The Division of Criminal Justice Services, Office of Public Safety provides administrative oversight for mandated security training. The New York State Department of State, Division of Licensing Services has oversight responsibility for the registration of all security guards.

If you have questions about registration, you must direct them to the Division of Licensing Services. 

You can reach them by phone at (518) 474-7569, by fax at (518) 474-7739, or by email at licensing@dos.state.ny.us. You can also get answers to many of your licensing questions at the Department of State web site.
