On July 27th, BLACKPINK made history as the first K-pop girl group to headline New York City’s Citi Field, a milestone moment that brought tens of thousands of fans together in celebration. But while the concert was unforgettable for all the right reasons, what unfolded afterward at the MTA station nearby was memorable for all the wrong ones.
On July 5 and 6, BLACKPINK launched their Deadline World Tour with a solo concert held at the Goyang Sports Complex.
As seen in this video, the scene at the MTA station was chaotic — thousands of concertgoers bottlenecked at the entrance, with little to no coordination, direction, or visible effort to manage the crowd effectively. In a city known for its density and world-class infrastructure, this shouldn’t be the norm — and yet, this is becoming all too familiar.
From our perspective at Kings Security Services, this is a classic example of misplaced priorities. The MTA employs security primarily for one thing: fare enforcement. Guards are positioned at emergency exits to prevent turnstile-jumpers, not to help guide the public or ensure commuter safety. While fare evasion is a valid concern, it pales in comparison to the risk posed by thousands of people funneled into a poorly managed station after a major event.

We believe security should be proactive, not reactive. After large events like concerts, games, and parades, transit security should shift focus to crowd control, public safety, and crisis mitigation — not just revenue protection. Guards should be trained and deployed to keep foot traffic flowing, assist with navigation, de-escalate conflicts, and respond to potential emergencies.
Adding insult to injury, the MTA is now proposing a fare hike to $3 per ride by 2026. That’s a steep price to pay for service that, frankly, doesn’t feel like it prioritizes the safety of New Yorkers or the millions of visitors who rely on our transit system every year. If the cost of riding is going up, so should the quality of safety and service.
Security isn’t just about gates, locks, or turnstiles. It’s about people. It’s about planning. And it’s about presence. As a firm that specializes in event security, concierge staffing, and crowd management, we know the value that trained, service-minded guards can bring — not just in preventing problems, but in ensuring people leave with a positive impression of their experience.
The City of New York deserves better. Transit security should be more than a deterrent to fare evasion; it should be a pillar of public safety and civic hospitality. We hope this moment prompts the MTA and other agencies to rethink their approach — because the next big event shouldn’t be defined by what went wrong after the music stopped.

Just after 6:30 pm on July 28, 2025, a gunman entered 345 Park Avenue—a 44‑story Midtown Manhattan high-rise housing major tenants like the NFL headquarters, Blackstone, KPMG, and Rudin Management. Armed with an M4 rifle and wearing body armor, 27‑year‑old Shane Devon Tamura opened fire in the lobby, then rode the elevator to the 33rd floor, where the rampage culminated in four deaths—including two security personnel—and his own suicide New York Post+15ABC News+15TIME+15.

Investigators say Tamura may have intended to target the NFL offices but mistook his elevator, ending on Rudin’s floor by mistake . In a suicide note, he blamed the NFL for his alleged brain injury and requested his brain be studied for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) .

Why This Tragedy Underlines the Urgent Need for Professional Security
1. On‑site security isn’t enough
Despite uniformed officers and private guards on duty, the attack still penetrated the lobby and reached upper floors. It underscores that traditional unarmed security alone cannot deter or stop an armed instigator.
2. High‑risk targets demand tailored protection
When executive leadership, corporate tenants, and high-profile firms operate in shared office space, risk exposure increases—as tragically demonstrated by the death of a Blackstone executive. Security assessments must anticipate potential threats to property and people.
3. Hostile entry can come unannounced
Tamura arrived from Las Vegas after a multi‑day cross‑country drive. He entered openly with weapons and body armor. Pre‑entry detection systems, including advanced screening, K‑9 units, and armed response teams, can help intercept such threats before violence occurs.
4. Executive protection is critical
In cases where individuals are considered high‑value or high‑risk—due to their position, visibility, or public profile—they may require executive protection details, including armed guards who can travel with them and secure their daily movements.

In Summary
The July 28 active‑shooter tragedy at 345 Park Avenue brutally reminds us that even high‑rise buildings in central Manhattan are not immune to targeted terror. Security failures can happen anywhere—and often when least expected. While unarmed guards and private officers embody dedication, they aren’t equipped to fully confront an armed, prepared assailant.
At Kings Secure, we provide multi‑layered protection options:
Armed security for buildings and facilities
Executive protection detail for individuals at heightened risk

When lives—especially those of executives, staff, families, or residents—are at stake, security isn’t optional. It’s essential.

24/7 Security Presence: The constant visibility and vigilance of a concierge or doorman create a powerful deterrent against intruders, theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access. With trained eyes on-site around the clock, potential threats can be identified and addressed immediately, minimizing risk to residents.
Access Control & Visitor Management: Controlling who enters and exits the building is a cornerstone of effective security. Concierge teams not only verify residents and guests but also manage deliveries and service appointments, ensuring that only authorized individuals gain entry and every visit is logged for accountability.
Personalized Service: Beyond security, concierge professionals elevate quality of life with services such as handling packages, coordinating transportation, and responding to resident needs or emergencies—a level of attention that traditional security guards rarely provide.
Integration With Advanced Technology: Modern concierge services use surveillance cameras, alarm systems, and digital visitor logs to enhance monitoring and response, combining personal diligence with state-of-the-art technological support.
Peace of Mind: Knowing that a trained and responsive professional is always prepared increases residents’ sense of comfort and trust in their building’s management.

What Sets Kings Security’s Concierges and Doormen Apart
Licensed Security Professionals: Kings Security’s concierges and doormen are not just hospitality staff — every member is a licensed security professional. This means each is trained in security protocols, emergency response, risk assessment, and conflict de-escalation, offering a level of preparedness well beyond typical front-desk attendants or unlicensed staff.
Non-Unionized Flexibility: Unlike many traditional security providers, Kings Security’s non-unionized workforce allows for increased flexibility in scheduling, rapid deployment, and on-site team customization. This ensures property managers receive a highly responsive and reliable security team tailored to their building’s unique needs.
A Distinct Competitive Edge: In a market where many residential buildings rely on unlicensed or minimally trained union staff, Kings Security provides a clear advantage. This means residents benefit from true security expertise at the front desk—staff who not only greet guests with professionalism but can also handle incidents, respond to emergencies, and work in seamless coordination with building management and local authorities.
Why This Difference Matters
Higher Standards and Accountability: Licensing guarantees a baseline of training, background screening, and ongoing education, ensuring all Kings Security staff meet strict regulatory and company standards. The result is a safer building and reduced liability for owners and managers.
Enhanced Resident Trust: Residents often interact with front-desk personnel daily; knowing these individuals are licensed security professionals builds trust, reassures families, and strengthens the community atmosphere.
Conclusion
Concierge and doormen security are more important than ever for modern residential living, serving as both the face and the shield of the building. Kings Security enhances this critical role through licensed, non-unionized security professionals—providing a unique combination of hospitality, vigilance, and true peace of mind for every resident.
When it comes to glamorous events like the 2025 Tony Awards, what happens behind the scenes is just as important as what happens on stage. Held this year at Radio City Music Hall, the Tony Awards bring together celebrities, industry executives, and Broadway fans from across the globe. While millions watch from home to admire the fashion, the performances, and the awards, a dedicated team works quietly and efficiently to ensure everything runs smoothly: the event security staff.

The Quiet Professionals Behind Every Successful Event
High-profile venues such as Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden require more than just ushers and red ropes. From managing crowd flow to coordinating with law enforcement, professional security plays a vital role in:
Controlling access to VIP areas and backstage
Screening guests and working alongside credentialing staff
Patrolling key areas for threats or suspicious behavior
Responding to medical incidents or emergencies
Monitoring live feeds from CCTV and AI surveillance systems
Ensuring quick coordination with first responders
In an age of heightened public awareness and evolving threats, these events demand a blend of customer service, discretion, and preparedness.

While official details of the Tony Awards’ private security operations remain confidential, events of this scale typically rely on a mix of:
Licensed unarmed and armed guards
Crowd control specialists
Plainclothes officers
Partnerships between venue security, NYPD, and private firms
Madison Square Garden, which oversees many of the city’s major venues, provides general event safety protocols and guest services such as lost item reporting, medical stations, and evacuation procedures.
The Tony Awards are produced by Tony Award Productions, a joint venture between The Broadway League and The American Theatre Wing—both known for putting on seamless, secure events thanks in part to the collaboration of top-tier private security partners.

In May 2021, a tragic incident unfolded in Portland, Oregon, when 49-year-old Freddy Nelson was fatally shot by private security guard Logan Gimbel in a Lowe’s parking lot. Gimbel, employed by Cornerstone Security Group, confronted Nelson over a dispute related to pallet collection—a practice Nelson had an agreement with Lowe’s to perform. The confrontation escalated rapidly: Gimbel pepper-sprayed Nelson and his wife, then fired four shots through their vehicle’s windshield, killing Nelson. Notably, Gimbel was not licensed to carry a firearm as a security guard at the time of the shooting. (KGW, https://www.kptv.com, opb)
Logan Gimbel, guard who fatally shot Freddy Nelson outside of Lowe’s.
In May 2023, Gimbel was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. A subsequent civil lawsuit filed by Nelson’s widow resulted in a $20 million jury award, holding Gimbel, Cornerstone Security Group, and property owner TMT Development accountable for negligence and recklessness. (KGW, KGW)
This case underscores the paramount importance of stringent licensing and training standards in the private security industry. Employing unlicensed armed guards not only violates legal requirements but also endangers public safety and exposes companies to significant legal liabilities.

When most people think of private investigators, they picture movie scenes, trench coats, and shadowy stakeouts. In reality, private investigations are a legitimate and essential service used by thousands of individuals and businesses each year to uncover the truth in sensitive situations. Whether it’s locating a missing person, confirming suspicions of infidelity, or investigating fraud, private investigators play a crucial role in helping people access information they might not otherwise obtain.
Private investigators often keep an eye from their car.
What Is a Private Investigator?
A private investigator (PI) is a licensed professional who is hired to gather information and conduct surveillance. Unlike law enforcement, PIs are privately contracted and typically work on civil matters, though their findings can sometimes be used in legal proceedings. Their work is legal, highly regulated, and often confidential.
Common types of investigations include:
Infidelity or domestic investigations
Background checks
Surveillance and monitoring
Missing persons
Insurance fraud investigations
Employee misconduct or business-related inquiries
Why People Hire Private Investigators
People turn to PIs when they need clarity or evidence in personal or professional matters. For example, a spouse who suspects infidelity may want proof before confronting their partner. A business owner may need to verify an employee’s injury claim. Or, a landlord might require a background check before renting to a new tenant.
At Kings Security Services Inc., based in the Bronx, NY, we’ve conducted hundreds of private investigations since our founding in 2007. Each case is handled with the utmost professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail. With a team of experienced investigators and access to advanced surveillance tools, we provide factual, actionable results for our clients.
The Process: What to Expect
When you hire a private investigator, the first step is a consultation. This is where you explain your situation, and the investigator determines whether your request is legal and feasible. After agreeing to terms, the PI may begin gathering evidence through surveillance, background research, interviews, or digital tools.
All findings are documented and, if requested, can be presented in written reports or photo/video evidence. In many cases, the information uncovered can be used in court or during legal negotiations.
The Rise of Social Media PIs
In recent years, the field of private investigation has become more visible to the public thanks to social media. For example, @YourFavInvestigator, a private investigator with over 680,000 followers on TikTok, has brought attention to the realities of PI work. Her content reveals how investigators work within the law to help clients uncover hidden truths, especially in infidelity cases.
These videos resonate because they’re real, relatable, comedic and show how much impact a skilled investigator can have on a person’s life. At Kings Security Services, we share the same commitment to uncovering the truth and helping our clients make informed decisions.
@YourFavInvestigator has a series of comedic videos where she takes viewers on her private investigation journeys to find cheating spouses.
Is Hiring a PI Right for You?
Private investigations aren’t just for dramatic TV plots—they’re a practical tool for anyone facing uncertainty. If you need discreet, professional help uncovering the truth, a licensed private investigator can provide clarity.
At Kings Security Services Inc., we offer confidential, no-obligation consultations to help you understand your options. Whether you’re dealing with a personal concern or a business matter, we’re here to help—ethically and effectively.
In the fast-paced, ever-changing landscape of security services, the importance of hiring experienced and trustworthy individuals cannot be overstated. At Kings Security Services Inc., we pride ourselves on providing top-tier security to New York City, and much of our success is attributed to the exceptional staff we employ. Among the most valuable members of our team are military veterans and retired police officers who have transitioned into security roles. These men and women bring a wealth of knowledge, discipline, and experience to the job, making them ideal candidates for security positions.

A Foundation of Discipline and Training
Military veterans and retired police officers share a common background rooted in intensive training and high standards of conduct. Their ability to stay calm under pressure, think critically in stressful situations, and follow orders with precision makes them highly effective in security roles. These professionals are not only trained to handle emergencies, but they also excel at risk assessment and decision-making, which are vital skills in the security industry.
For veterans, their military service has often included rigorous tactical training, leadership roles, and exposure to high-stress environments. These experiences help them remain composed and effective when facing unpredictable situations, which is a key quality in the security industry. Similarly, retired police officers bring a wealth of law enforcement experience and understanding of legal procedures, criminal behavior, and public safety protocols. Their ability to navigate complex scenarios makes them invaluable assets to any security team.
Many of our security guards have undergone tactical traning.
A Strong Sense of Duty and Responsibility
Both military veterans and retired police officers have dedicated their careers to serving and protecting others. This sense of duty does not disappear when they transition into civilian life; it becomes a defining part of who they are. Many veterans and retired officers are motivated by a deep desire to continue contributing to society, which is why many choose to pursue careers in the security industry after their service.
Their commitment to protecting people, property, and information is rooted in their past careers, and they bring that same sense of responsibility to the security industry. Whether providing unarmed or armed security, these professionals approach their work with a level of seriousness and dedication that is hard to match.
Expertise in Crisis Management and Conflict Resolution
Veterans and retired police officers are no strangers to managing crises. They are trained to assess dangerous situations, diffuse tension, and take the necessary steps to maintain peace. Whether it’s a high-stakes emergency or a routine security check, these professionals have the expertise to respond quickly and efficiently.
Their conflict resolution skills are especially valuable in preventing issues before they escalate. Having dealt with everything from crowd control to high-risk situations, they are experts at reading body language, understanding social dynamics, and de-escalating potential threats before they become serious problems.
Familiarity with Security Technology
In addition to their physical and mental training, many military veterans and retired police officers also have experience using cutting-edge security technologies. At Kings Security Services Inc., we provide surveillance camera installations with AI-powered monitoring systems, and our team is skilled in utilizing these advanced tools to maintain high security standards. Many veterans and retired officers are already familiar with modern technology and have experience working with various security systems, making them well-equipped to adapt to the evolving technological demands of the security industry.
This combination of traditional skills and modern technology ensures that these individuals are prepared to provide comprehensive security services for any situation. They are able to leverage both their training and the latest surveillance advancements to provide superior protection for our clients.
Building Strong Relationships with Clients
Security is not just about enforcing rules—it’s also about building trust. Veterans and retired police officers often excel in this area because of their history of working in the community and interacting with people from all walks of life. They understand the importance of clear communication and fostering a sense of safety, which helps clients feel secure and supported.
At Kings Security Services Inc., we understand the value of building relationships with our clients, and our team of veterans and retired officers plays a key role in achieving this. Their professionalism and personal integrity help ensure that every client feels valued and protected, whether it’s for a small business, a private residence, or a large corporate event.
The Value of Hiring Veterans and Retired Officers
When you hire military veterans and retired police officers, you are not just hiring individuals with extensive training and experience—you are investing in a team member who will bring commitment, discipline, and expertise to the job. At Kings Security Services Inc., we are proud to employ many veterans and retired officers who bring their service-oriented mindset and skill set to protect New York City. They are a core part of what makes our security services exceptional.

They continue to serve and protect their communities, providing an invaluable service as they transition into civilian careers.

In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, security is paramount. Terrorist threats, both domestic and international, are a real concern for public safety, businesses, and individuals alike. As the first line of defense against various security risks, including terrorism, security guards play a vital role in maintaining safety and preventing catastrophic events. From traditional roles such as surveillance and crowd control to more advanced technologies like AI-driven security systems, the role of security guards has evolved significantly in recent years.

1. Presence as a Deterrent
One of the primary functions of security guards is to act as a visible deterrent to potential threats. Terrorists, or individuals planning criminal activities, are less likely to target a location where they know security personnel are present. The mere sight of uniformed officers or guards patrolling an area can make terrorists reconsider their plans, thereby preventing attacks before they even start.
Security guards trained to spot unusual behaviors or suspicious activities can play a vital role in identifying potential terrorist threats early. Whether it’s noticing someone acting out of the ordinary or detecting signs of a concealed weapon, the presence of security personnel significantly enhances the safety of any facility or location.
2. Surveillance and Monitoring
Beyond their physical presence, security guards are often tasked with monitoring surveillance cameras and other security systems. This includes monitoring live video feeds, watching for any suspicious behavior, and responding to any alarms. In New York City, where Kings Security Services Inc. is a leading private security provider, AI-driven cameras add an extra layer of protection.
With cutting-edge technology like facial recognition, license plate detection, and gun detection, security guards can detect threats more effectively. These cameras can instantly alert guards if they spot a suspicious person or vehicle, enabling rapid responses. The AI technology ensures that nothing slips through the cracks, and even if guards are not on-site, remote monitoring systems can trigger immediate action.
For example, if a security camera identifies a vehicle with an expired license plate or detects a weapon, it can immediately alert the control room. Within minutes, a security team can be dispatched to the site, either by remote monitoring or by sending an armed guard. This capability ensures that threats are caught early, and timely intervention can prevent attacks from happening.
Kings Security Services has industry leading software to monitor all of our client’s sites.
3. Response to Active Threats
Security guards are trained to respond swiftly and effectively in the event of an active threat, such as a terrorist attack. In these high-pressure situations, their ability to assess the threat and take appropriate action can save lives. Whether it involves evacuating civilians, containing the situation, or directly confronting the attackers, security personnel are often the first responders on the scene.
For example, security guards at a building or event venue can control access points, perform security screenings, and ensure that all staff and visitors follow emergency procedures. In the case of a terrorist attempting to carry out an attack, security guards can help neutralize the threat, contain the situation, and prevent it from escalating further.
In many instances, security guards are working alongside law enforcement agencies, offering valuable information that could help prevent or stop an act of terrorism. Their presence and quick decision-making abilities are critical in managing immediate risks and maintaining order.
4. Training and Awareness
One of the most crucial aspects of a security guard’s ability to prevent terrorism is their training. Security personnel must be equipped with the skills and knowledge to identify signs of potential threats, including suspicious packages, unanticipated behavior, and the presence of dangerous items or explosives.
Additionally, advanced security companies like Kings Security Services Inc. provide continuous training in counter-terrorism, emergency procedures, and how to deal with specific threats like active shooters or bomb threats. In the current landscape, it is also essential for security guards to understand the latest security technologies, such as AI-driven surveillance systems and remote monitoring tools.
Security guards are often trained to recognize early warning signs of terrorism, which may include individuals displaying unusual behavior, avoiding identification checks, or acting in ways that do not align with normal patterns of activity. This vigilance can play a pivotal role in stopping terrorist activities before they escalate.
5. Collaboration with Local Authorities
Security guards often work in collaboration with local law enforcement and emergency services, providing vital information and assistance in cases of terrorism. By communicating effectively with authorities, security personnel can help coordinate responses to threats, ensuring that the proper resources are deployed quickly.
For instance, if a security guard notices a suspicious person or event, they can immediately notify local law enforcement, providing key details such as the location, description, and nature of the threat. This proactive communication ensures that authorities can act quickly, potentially stopping an attack in its tracks.
6. Long-Term Prevention
Beyond immediate threats, security guards also contribute to long-term terrorism prevention. By maintaining constant vigilance, conducting regular inspections, and fostering strong relationships with local communities, security personnel can help create an environment that is less conducive to terrorism. Over time, their efforts contribute to a culture of safety and awareness that can prevent extremist activities from taking root.
Moreover, security guards can play an important role in preventing radicalization by maintaining a visible presence in vulnerable communities, monitoring local behavior, and even serving as an accessible resource for individuals seeking help or information.
Conclusion
In today’s world, security guards play an essential role in preventing terrorism, offering both a physical presence and technological advantages that enhance safety. Whether through traditional duties like patrolling and monitoring, or through advanced AI-driven security systems, security personnel are often the first responders who help identify, deter, and respond to threats before they can escalate.
As terrorism continues to evolve, so too does the role of security guards. With continuous training, cutting-edge technology, and collaboration with local authorities, security personnel are more equipped than ever to ensure the safety and protection of the public. Their vigilance, swift actions, and dedication are crucial in the ongoing fight against terrorism, ensuring that our communities remain secure.
In a world where safety and security are paramount, physical security is one of the most critical components of safeguarding property, assets, and people. Whether you’re managing a business, overseeing a construction site, or ensuring the safety of a residential property, physical security is designed to protect everything from the building structure to its inhabitants.
At Kings Security Services Inc., we understand that comprehensive physical security is more than just locking doors or installing a few cameras. It’s about creating a robust, multi-layered system that prevents unauthorized access, detects potential threats, and responds quickly and effectively to security breaches. Here’s a breakdown of what physical security is, how it works, and how Kings Security Services can provide tailored security solutions to meet all of your needs.
What is Physical Security?
Physical security refers to the measures taken to protect physical assets, including buildings, facilities, equipment, and people, from theft, vandalism, natural disasters, or other potential threats. Unlike cybersecurity, which deals with digital data protection, physical security is all about defending tangible resources. It can include things like:
Surveillance systems: Cameras and sensors that monitor activity in and around a property.
Security camera installed at a construction site.
Access control: Systems that limit or control who can enter specific areas of a building or facility.
Access control for commercial properties with card reader.
Physical barriers: Fencing, gates, walls, and locks that deter or prevent unauthorized access.
Security personnel: Trained guards who patrol, monitor, and respond to security incidents in real-time.
Security guard working with a large crowd.
Fire and life safety: Measures like fire alarms, extinguishers, and fire guards to protect lives and property.
How Physical Security Works
Physical security is about creating a strong defense against threats while also being prepared for rapid responses in case of an emergency. To achieve this, a multi-layered approach is essential, incorporating technology, human resources, and strategic planning. Here’s how it works:
Prevention: The first line of defense involves deterring potential threats before they have the chance to escalate. This includes visible security measures like cameras, fencing, and lighting. Deterring trespassers, thieves, or vandals is essential in preventing damage or loss.
Detection: In the event of suspicious activity or an actual security breach, detection systems come into play. These include surveillance cameras with real-time monitoring, motion detectors, and other sensors that can trigger alarms or notifications to alert security teams.
Response: Once a threat is detected, it’s crucial to respond immediately to neutralize the threat and minimize any potential damage. This could involve dispatching security personnel to the site, notifying local law enforcement, or activating a lockdown procedure. With remote monitoring, these actions can happen in real-time, ensuring a rapid response.
Recovery: In case of a security breach, recovery protocols ensure that operations resume smoothly, and any damage or loss is minimized. This may involve securing the premises, assessing any damage, and implementing corrective measures to prevent future incidents.
