Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed manufacturing security guards for factories, production plants, and industrial campuses across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island and New York State. Our guards protect people, equipment, raw materials, finished goods, and production processes at every point of vulnerability — production floors, loading docks, truck yards, control rooms, R&D labs, and remote storage — working alongside your EHS and safety teams to reinforce the safety culture, not disrupt it. Founded in 2018 and led by Ian Dahlberg, who brings over 23 years of security experience, our veteran-owned team offers armed and unarmed coverage, mobile patrol, and Virtual Guard monitoring, with 24/7 support behind every post.
Security for New York Factories & Plants
Manufacturing security protects a facility’s people, equipment, raw materials, finished goods, and production processes — from the plant floor to the fence line, where trucks, vendors, contractors, and employees move continuously and a single access-control gap can mean theft, downtime, or a safety incident. Dahlcore scopes each program to the facility’s layout, shift schedule, and risk profile.
What We Cover, by Area
- Production plants & factories — production-floor access control, control-room and tool-crib security, and shift-change coverage
- Attached warehouses & distribution — loading-dock oversight, truck-yard patrols, and inventory protection
- R&D, labs & high-value / IP zones — restricted-area enforcement, controlled-access documentation, and tamper-evident logging
- Coverage modes — 8-hour, 12-hour, or 24/7 shifts, day, swing, or overnight, uniformed or plainclothes, armed or unarmed, plus mobile patrol and Virtual Guard
The plant floor never stops — neither does the risk
Continuous shifts, constant vendor and contractor traffic, high-value tooling, and multiple gates make manufacturing sites uniquely exposed — especially during shift changes and after hours. A trained officer controlling access, patrolling the perimeter, and documenting activity keeps production protected without getting in its way.
Why Manufacturers Hire Dahlcore
Licensed, EHS-aware, and independently run — Dahlcore protects New York plants with direct access to management and coverage that works around production.
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 is fully insured; documentation, including a certificate of insurance, 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.
Industrial & EHS-Aware Training
Officers are trained for the plant floor — access control, perimeter and gate security, hazard awareness, de-escalation, and loading-dock protocols — and coordinate with your EHS and safety teams so guard procedures reinforce, rather than disrupt, your safety culture.
On-Site + Virtual Guard
Combine uniformed on-site officers with Dahlcore Virtual Guard — remote operators monitoring live feeds, issuing audio warnings, and dispatching guards per your escalation plan — and coordinate with your existing CCTV, access-control, and intrusion systems, with digital patrol and incident reporting.

Site Safety & Access Support
Dahlcore guards work alongside plant management and safety teams to reinforce the safety culture already in place — we support your team; we don’t replace your safety staff.
- Site-safety-aware post orders — guard post orders reinforce your facility’s internal safety policies, PPE rules, and access procedures
- Restricted-zone & access control — post orders can be aligned to your facility’s own premises-security procedures
- Safety-team coordination — guards coordinate with your safety team on PPE checks at access points, restricted zones, and emergency-drill support
- Emergency & lockdown — post orders for workplace violence, theft, fire, and evacuation, with incident documentation for internal reviews and audits
How Dahlcore Secures Your Facility
A structured path from assessment to audit-ready coverage — built around your production.
Assessment & Written Recommendation
We evaluate perimeter control, access points, interior zones, and technology, then deliver a written threat assessment and coverage recommendation for your facility.
Custom Post Orders
Site-specific guard instructions — access rules, patrols, escalation, and reporting — aligned with your EHS and safety requirements.
Guard Deployment
Trained officers are briefed and posted — uniformed or plainclothes, armed or unarmed — with Virtual Guard added where it improves visibility.
Coverage, Patrols & Reporting
Access control, perimeter and interior patrols, digital incident reports, and coordination with your EHS team and existing systems.
Supervision & Review
Supervisors conduct on-site quality checks and are reachable 24/7 for escalations and staffing adjustments; coverage adjusts as the plant changes.
Guards and technology, one response picture
For large or complex footprints, Dahlcore pairs on-site officers with Virtual Guard remote monitoring and coordinates with your existing cameras, access control, and intrusion detection — so alerts are verified by a human, incidents are documented in real time, and plant and corporate leadership get one clear picture.
What Shapes Your Manufacturing Security Plan
Dahlcore scopes every facility to its processes, compliance posture, and layout. These are the factors that shape the plan.
1. Facility Type & Processes
Factory, production plant, or industrial campus — and how sensitive the processes, materials, and intellectual property are.
2. Coverage Hours & Posts
Floor, docks, gates, yard, and control rooms 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 plants; armed guards (valid NYS pistol license, Penal Law §400) are available for high-value or sensitive-material facilities after assessment.
4. Compliance Posture
Your OSHA and EHS obligations, restricted-area and IP requirements, and any customer or industry compliance expectations.
5. Technology
Virtual Guard, and how guards coordinate with your CCTV, access-control, and intrusion-detection systems.

Where can I hire manufacturing security guards in New York?
Dahlcore Security Guard Services provides licensed manufacturing security guards across New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — plus Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk) and New York State. We secure factories, production plants, and industrial campuses. Request a free assessment or call 212-208-0900; coverage can begin quickly after a signed agreement, subject to availability.
What types of manufacturing facilities does Dahlcore protect?
Factories, production plants, food-processing facilities, pharmaceutical and electronics manufacturing, heavy-industrial operations, and industrial campuses with attached warehouses and outdoor yards. Post orders and guard briefings are tailored to each facility’s processes, layout, and compliance needs.
Are your manufacturing 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 insurance; documentation is available on request.
Are your guards trained specifically for manufacturing environments?
Yes. Guards assigned to manufacturing sites receive site-specific orientation covering access control, perimeter security, patrol procedures, hazard awareness, de-escalation, loading-dock protocols, emergency communication, and coordination with your safety team.
What’s the difference between armed and unarmed manufacturing guards?
Unarmed guards handle access control, patrol, visitor and contractor screening, and incident reporting — appropriate for most manufacturing environments. Armed guards — licensed under New York’s pistol-license law (Penal Law §400) — are deployed where a risk assessment indicates a higher threat level, such as facilities handling high-value inventory or sensitive materials, only after a site assessment.
Can Dahlcore integrate with our existing cameras and alarm systems?
Yes. Dahlcore coordinates with your existing CCTV, access-control, and intrusion-detection systems to refine response protocols and reporting workflows — no full system replacement required. Virtual Guard remote monitoring can be layered on for loading docks, fence lines, and after-hours entry points.
Do you offer after-hours, weekend, and holiday plant coverage?
Yes. Coverage is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays — on-site guards, scheduled mobile patrols, and Virtual Guard options for closed facilities, remote yards, and high-value storage areas.
How quickly can Dahlcore start a manufacturing security program?
Engagement begins with a site assessment and a written proposal aligned to your footprint, production schedule, and compliance requirements. Coverage can be activated quickly once scope and post orders are confirmed, subject to staffing and site complexity. Call 212-208-0900 to discuss your timeline.
