Security & Investigative Services

 

security guard services

A security guard is someone who patrols and inspects residential or commercial property against fire, theft, vandalism, terrorism, and illegal activity. They also monitor people and buildings in an effort to prevent crime. In a nutshell, they keep your property, your people, and your assets safe from threat.  Part of a Security guard job is to provide monitoring services for property owners ensuring a safe environment and prevent violence. A security guard plays many different roles, but his primary duty is to prevent crime. The presence of a security guard on the premises often serves as a deterrent to potential lawbreakers. Our security guards work in public and private buildings, as well as retail and wholesale buildings. We provide unarmed and armed security guards depending on the client’s needs, goals and budget.


Surveillance

We have investigators who specialize in video surveillance and activity checks. This includes disability cases, workers’ compensation claims, personal injury, criminal activities, domestic affairs/infidelity and corporate security. Our investigators are well equipped with surveillance vehicles and the latest video/hidden camera and communications technology to perform discreet investigations.


Background Investigations

A background check is an investigation into a person’s professional and personal history that validates or disproves their character and identity. A typical background check includes criminal records, education and employment history, civil records, references, and more depending on the situation and individual. We have access to a wide range of resources and techniques in conducting any type of background check.



security concierge

The first thing your guests/clients interact with when they enter your building should be a professional and courteous individual, willing to help in any way they can. This is exactly what you get with the MA1 security concierge service. Welcoming, customer-service oriented security officers can be hired through MA1 Security to monitor and provide directions to any guests as they arrive or depart, all while offering top-tier security backed by years of experience. 

While security is a top priority,  security concierge officers also act as a host for your apartment, condo, or hotel, providing relevant information, collecting deliveries or directing guests to their designated areas. On the security side, the concierge is the first line of defense against suspicious activities, paying close attention to details to ensure your guests are kept safe at all times.


Property Check patrol

We conduct exterior property grounds and building checks for assessments of potential problems, reported issues, storm damage, trespassing and vagrancy deterrence, or for verification of completion/progress for services contracted with third-parties. For the property owner’s peace of mind, we include full reporting, time stamped GPS position and digital images of the property for verification of patrol service. If you are a property owner, real estate broker/agent, property manager, who needs regularly scheduled residential contract patrols, home watch and key holding services or commercial property patrols please call 914-529-1262 or email: guardservices@MA1Security.net to discuss your needs, goals and budget.


General Investigative Services

A general investigation is a case that doesn’t fall into a specific category. Though there are many types of investigation, sometimes a case may require various types of investigation, like surveillance, medical investigation, or trial preparation. To avoid confusion, the investigation is classified as general. Our firm has a wide range of expertise and experience in handling most of your investigative needs. We have a network of investigators that are licensed in New York State and other states that are available to assist with various types of investigations to achieve desired results. Unlike many companies, we offer free consultations and advice to assist you in tailoring the investigation to meet your needs and budget. We will provide you with an honest assessment and, if necessary, refer you to the appropriate expert or public agency equipped to assist you.



security consulting

Our consulting clients present to us a variety of concerns, risks and issues. MA1 Security is experienced in situation and risk assessment. We help our clients identify root causes and effective solutions. The MA1 Security Team is a result of an experienced approach to security consulting, training and long-term support. We provide the means to address critical and diverse threats with specialized personnel and experience.

As a non-traditional service provider, we often become a trusted partner, extending our protection and expertise into closely held areas of trust. Family and estate protection are intimate processes; most clients have usually never invited a provider into their inner circle. What is even worse, they may have had a bad experience with a poor provider, or are currently experiencing this problem.  Local government support can be disappointing and costly when contractors and partners underperform. Let MA1 Security provide a solution.


Social Media & Internet investigations

A social media investigation looks into the social media posts, status updates, photos, and conversations of an individual. You might require a social media investigation for a court case, custody battle, or as part of a background investigation. This can be used as evidence in court cases to support alibis and provide supplementary evidence, for risk assessment, and for active monitoring. Social media investigations can be performed in conjunction with other assigned cases, or can be requested on their own. We will perform a comprehensive investigation of social media sites. This information allows us to learn more about the subject and their activities and interests.

Disclaimer: Due to privacy settings on some social media sites, it is not guaranteed that information can be obtained on subjects. Investigators will only perform legal and ethical monitoring of social media sites.


notary services(mobile, rin, ron)

On March 20, 2020, due to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions, New York Governor Cuomo issues a temporary executive order (202.7/2020) allowing notarizations to be performed using communication technology. Because of the recent events that have been unfolding with COVID-19, and the way in which businesses have turned to technology to enable their day-to-day interactions, regulations that had previously been put into place for face-to-face processes are going digital. Notaries are experiencing these changes right now. Federal and state regulations are being updated to ensure that online notary interactions are possible and so that the limitations of physical interaction do not impede further on business productivity. Please contact us regarding Notary services, including service fees.


 

NOTE: NYS Tax Law Section 1105 (c) (8) requires we collect sales tax on our services.  Some of the services we provide require a retainer.  Simply, a retainer is a portion of the fees paid in advance.  If a retainer is required, client will be informed in advance.
