Why Choose Arrow?
Placing the right
officers for the
environment

We recognize that our Officers will be interacting directly with residents, staff, visitors, and the local community, which requires a special blend of skills. Our hiring/screening process accounts for this: We screen, vet, and recruit Officers who demonstrate the highest levels of empathy, experience, and a commitment to service.
Security Officer Training

Our shelter Officers are FEMA Active Shooter Certified, and all Officers working in NYC shelters take the mandatory Homeless Services
40-hour Security Guard training course. In addition, our Arrow Academy training program offers 200+ courses, including training specifically for this segment:
de-escalation techniques, dealing with mentally ill people, defusing conflict & crisis, just to name a few.
Reliable
Quality Management
& Supervision

Clients are assigned an Account Manager who is available 24/7/365 for support. We also utilize advanced technology to enhance your security program. This includes geofencing to ensure accurate Officer check in/out, which is tied directly to our payroll and billing software; so monitoring/payroll for our Officers and invoicing to our clients are accurate!
As a true Super-Regional guarding company, we are large enough to provide you with the resources, technology, and supervision to deliver a superior security program while being nimble enough to react quickly and deliver an exceptional customer experience.
