Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed armed and unarmed security officers across Queens, New York — every neighborhood, from Astoria, Long Island City, and Jackson Heights to Flushing, Forest Hills, Jamaica, and the Rockaways. We serve Queens from our Staten Island headquarters and Manhattan office, with rapid dispatch and site-specific post orders for residential buildings, commercial and retail properties, construction sites, and events. Founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience, our veteran-owned team gives Queens property managers, business owners, and event organizers a professional, accountable security presence — not a generic post from a distant call center.
Security Guard Services Across Queens
Queens is one of the most diverse boroughs in the country, and its security needs vary just as widely — high-foot-traffic retail along Jamaica Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue, overnight construction in Long Island City, and residential complexes in Forest Hills and Flushing. Dahlcore builds each plan around the specific property, schedule, and risk profile, with written post orders before the first shift, so coverage fits your site rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

A real team, a real point of contact
Dahlcore serves Queens from our Staten Island headquarters and Manhattan office, with officers who know the borough. You reach a real person who manages the account directly — a named account manager, written post orders, and supervisor oversight behind every shift — not a rotating roster and a national queue.
Why Queens Clients Choose Dahlcore
Licensed, accountable, and built around your property — Dahlcore protects Queens buildings, businesses, sites, and events.
Licensed & Background-Checked
Dahlcore is a licensed New York security guard agency (NY Department of State). 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), thoroughly background-checked, and trained through DCJS-approved programs. Dahlcore is fully insured; certificates of insurance and credentials are available on request.
Veteran-Owned & Owner-Managed
Dahlcore is veteran-owned and operated — founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience. The owner personally manages guards in the office and in the field, and officers are held to law-enforcement and military standards, with many bringing those backgrounds to their Queens posts.
Trained & Technology-Supported
Officers complete New York’s required training (8-hour pre-assignment, 16-hour on-the-job, and 8-hour annual in-service through DCJS-approved programs), with up-to-date certifications and de-escalation training. GPS-tracked patrol tours and a real-time incident-reporting app give you a timestamped log of every checkpoint and action.
Documented & Accountable
Every account has a named account manager, written post orders, and regular supervisor check-ins. Each shift produces a daily activity report, and any incident is captured in a documented report suitable for your records and any law-enforcement follow-up — so you are informed, not left to discover problems yourself.

Queens Security FAQ

Do you provide security guards in Queens?
Yes. Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed armed and unarmed officers across all of Queens — Northwest, Central, East, and South Queens plus the Rockaways — for residential buildings, commercial and retail properties, construction sites, and events. Request a free site assessment or call 212-208-0900.
What Queens neighborhoods do you cover?
All of them — including Astoria, Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, and Jackson Heights in Northwest Queens; Flushing, Corona, Elmhurst, and Forest Hills in Central Queens; Bayside, Fresh Meadows, and Queens Village in the east; Jamaica, Richmond Hill, and Ozone Park in the south; and the Rockaways.
Do you have a Queens office?
Dahlcore serves Queens from our Staten Island headquarters (1110 South Avenue) and our Manhattan office (250 Park Avenue), with Queens-area officers and 24/7 dispatch. You get local coverage and a named account contact without a middleman call center — and management you can actually reach.
Are your Queens guards licensed in New York State?
Yes. Dahlcore is a licensed New York security guard agency (NY Department of State), and 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). Officers complete NYS-mandated training — 8-hour pre-assignment, 16 hours on-the-job, and 8 hours annual in-service — through DCJS-approved programs. You can verify any New York security registration through the NY Department of State’s public license lookup at dos.ny.gov.
Do you provide armed or unarmed guards in Queens?
Both. Unarmed officers suit most residential, retail, office, and event assignments and are trained in de-escalation, access control, and incident documentation. Armed officers are recommended for higher-risk sites; they are licensed under New York’s pistol-license law (Penal Law §400) and complete annual firearms qualification. We advise on the right model at no charge during the initial consultation.
What types of Queens properties do you serve?
Residential buildings and gated communities, offices, retail and shopping centers, warehouses and industrial sites, construction sites, healthcare and educational facilities, and event venues. Each gets a plan scoped to its risk profile and schedule, with shifts available in 4-, 8-, and 12-hour blocks.
Do your Queens guards have law-enforcement or military experience?
Dahlcore is veteran-owned, and officers are held to law-enforcement and military standards; many bring prior law-enforcement or military backgrounds to their posts. Guard selection is matched to the specific requirements of each Queens assignment.
How quickly can you start coverage in Queens?
After a site assessment and post-order confirmation, coverage can begin quickly, subject to officer availability and site complexity. For urgent needs and coverage gaps, Dahlcore prioritizes rapid dispatch across the borough — call 212-208-0900 and our 24/7 dispatch will discuss your timeline.
