Who we are
A private security company built on referrals, not ads.
Knight Security is one of the most established private security companies serving New York City and the greater Tri-State area. For over three decades, businesses, productions, and property owners have turned to us when they need to hire armed security, licensed unarmed guards, or a fully coordinated protection detail they can rely on around the clock.
When film and TV crews shoot on location across the five boroughs, movies security becomes essential to keeping cast, crew, and equipment safe from crowds, weather delays, and unpredictable city streets. Knight Security has protected major productions, red carpet premieres, and press junkets, giving directors and producers one less thing to worry about on set.
High-profile clients rely on our executive protection services and personal security personnel to move through the city discreetly and safely, whether attending a gala, touring a facility, or traveling between meetings. Our agents are trained to anticipate risk before it becomes a problem, not react to it after the fact.
Who we are
Fewer excuses. More follow-through.
Search for security firms in new york or security firms nyc and you'll find plenty of names, but few private security firms invest the way we do in training, vetting, and supervision. We built our reputation as a private security company that treats every assignment, from a single overnight post to a citywide event, with the same level of seriousness.
Among the security agencies nyc event planners and production companies call first, Knight Security stands out for responsiveness and follow-through. When you need security for hire on short notice — a pop-up shoot, a last-minute VIP visit, or an unexpected staffing gap — our dispatch team can typically have qualified guards on-site the same day.
