BKS Security
Nationwide Security Services
Most security work does not arrive labelled. A contractor knocks out a sprinkler line and the fire marshal wants a fire watch by tonight. A termination is scheduled for Friday. An alarm keeps tripping at 3am and somebody has to go look. This page is the full list of what BKS Security covers beyond the headline services.
One Call, Whatever the Site Needs
The advantage of a single provider is not the discount. It is that the people covering your termination on Friday already know your building from the lobby post, and the patrol officer who finds the broken gate at 2am already knows who to call. Fragmenting security across four vendors means nobody holds the whole picture — and the whole picture is the job.

Four Services Worth Explaining
Fire Watch
When a fire alarm or sprinkler system is out of service, the fire code generally requires trained personnel to patrol the building on a set interval and keep a written log until the system is restored. It is usually needed at short notice, it is usually needed overnight, and the log is what the authority having jurisdiction asks to see. Tell us the impairment and the interval your fire marshal specified.
Termination Standby
An officer present for a difficult exit — discreet, briefed in advance, positioned where HR wants them rather than looming in the room. The goal is that nothing happens and nobody remembers they were there. This works best when we are told the day before, not the hour before.
Alarm Response
Somebody has to drive out at 3am and find out whether it was a door seal, the wind, or something real. Using a response team instead of your own staff keeps managers out of dark buildings, and creates a written record of every activation — which is often what finally gets a faulty sensor fixed.
Courtesy Patrol
For apartments and HOAs, this is the softer end of the work — visible presence, noise and pool-hours enforcement, checking that gates and doors are secure, and being a known face rather than an escalation. Frequently paired with parking enforcement on the same rounds.
