendors. A patrol membership, if you want one, is a mobile check and is priced on the plans page. Armed or unarmed is a separate decision, and an armed officer needs New York armed-guard credentials.
Lobbies
Visitor control and a written log for residential and commercial buildings that want an officer at the desk.
Service entrances and docks
The door tradespeople and deliveries actually use, which is often not the lobby.
Avenue retail
A door post for open hours, not a promise to patrol the sidewalk.
After-hours lockup
A defined shift when the building is closed, with the keys and the alarm instructions the manager provides.
Fire watch
A separate FDNY assignment when a required system is out or hot work is underway.
Events in the building
A temporary door team for a gathering, quoted on its own, not rolled into a monthly lobby post.
Manhattan is one borough. The address still decides the post.
Downtown streets, Midtown avenues, and residential blocks farther uptown do not share a floor plan. This page does not publish a neighborhood route and does not claim an officer is already standing at a particular corner. If you are comparing security guard companies in Manhattan, send the building address, the hours, and which door the officer owns.
Travel from the Brooklyn base is city traffic. The scheduling line already on the site still applies: for most standard posts, uniformed officers are scheduled within 24–48 hours, and emergency coverage is coordinated through 24/7 dispatch. That is not a promise of a travel time from Borough Park to a Manhattan door.
Community Patrol, the shared residential membership, still activates a new area at 10 homes unless patrols are already operating there. A Manhattan apartment house that wants a person in the lobby is asking for building security, not for that membership.
Manhattan uses the same New York City fire code and the same state guard registration.
Manhattan is in New York City. An out-of-service sprinkler, standpipe, or fire alarm is an FDNY matter under Fire Code section 901.7.2.2. The first four hours, and only when the affected area is 50,000 square feet or less, may be a trained building person. After that, the patrol is by fire guards with the F-01 certificate, at least hourly, with one guard’s area not supposed to exceed 50,000 square feet. Torch work follows the F-60 certificate and the Chapter 26 watch during the work and for at least 30 minutes after it stops.
Security guards register with the New York Department of State. DCJS oversees training: 8 hours before assignment, 16 hours on the job within 90 days, and 8 hours of annual in-service. Armed posts add a New York pistol license, the 47-hour firearms course, special armed registration, and annual armed in-service.

Licensed officers, documented work.
Founded in 2021. The only street address published is in Brooklyn. Officers assigned in Manhattan are expected to hold New York registration for that work.
Licensed and insured is the sitewide standard. GPS-verified patrol records, when the service you bought includes them, show up in the client portal. A lobby post is documented against its post orders.
What is published, and what is quoted.
Manhattan building posts, armed posts, events, and fire watch are quoted. Residential Community Patrol from $159 a month and commercial patrol from $399 a month are mobile checks. They are the wrong product if you need a person at a Manhattan door for a shift.
