BILL NUMBER:S5298
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to the regulation of security services
Purpose
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: The executive law is amended by adding a new section 718 to require no private security guard company or service shall be employed to provide security services unless they have been approved to provide these services by the division of homeland security and emergency services. The division of homeland security will issue a permit to the private security guard company. The company will renew its permit every 2 years.
Justification
Private security guards could possibly be the first responders in a terrorist attack on the State of New York. This being said, there should be some regulation and guidelines set forth by the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services on how these employees are trained to respond in the event of a terrorist attack.
