Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides financial security guards for banks, credit unions, investment and wealth-management firms, mortgage and loan offices, check-cashing locations, and corporate financial headquarters across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island and New York State. Financial institutions face threats general security isn’t built for — armed robbery, ATM tampering, insider fraud, unauthorized vault access, and civil disruption — and Dahlcore builds programs around those specific risks. 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) and trained for financial environments, with 24/7 support behind every post.
Security for New York Banks & Financial Institutions
Financial security protects an institution’s people, cash, customers, and reputation — against armed robbery, ATM tampering, insider fraud, unauthorized vault access, and civil disruption. These are threats a generic guard deployment isn’t trained for. Dahlcore builds programs around them, from a single branch to a corporate financial headquarters, with officers trained for the regulatory and operational demands of financial environments.
What We Cover, by Institution Type
- Banks & credit unions — lobby, teller-line, and vault-corridor coverage, ATM-vestibule monitoring, and visible robbery deterrence
- Investment, wealth & mortgage offices — access control, visitor screening, and discreet coverage for private-banking and high-net-worth clients
- Check-cashing & branch networks — high-cash-volume coverage, after-hours patrols, and standardized post orders across locations
- Coverage modes — 8-hour, 12-hour, or 24/7 shifts, single branch or multi-branch network, uniformed or plainclothes, armed or unarmed, plus Virtual Guard
A visible officer is the first deterrent
Most robberies target the path of least resistance. A trained, professional officer at the entrance and teller line changes that calculation — deterring robbery, screening who enters, and standing ready to respond and coordinate with the NYPD if an incident occurs, all while keeping the branch welcoming for customers.
Why Financial Institutions Hire Dahlcore
Licensed, financial-trained, and compliance-aware — Dahlcore protects New York banks and financial offices where security performance affects safety, customer confidence, and audit readiness.
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. Dahlcore carries general-liability and workers’-compensation coverage; documentation is available on request.
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.
Financial-Specific Training
Officers assigned to financial institutions are trained before their first shift — robbery awareness and threat recognition, de-escalation of customer disputes, credential verification and tailgating prevention, cash-handling escort procedures, and coordination with branch managers and the NYPD.
Compliance-Aware Documentation
Access logs, visitor records, and incident reports are structured to support your internal audits and physical-security frameworks, and Dahlcore coordinates with your compliance team. Regulatory responsibility stays with your institution; our role is documentation that supports it.
Financial Security Services
Financial Regulatory Support
Operational context, not legal or compliance advice. Financial institutions operate under demanding physical-security frameworks. Dahlcore’s procedures are designed to support alignment with them, and we coordinate with your compliance team — institutions should confirm regulatory applicability with their compliance counsel.
- Bank Protection Act (12 CFR Part 326) — physical-security standards for federally insured institutions; Dahlcore’s officer coverage, alarm response, and documentation support alignment
- FDIC security guidance — Dahlcore supports risk-based security-program documentation and incident-reporting standards
- NYS DFS expectations — physical-security procedures aligned to support NY Department of Financial Services expectations for licensed institutions
- GLBA Safeguards Rule — physical access controls that support protection of nonpublic customer financial information
How Dahlcore Secures Your Institution
A structured path from assessment to audit-ready coverage — built around your branch or network.
Site Assessment
We review entry points, cash-handling procedures, customer flow, camera coverage, and existing access controls at each location.
Written Security Plan
Post orders, patrol routes, access-control protocols, and emergency procedures written for your institution — not copied from a template.
Guard Deployment
Trained officers are briefed and posted — armed, unarmed, or a blended deployment — with Virtual Guard where continuous monitoring helps.
Coverage, Access & Reporting
Lobby, vault, and ATM coverage, access control, and audit-ready incident and access records for internal review.
Review & Standardize
A field manager conducts regular site checks, coverage is standardized across branches, and post orders are updated as needs change.
One standard across every branch
For multi-branch institutions, Dahlcore standardizes officer conduct and reporting across locations, so any branch can produce a coherent security record on short notice. And when a demonstration or civil-unrest event affects a branch, mobile units focus on de-escalation, property protection, and staff and customer safety.
What Shapes Your Financial Security Plan
Dahlcore scopes every institution to its cash volume, layout, and compliance posture. These are the factors that shape the plan.
1. Institution Type & Cash Volume
Bank, credit union, investment or wealth office, or check-cashing location — and how much cash moves through it.
2. Coverage Hours & Posts
Lobby, teller line, vault, ATM, and perimeter drive how many posts and which shifts — 8-hour, 12-hour, or 24/7.
3. Armed or Unarmed
Armed guards (valid NYS pistol license, Penal Law §400) at vault, high-cash-volume, or prior-incident posts; unarmed for customer-facing and lower-risk areas; a blend is common.
4. Compliance Posture
Your Bank Protection Act, FDIC, NYDFS, and GLBA physical-security considerations and internal audit standards.
5. Single Branch or Network
One location or a multi-branch network with standardized post orders and reporting across sites.

Who provides financial security guards in New York?
Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides financial security guards to banks, credit unions, investment and wealth-management firms, mortgage and loan offices, check-cashing locations, and corporate financial headquarters across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island and New York State. Request an assessment or call 212-208-0900.
Are your financial-security 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. Officers are background-checked and covered by Dahlcore’s general-liability and workers’-compensation insurance.
What financial institutions does Dahlcore protect?
Banks, credit unions, investment and wealth-management firms, mortgage and loan offices, check-cashing locations, trading companies, and corporate financial headquarters. Programs are available for single-branch locations and multi-branch networks across New York, with standardized post orders and reporting.
Can we choose between armed and unarmed security guards?
Yes. Dahlcore provides armed officers, unarmed officers, or a blended deployment based on your risk profile, cash volume, branch layout, and corporate policy. Armed officers — licensed under New York’s pistol-license law (Penal Law §400) — are typically recommended for vault access points and high-cash-volume branches; unarmed officers suit customer-facing lobby roles and lower-risk offices.
Do you provide ATM security and cash-handling escort services?
Yes. Dahlcore guards monitor ATM vestibules and drive-up terminals, oversee cash drops, and provide on-site escort for staff during cash handling — coordinating with your armored-car vendor for deliveries and transfers. Officers observe for skimming and tampering and respond to incidents at cash points. (Dahlcore provides on-site security, not armored cash-in-transit.)
What compliance frameworks do your financial-security services support?
Dahlcore’s physical-security procedures are designed to support alignment with the Bank Protection Act (12 CFR Part 326), FDIC security guidance, NY Department of Financial Services expectations, and the GLBA Safeguards Rule’s physical access-control considerations. Dahlcore does not provide legal compliance advice; institutions should confirm regulatory applicability with their compliance counsel.
How do you develop a security plan for our branches?
Dahlcore begins with an on-site assessment of each location — reviewing entry points, cash-handling procedures, customer flow, camera coverage, and existing measures. The output is a written security plan with post orders, patrol routes, access-control protocols, and emergency procedures specific to your institution.
How quickly can Dahlcore deploy financial security guards?
Standard financial-security programs can be arranged after a site review and post-order approval, subject to availability. For urgent situations — robbery concerns, termination events, or temporary closures — Dahlcore assesses expedited coverage based on location, licensing, and staffing. Call 212-208-0900 to discuss your timeline; 24/7 support stands behind every post.
