New York City business associations have hired additional security guards this summer in the midst ofThree business-improvement districts in Manhattan and a neighborhood group in Queens said they have added private guards to patrol streets and public spaces.
Officials from the business groups said the additional guards, who are usually unarmed and report issues to police, are crucial as businesses reopen and more workers return to offices in Manhattan. The guards help visitors and workers feel more confident in their safety, the officials said. “Companies are trying to come back to work, and they’re faced with a situation that is not really inviting,” said Gerald Scupp, vice president of the Garment District Alliance, which hired 12 additional security workers to guard streets in the Manhattan neighborhood.
Mr. Scupp, whose group represents 575 property owners and more than 6,500 businesses, said an increase in quality-of-life issues, such as public urination and the use of intravenous drugs, had a negative impact on foot traffic and outdoor dining.
