Construction Site Security

From mobilization through close-out, the site stays watched.

Construction sites are open, expensive, and a magnet for theft, vandalism, and trespass after hours. City Bay deploys NYC-licensed officers and patrol vehicles to protect equipment, materials, and crews — for the full duration of the project, including the windows when the GC has gone home.

What's Included

Every post comes with the same standard of care

Marked patrol vehicles

Visible deterrent at the perimeter — uniformed officer behind the wheel, GPS-tracked, lights on at the gate.

Equipment & material protection

Copper wire, tools, fuel, lumber, generators — the high-theft list. We document and patrol it, your insurer notices.

OSHA-aware on-site officers

Hard-hat trained, familiar with PPE and fall protection, comfortable on active construction floors during day shifts.

Fire watch when required

NYC FDNY-certified fire watch during hot work, impaired-system events, or as a condition of your permit.

A presence that costs less than what it prevents

A single after-hours incident — stripped wire, stolen tools, a broken-in trailer, a tagged hoarding — easily costs more than a month of staffed coverage. Most construction theft is opportunistic; a marked patrol vehicle and a uniformed officer at the gate redirects that opportunity elsewhere. For larger sites, layered coverage (staffed gate + rover) eliminates the dead corners where theft tends to migrate.

GC-friendly procedures and paperwork

We know what your superintendent is going to ask for: a certificate of insurance the same day, signed shift reports for the project log, photographic documentation of any incident, and clean coordination with whatever sub-tier site-safety / fire-watch coverage you already have on the job. We do this every week and we don't need to be onboarded twice.

Body-Camera Proof of Deployment

Every City Bay guard is equipped with a body camera. For clients, that means a documented chain of evidence for any incident, stronger accountability for every interaction on your property, and a real reduction in liability exposure — three reasons our clients consistently see lower insurance claims and lower premiums.
