Did you know that New York City has already passed legislation that allows adults 21 years or older to possess up to three ounces of recreational cannabis? The use of medical or recreational marijuana is on a steady rise, meaning cannabis is a highly profitable plant and the reason for many dispensaries cropping up.
However, despite this remarkable growth, dispensaries have become prime targets for security threats. That has led to high demand for security companies like GSS Security Services, Inc. to protect high-risk businesses. The following are some reasons why your cannabis business in NYC might need our security services:
Armed and Unarmed Security Officers
As a top provider of armed and unarmed security services in New York City and beyond, GSS Security Services, Inc. works with numerous cannabis dispensaries to guarantee safety to the workers, customers, and their inventories.
Armed Transport Services
Since cannabis dispensaries are predominantly cash-only businesses, they are often faced with the challenge of storing and transporting vast sums of cash from their stores. As a result, this makes them excellent targets for criminals. However, GSS Security Services, Inc. provides armed transport services that ensure your cash and products safety.
Robbery and Theft Prevention Services
Our highly trained and armed security officers offer robbery and theft prevention services for your money and product. Besides, the presence of our security officers located around your marijuana dispensary helps to bestow and project a higher sense of professional credibility to your business. Since inside jobs are also a threat to the cannabis industry, enlisting our security guards in your business will remind employees that they are under constant monitoring, reducing employee theft.

With an increased threat of global security, an armed executive protection officer can be imperative to the threat of imminent danger, crisis management, and providing an immediate response during an emergency. In fact, an armed protection officer has higher qualifications than entry-level security personnel. First, let's discuss the role of an armed executive protection officer and then we'll touch on why they're an imperative source of protection for large or high profile clients.
What Is an Armed Executive Protection Officer & What Do They Do
An armed executive protection officer provides close protection (i.e. physical protection) with a firearm. Efficient and high-quality support are important to the welfare and assets of their clients. They're expected to use their training and experience to deflect the possibility of immediate danger, a kidnapping, or unauthorized access by an intruder. If necessary, using a weapon is a part of their attempt to secure their client or group.
Why You Should Consider an Armed Executive Protection Officer
If you're a high profile client, having an armed executive protection officer can help you restore your life to normalcy. A single encounter of violence or kidnapping can be avoided with their right protection. In fact, armed executive protection meets the needs of:
- Extremely powerful individuals
- High profile people
- Celebrities
- Government officials
- Successful people with influence
Privacy
If you're a public figure and need your privacy, an armed executive officer can meet your needs. They have the experience to keep overzealous, greedy photographers, and nosy people from occupying your personal space. Their skills can go a long way towards providing you with the protection you need to lead a private life.
Personal Protection
In an unpredictable society, many high profile people need personal protection to avoid danger or a threat. An armed executive officer provides you protection against any type of danger. In fact, they can also protect your value personal property. For instance, if you're carrying valuables from one location to another a experienced executive officer can help.
Deter Criminal Activity
The appearance of an armed security officer can often times deter criminal activity or a threat. Most criminals look for an easy opportunity to commit a crime.

There are many cases in which a business executive might need protection. If you're dealing in something valuable and you need to carry it from one location to another, you'll feel a lot safer if you have a security officer with you. Or if you're doing some research which might be valuable to the competition, you might want to have a security officer present at all times to make sure that that research doesn't leave your premises.
Plus, there are times when high-level executives themselves become the victims of kidnapping because it might be valuable to other people to have them out of the way and also because this is profitable for kidnappers who ask for ransom.
Dealing with Extraordinary Situations
If you are a business executive who is feeling the need for security in any way, remember that it's always better to be safe than sorry. Even if it turns out that there is no attack or no attempt at stealing whatever you might be carrying, you'll just breathe easier knowing that there is a trained person next to you who will be able to deal with the situation.
Nine times out of ten, there might not be any danger to you or whatever you're carrying but the tenth time, there might be. It's in order to deal with this extraordinary situation that people get executive protection.
Signs That You Need Executive Protection
As an executive, you need to consider your position. Would getting you out of the way, even temporarily, benefit someone else? Maybe a rival executive at a different company or an organization which is opposed to what your organization is doing? If there have been any threats against you or your company or a lot of dissent about some research you might be doing, then it's a good idea to consider getting executive protection.

Everyone wants their special event to go smoothly. You might be organizing a music concert, a wedding, a charity gala or a fashion show. In each case, you're going to have a number of people attending the event which makes it necessary for it to be organized and directed. You can do this with the help of special events security.
Security Helps You to Focus on Your Job
When you're backstage making sure that the performance goes smoothly or that the vows are said without a hitch, you can't be bothered about organizing everyone who's attending the event also. This job can be delegated to your security team.
Qualities of a Good Security Officer
You need security officers who have experience working at this kind of event. Not only should a security person be appropriately dressed and recognizable as someone in charge, but they should also direct people with confidence and authority. These are the marks of a good security officer.
Speaking Politely but Authoritatively
When security officers direct people to form a single line or to show their invitations/tickets, they need to do so politely but assertively. If a security officer starts shouting at the lines of people waiting for an event, it actually becomes difficult to take them seriously. At the same time, it is difficult to take someone seriously if they are difficult to hear. So speaking at the right volume, remaining polite and yet being authoritative is necessary for a special events security officer.
Being Alert in Case of Security-Related Issues
A security officer also needs to be alert in case there is any trouble at the event. The trouble could be as small as someone who doesn't want to wait in line or someone who is trying to gatecrash the event. A good security officer will be able to herd such a person to the side and send them on their way without making a scene. And if there is a more serious type of issue such as a fire, a security officer will be able to help people leave the event without stampeding and getting injured.

What do all movie production sets have in common?
On a typical movie set, we have the movie actors, equipment worth millions of dollars, hundreds to thousands of production crew members and other third party staff and vendors.
The typical movie set is a recipe for chaos –perhaps even disaster –without the right management practices and safeguards in place. It is thus essential to have the right kind of protection on set to ensure the smooth running of production and the safety of all participants and means of production.
In seeking out a security protection services provider on your set, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
1. Prioritize Content
A security protection services provider should understand that content is vital on a movie set and organize all security functions accordingly. They should separate all the areas where content and media are created and stored from all other production areas on set. They should also limit access to these areas as is necessary to ensure optimum security.
2. Embrace the Element of Surprise
A security protection services provider, acting within relevant local laws, you should put spontaneous security measures in place on set, including random searches, on entry or exit, of persons, cars, bags, and other personal effects. These security measures should be unmethodical in order not to be clocked or pre-empted.
3. Make Sure You Control Access
Security services protection providers should restrict the use of the internet, social media, personal and mobile devices by production crew members and third-party staff. Depending on the nature of the production, they may also limit or disallow the use of recording devices on set.
Limit access to production documents and oversee their destruction so that access to all production documents is limited to relevant personnel. They should have security policies that recognize production documents as intellectual property and treat them as such.
4. Enhance Your Monitoring Practices
Security services protection providers should monitor everyone on set and ensure that all crew members and third-party staff always have a means of identification on them. These means of identification should be differentiated to distinguish people on set and determine their function or purpose on sight.
Monitor all entry and exit points to the movie set. In helping clients choose a movie location, prioritize centralized and monitored alarm systems.
You should also watch the movie set outside of business hours.
In Conclusion
Do you need a one-stop solution to all security services protection needs on the set of your movie production? Do you need to be assured of the safety of all third party staff, production crew, and equipment on set?

Being in the public eye can be risky. CEOs, celebrities, famous entrepreneurs, top company executives and people in high-level or high-profile positions face more threats than the average person. This is especially so in an era when companies and brands try to humanize themselves by putting authentic information and relevant people in the spotlight. This fame makes it easier for anyone with a grievance or bad intent to pick a target and do them harm.
With increased visibility comes the need for increased caution. So, the need for specialized security services and executive protection is on the rise.
What Is Executive Protection?
Even though the term is often associated with 'bodyguards', executive protection is about much more than that. Bodyguards stay close to their clients at all times and keep them bodily safe from threats and annoyances. They are only a small part of the service offered by many executive protection outfits. Executive protection covers more proactive and analytical services. Some of these are;
- In-depth planning to prepare for clients itinerary
- Risk assessments customized for individual clients
- Advance identification of potential risks
- Reactive plans to eliminate or lessen the possibility of any security incidents
This approach significantly reduces the chances of exposure to danger or the need for executive protection specialists to even swing into action.
What Exactly Does It Offer?
The extent of executive protection services is usually dependent on the client's preferences, and their level of exposure to possible risk. Factors like risk history, location, age, and social ranking also influence how in-depth a protection plan should be. Generally, some of the types of security services offered to executives include;
Protective Surveillance
This service works best for clients who prefer not to make it obvious that they are being protected. It is a low-profile technique which protects from a distance, with security teams remaining close by and ready to act if their intervention is required. The client can go about their daily activities with no obvious disruptions or distractions, all the while assured that ample protection is hovering just out of sight.
Counter Surveillance Support
These are services provided to clients who suspect they are being followed or security teams who have received intelligence that the client they are protecting is being followed. Counter surveillance support teams covertly observe such clients or security teams to identify anyone monitoring them and take expert steps to stop or delay such persons.
Security Drivers
A security specialist behind the wheel is another way of keeping the client safe while they are in transit. Such a person is often trained in how to advise the client and react effectively in the event of an ambush, or on identifying any motorized surveillance. This can also include escort vehicles.
Residential Security
Security operatives can be used to keep homes and offices safe. This type of protection can cover family and other loved ones. The operatives may be retained for the purposes of ensuring the client's privacy, assess or protect inside the home and outbuildings/perimeters, or provide home security while the client is away.
Asset Protection
This service covers the security of physical assets (like property: cars, houses, expensive collectibles) and ensuring the integrity of non-physical assets (digital information).
Travel-Risk Planning
Security outfits can provide executive protection for clients who are traveling locally or internationally, whether by road, water or air. They also assess the level of risk each method of travel comes with, provide travel intelligence and advise clients and their families on how best to stay safe.
Contingency Planning
Of great importance is the need to have plans in place for unforeseen circumstances. Executive security services provide contingency plans for egress, escape or retrieval during a crisis.

When you're hosting a special event, you want everything to go smoothly. Whether it's a small event or a large one, it's still important that everything should take place in a tasteful and organized manner. In fact, special events security can help you to do this.
Running the Event in an Organized Manner
Special events security can make sure that people know where they are going and that there's no rushing around which can lead into accidents. If necessary, they can make sure everyone forms a line and that they are let in one by one. They can also handle it if there seems to be any aggressive behavior at the event or outside it.
Protecting Celebrities from Eager Fans
If you are hosting any high-level celebrities at your event, that makes it even more necessary to have special events security. Sometimes, it is possible for people to get out of hand when they see their favorite celebrities in person. It's possible for them to try to push through the lines and get a better view or even touch their favorite celebrity. And although it would not be a problem if only one person were trying to do this, it can get really out of hand when there are a number of fans trying to get closer to a celebrity.
Preventing Herd Mentality From Taking Hold
Even if you're not expecting any high-level celebrities, it is possible for people to behave differently when they are in a group. There's something known as herd mentality in which people start doing what other people are doing.
Sometimes, this can be beneficial. For example, if one person gives a standing ovation, other people also start giving standing ovations. But sometimes, it can get out of hand when the audience at your event starts behaving in a negative way and others also follow suit. Fortunately, having special events security can help you to avoid situations of this sort.

One of the main characteristics of a well-run event is good planning and the ability to be ready. Factors ranging from the number of attendees to the size of the event space determine what safety plans should be implemented. Indeed, no one likes to hope to use these types of emergency plans, but it is better to make sure nothing has been left to chance. You need to take smart steps to protect yourself, your staff, and any attendees at the event.
When some people hear any alarms or realize they are in the midst of an emergency, fear takes over, and they may react without thinking. Thus, it is important to have a plan in place, and people who are primed and ready to react calmly to protect those who need help and guidance at that moment.
Event organizers have the responsibility of carrying out risk assessments to identify any hazards and think up plans to solve them or minimize their impact. One of the most important ways of ensuring safety at an event, big or small, is to have a good evacuation plan. Below are 5 things your emergency evacuation plans should do in a special event.
Identify Evacuation Routes
The best evacuation routes and most effective means of escape must be identified, and must not be obstructed during any events for ease of access. Also, these thoroughfares and exits must be visible, with clear signs explaining their purpose.
Staff Sensitization
All staff members must be prepared for emergencies and aware of the evacuation routes and plans. They should also be familiar with the details of whom to contact, the chain of command, and how best to manage attendees. Key personnel should be appointed to different duties and responsibilities, such as:
- Managing attendees
- Early recognition of emergency situations
- Application of CPR and first aid
Crowd Control
To prevent chaos, there must be an effective plan for crowd direction, control and communication, and documentation. Staff must be posted along the evacuation route, communicate calmly and loudly, and lead people to a safe assembly area.
Alerting External Agencies
Plans must be in place to communicate with and bring in outside emergency medical services (e.g. ambulances, fire and rescue services, police) if necessary, and effect a smooth handover of responsibility to them.
Regular Updates
A good evacuation plan must be dynamic and up-to-date at all times. It should take changes in things like personnel, event space, storage plans, and emergency phone numbers into account. Also, plans must be revised to account for any observed weak points.
In Conclusion
During many events, meetings or conferences, the prospect of emergencies are often ignored. There must be reasonable steps taken to prevent harm or injury, and planning to calmly and effectively handle any unexpected situations that may arise. A well-planned emergency plan which includes a rock-solid evacuation process will manage risks, minimize danger and keep many people under your care safe.

One thing you should consider is hiring special event security to help everything run smoothly and keep the drama to a minimum. Here are some special occasions where you should consider hiring a security specialist.
Special Birthday Parties
From a sweet 16 birthday to a lordy, lordy, look who is forty birthday party, you want to make a memory they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Security has been a presence in human culture since at least Ancient Rome, making it no surprise that the industry has changed considerably over the years. While at one time it was the belief that only burly, uniformed officers make a difference, the culture has shifted into highly capable, but approachable, professional officers.
Protecting the Fun Doesn't Mean Huge Sentries Posted
In today's world, event security isn't there to enforce a bunch of rules, or run around kicking people out. It's there to ensure that the 90% of those in attendance that are doing absolutely nothing wrong are given the opportunity to have the fun they came to the event for.
Our special event security officers are trained in being unobtrusive, but vigilant, to ensure that those that require attention to help preserve the event are handled effectively, with those that are simply there to have fun barely even notice them.
As part of that mission to protect your fun, we offer pre-event checks that include everything from perimeter checks to sniffing for explosive devices, all done before guests even arrive. This ensures that your event is as secure as possible for both you, as well as those who come to attend.
Scale-able Approach
Not every event needs a huge team of special event officers, and having too few of them can cause guests to feel unsafe or become the victim of crime. Our approach to event security revolves around a scale-able approach, ensuring that the right number of our officers are at your event, in the right locations, to ensure the highest level of effectiveness possible.
To find out how our special event officers can help your attendees have a fun time at your event, contact us today.
One of the main concerns when holding any type of special event is providing security. In many cases event organizers know that trying to hire and train their own security is simply too expensive. It also would add to their administrative burden for organizing the event. Hiring a firm with trained and experienced security personnel can provide many benefits.
According to an article in Security Magazine, “The benefits of outsourcing security officers or operating a proprietary force are variable...Increase flexibility to meet changing business and security conditions...Leverage contractors project management experience, security expertise and investment in people, equipment and technology.”
Cost Effective
The costs associated with providing special event security can be reduced by outsourcing security personnel. The fees charged are based on the most recent market price ranges. It reduces administrative requirements for a special event. Since there is competition for providing security companies who use them know they're getting the best price.
High Standards
A company that provides security must be competitive. They know that their reputation is on the line every special event they work. Having experience when it come to providing event security is essential. Only employees who have maintained high standards are provided. These are properly trained individuals who have proven themselves during past events. Successfully providing special event security is as important to the security company as it is to the event organizers.
Supervision
An event organizer has many things that compete for their attention. A security company is focused on providing the best event security possible. They know how to properly monitor, correct and improve the behavior of their employees. If there is a problem with performance, it is addressed immediately.
Flexibility
When organizing a special event many things can change. Security needs may also change. Many security companies will be able to meet any changing needs that may occur. At times it can be difficult to anticipate the response to an event. Additional security needs can be addressed as needed.

Feeling threatened or being threatened doesn't have to be the reason for hiring personal security services, although most of the time: this is what it takes for people to realize their need for security. Truth is, people of high-profile are often more at risk than they think.
In reality, just being good-looking and having money sometimes can attract criminal types who take unwanted interest in you. Hiring personal security services doesn't have to look like the typical Hollywood scene in our heads, rather personal security services can be tailored just for you specifically.
Why Security is a Good Idea
Taking protective measures in personal protection is always a good idea for people of high-profile. This doesn't mean you have to have a large entourage of men in black following you everywhere, rather it could look more like one security officer who blends into the environment. There are many variables to consider when strategizing a plan for your security, and GSS makes great efforts to understand each client's specific needs.
Settling for Less than the Best is Dangerous

* We have extensive experience in providing security services for special events of all sizes. With that experience comes resources. Involving us in your event planning early allows us to leverage our experience and resources in order to help you with details that include acquiring permits, equipment rental, transportation, and coordination of parking.
* Knowing your plans helps us to formulate and execute our own. No two events are alike. Anticipating your security needs relies far more on knowing how many people you're planning to have at the event. Knowing early the type of event, the location of it, potential security issues that you're aware of, and a myriad of other possibilities related to your unique event means we have the opportunity to be completely prepared to provide the best security available.
* Consider us an additional team of eyes and ears. You know your event and you know the people who are planning to attend. But is there anything you've missed in the preparation? If there is, it is far better to realize that early rather than find out just before the event is set to begin that a crucial piece of the plan has been overlooked. We take our jobs very seriously. We are skilled and we are thorough. That will always work to your benefit.
A professional and highly competent security team is an important part of a successful special event, regardless of how big the guest list is. Special events security is one of our strongest assets. Let us help. Contact us today for more information.
