Most security companies feel that once the permit is secured their responsibility ends. The reality is, securing the permit is the easy part. It gets more complicated to secure the street, hold down the limo lane, secure the Load In and Load Out, making sure the “no parking” signs go up (and replaced if they are ripped down), communicating with (and soothing) neighbors, and working with local law enforcement to make them aware of events coming to their precinct. Securing permits is the first step, the next one is to secure the success of the permit. This is why Knight is your best partner, we ensure that success.

The Role of Law Enforcement
In New York City, security companies and the police collaborate closely to ensure the safety and smooth operation of permitted events. Knight Security provides permitting services and private personnel who are often responsible for crowd management, checking identification, and monitoring entrances, while the NYPD coordinates overall public safety, responds to emergencies, and enforces laws. The police and Knight’s team work together to develop comprehensive security plans, conduct risk assessments, and determine where additional personnel or resources are needed. Communication between both groups is crucial, with shared radio channels or direct contact to address any concerns swiftly. This partnership helps maintain order, prevents incidents, and ensures the safety of attendees at large gatherings, festivals, and public events across the city.
