Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed warehouse security guards across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island and New York State, protecting distribution centers, fulfillment centers, logistics hubs, and freight yards from theft, unauthorized access, and operational disruption. Founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience, our veteran-owned team operates in compliance with New York’s Security Guard Act (General Business Law Article 7-A) and provides general-liability and workers’-compensation documentation to clients during vendor onboarding. We address a warehouse’s real pressure points — loading docks, trailer yards, vendor traffic, and after-hours perimeter — with site-specific post orders and documented patrols, without slowing down daily logistics.
Security for New York Warehouses & Distribution
Warehouse security protects a facility’s inventory, docks, yards, and workers — where high employee turnover, constant vendor traffic, multiple entry points, and after-hours loading docks turn access-control gaps directly into inventory loss. Dahlcore builds each program around a documented on-site assessment, then writes site-specific post orders — no two warehouses receive the same plan.
What We Cover, by Facility Type
- Distribution & fulfillment centers — dock-door access control, high-volume inbound/outbound oversight, and package-diversion deterrence
- Logistics, freight & intermodal yards — trailer-yard patrols, gate control, and truck-appointment verification
- Cold-storage & multi-tenant industrial — zone monitoring, restricted-area access, and per-tenant post orders
- Coverage modes — 8-hour, 12-hour, or 24/7 shifts, day, swing, or overnight, uniformed or plainclothes, armed or unarmed
The loading dock is the highest-risk window
Most warehouse loss happens at the dock — during shift changes, peak delivery windows, and inbound/outbound handling. A trained officer overseeing dock activity, verifying credentials, and documenting every shipment turns your busiest, most exposed hours into a controlled, accountable process.
Why Warehouse Operators Hire Dahlcore
Licensed, industrial-trained, and independently run — Dahlcore protects New York warehouses with direct access to management, not a call center.
Licensed & Insured
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), background-checked and trained through DCJS-approved programs. General-liability and workers’-compensation documentation is provided during vendor onboarding.
Veteran-Owned, Led by the Owner
Dahlcore is veteran-owned and operated — founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience — and the owner personally manages guards in the office and in the field. Clients reach security management directly for scheduling, incidents, and post-order updates.
Industrial-Specific Training
Officers are trained for the warehouse floor — de-escalation at docks and gates, credential verification, incident documentation usable for insurance claims and audits, and safety awareness for industrial environments — not generic guard training.
Works With Your Systems
Dahlcore guards coordinate with your existing video surveillance, license-plate-recognition (LPR), and access-control systems — operating alongside them, not replacing them — with GPS-verified patrol tours and time-stamped digital activity logs.

How Dahlcore Secures Your Warehouse
A structured path from first call to on-post coverage — built around your facility.
Site Assessment
We review your layout, entry points, shift schedules, inventory storage, and existing camera and access-control systems.
Custom Post Orders
Written guard instructions — access rules, patrol routes, escalation, and reporting — specific to your facility, not a template.
Guard Deployment
Trained officers are briefed and posted — uniformed or plainclothes, armed or unarmed — for docks, gates, yard, and interior zones.
Access, Patrols & Reporting
Dock and gate control, GPS-verified patrols, daily activity reports, and incident documentation with photos and timestamps.
Review & Scale
Supervisors review coverage, and staffing scales up for peak seasons, special projects, or elevated-risk periods without a new contract.
Documentation that holds up under audit
Every shift produces a daily activity report, and every incident is logged with photos, timestamps, and narrative detail — a usable record for internal investigations, insurance claims, and compliance audits. GPS-verified patrol tours prove the coverage actually happened.
What Shapes Your Warehouse Security Plan
Dahlcore scopes every facility to its inventory, layout, and traffic. These are the factors that shape the plan.
1. Facility Type & Inventory
Distribution, fulfillment, cold-storage, or industrial — and how high-value or regulated the inventory is.
2. Coverage Hours & Posts
Docks, gates, yard, and interior zones drive how many posts and which shifts — 8-hour, 12-hour, or 24/7, day, swing, or overnight.
3. Armed or Unarmed
Unarmed suits most warehouses; armed guards (valid NYS pistol license, Penal Law §400) are available for high-value or elevated-risk facilities after assessment.
4. Access & Traffic Volume
Dock-door volume, vendor and contractor traffic, and shift-change windows drive procedures and staffing.
5. Systems & Reporting
How guards coordinate with your CCTV, LPR, and access-control systems, and the reporting your team and insurers need.

Request a free assessment or call 212-208-0900; coverage can begin quickly after a signed agreement, subject to availability.
What types of warehouse facilities does Dahlcore secure?
Distribution centers, e-commerce fulfillment centers, pharmaceutical and healthcare storage, food and beverage distribution, electronics and high-value warehouses, manufacturing plants, and 3PL and multi-tenant industrial properties. Post orders and guard briefings are tailored to each facility’s inventory, traffic, and compliance needs.
Are your warehouse 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. Documentation is available on request.
Do your guards handle access control at loading docks and entrances?
Yes. Guards monitor entry points, verify vendor and contractor credentials, maintain visitor logs, and enforce site-specific access procedures at gates, dock doors, and restricted interior zones — with direct oversight of inbound and outbound shipment activity, the highest-risk window for shrinkage.
Can Dahlcore work with our existing cameras and security systems?
Yes. Dahlcore guards coordinate with your existing video surveillance, license-plate-recognition (LPR), and access-control systems, operating alongside them rather than replacing them. Patrol coverage is verified through GPS-enabled tour checkpoints and reported through time-stamped daily activity logs.
How is Dahlcore different from a national security firm?
Dahlcore is an independently operated New York security company, veteran-owned and led by its founder, Ian Dahlberg. Clients have direct access to security management — not a national call center — for schedule changes, incident follow-up, and post-order updates. Guard assignments are site-specific, and post orders are written for each facility rather than applied from a national template.
What insurance documentation does Dahlcore provide for vendor compliance?
Dahlcore provides general-liability insurance and workers’-compensation documentation as part of vendor onboarding, and can share licensing certificates and guard training records during the proposal stage. Additional compliance documents can be reviewed on request.
How quickly can Dahlcore start warehouse security coverage?
In most cases, coverage can begin quickly once scope, post orders, and coverage hours are confirmed — subject to staffing and site complexity. Expedited timelines may be available for urgent needs. Call 212-208-0900 to discuss your timeline; 24/7 support stands behind every post.
