Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed, veteran-staffed defense facility security across New York — the five boroughs, Long Island, and New York State — for government contractors, defense vendors, and sensitive facilities that require thorough vetting, strict access control, and audit-ready documentation. Founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience, our veteran-owned team deploys armed and unarmed officers, registered under New York’s Security Guard Act (General Business Law Article 7-A), who are trained on controlled-access procedures and coordinate directly with your Facility Security Officer. Coverage runs from fixed posts to roving patrols, business-hours to 24/7, with support behind every post.
Security for New York Defense & Government-Contractor Facilities
Defense facility security protects government contractors, defense vendors, and sensitive sites that operate under federal compliance and strict access control. It calls for thorough vetting, controlled-area discipline, audit-ready documentation, and coordination with your Facility Security Officer — not a standard commercial post. Dahlcore, a veteran-owned New York company, builds programs around those demands.
What We Cover, by Facility Type
- Government contractors & defense vendors — controlled-access enforcement, visitor verification, and audit-ready documentation at secure office and operations sites
- R&D & sensitive facilities — restricted-area access control, escort of uncleared visitors, and controlled-area discipline
- Logistics & operations centers — perimeter and access control, patrols, and after-hours coverage for defense-adjacent sites
- Coverage modes — armed or unarmed, fixed posts or roving patrols, business-hours to 24/7, with Virtual Guard where it improves visibility
The post is the perimeter
At a controlled-access facility, everything depends on the officer at the access point — verifying credentials, logging and escorting visitors, and enforcing controlled-area rules without exception. Dahlcore officers are trained for that discipline, and every access event is documented for your inspections and audits.
Why Defense Contractors Hire Dahlcore
Licensed, veteran-staffed, and defense-aware — Dahlcore protects New York government-contractor and defense-adjacent facilities with the discipline and documentation they require.
Licensed & Vetted
Every officer is registered under New York’s Security Guard Act (General Business Law Article 7-A) with the NY Department of State’s Division of Licensing Services (NYSDOLS), trained through DCJS-approved programs, and completes enhanced background screening for defense assignments. Dahlcore is licensed, insured, and bonded, carrying general-liability ($1M / $2M) and workers’-compensation coverage; documentation is available on request.
Veteran-Owned & Veteran-Staffed
Dahlcore is veteran-owned and operated — founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg — and actively hires veterans and reservists who already understand operational security, chain-of-command reporting, and post discipline. Officers are held to law-enforcement and military standards.
Defense-Aware & FSO-Coordinated
Officers are trained on controlled-access, visitor-verification, and escalation procedures before their first post, and Dahlcore operations managers coordinate directly with your Facility Security Officer and contract representatives on post orders, reporting, and escalation.
Audit-Ready Documentation
Digital incident reports, access logs, exception reports, and GPS-verified patrol records are formatted to support your facility’s inspections and compliance reviews — with real-time reports so your security team sees activity without waiting for end-of-shift summaries.

Access Control & FSO Coordination
Operational context, not legal or compliance advice. Defense facilities operate under demanding federal requirements. Dahlcore’s programs are designed to support your physical-security obligations and coordinate with your Facility Security Officer — compliance and regulatory responsibility remains with the contractor.
- Program-aligned post orders — guard post orders and documentation can be aligned to support your facility’s physical-access-control and visitor-control requirements
- FSO coordination — operations managers coordinate with your Facility Security Officer and contract representatives on post orders, reporting cadences, and escalation procedures
- Security clearances — where a role requires a federal clearance (Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret), the clearance is sponsored and processed through your organization and the appropriate government channels; Dahlcore vets officers to high standards and coordinates the personnel process. Dahlcore does not sponsor or grant clearances.
- Audit-ready records — access logs, exception reports, and patrol records formatted to support your facility’s inspections and audits

Veterans who already know the environment
As a veteran-owned company, Dahlcore actively hires veterans and reservists for defense assignments. They bring direct experience with operational security, chain-of-command accountability, and mission-critical post discipline — which shortens onboarding and raises post reliability from day one.
What Shapes Your Defense Security Plan
Dahlcore scopes every facility to its sensitivity, compliance posture, and layout. These are the factors that shape the plan.
1. Facility Type & Sensitivity
Government contractor, defense vendor, R&D, or logistics site — and how sensitive the operation and its controlled areas are.
2. Coverage Hours & Posts
Access points, controlled areas, and perimeter drive how many posts and which shifts — fixed or roving, business-hours to 24/7.
3. Armed or Unarmed
Unarmed for many posts; armed guards (valid NYS pistol license, Penal Law §400) are available for higher-risk posts after assessment.
4. Compliance & Access Requirements
Your facility’s compliance obligations and access-control requirements, and whether any roles require client-sponsored clearances.
5. Systems & Documentation
How guards coordinate with your access-control and CCTV systems, and the audit-ready records your contract requires.

We support government contractors, defense vendors, R&D and sensitive facilities, and logistics centers. Request a no-cost assessment or call 212-208-0900.
Do your officers hold security clearances?
Where a role requires a federal clearance, the clearance is sponsored and processed through your organization and the appropriate government channels — Dahlcore does not sponsor or grant clearances. What Dahlcore does is vet officers to high standards, complete enhanced background screening, and coordinate the personnel process directly with your Facility Security Officer so officers are ready as your requirements are met.
What defense facilities does Dahlcore support?
Government contractors, defense vendors, research and development facilities, sensitive office locations, and logistics and operations centers across the five NYC boroughs, Long Island, and New York State. Each program is scoped to the site’s sensitivity, access-control requirements, and the compliance framework it operates under.
Are your guards licensed in New York State?
Yes. Every officer holds a valid New York State security guard registration under the Security Guard Act (General Business Law Article 7-A), issued through the NY Department of State’s Division of Licensing Services (NYSDOLS), and completes NYS-mandated training — an 8-hour pre-assignment course, 16 hours of on-the-job training, and 8 hours of annual in-service — through DCJS-approved programs, plus enhanced background screening for defense assignments.
How does Dahlcore work with our facility’s compliance requirements?
Compliance responsibility remains with the contractor; Dahlcore supports it at the physical-security level. Guard post orders and documentation can be aligned to support your facility’s physical-access-control and visitor-control requirements, and operations managers coordinate with your Facility Security Officer. Access logs, exception reports, and patrol records are formatted to support your facility’s inspections and audits.
Are your officers armed or unarmed for defense contracts?
Both. Dahlcore provides armed and unarmed officers depending on the site’s risk profile, contract requirements, and governing regulations. Armed officers are licensed under New York’s pistol-license law (Penal Law §400) and complete additional training in firearms safety, use-of-force policy (Penal Law Article 35), and scenario-based response before assignment.
Does Dahlcore hire veterans for defense assignments?
Yes. Dahlcore is veteran-owned and operated and actively hires veterans and reservists for defense accounts. Veterans bring direct experience with operational security, chain-of-command reporting, and post discipline, which shortens onboarding and strengthens post reliability. All officers are held to law-enforcement and military standards.
How quickly can Dahlcore deploy defense security?
For urgent needs, Dahlcore begins intake and scheduling quickly on contact, with deployment subject to site requirements, enhanced screening, NYS licensing verification, and any clearance or contract prerequisites. Standard programs are scoped after a no-cost assessment. Call 212-208-0900 to discuss your timeline; 24/7 support stands behind every post.
