Train with retired NYC police officers — in person or 100% online from the Bronx.
From Mott Haven to Co-op City, Bronx residents train with Star Security because the credentials pay off borough-wide — and because we make it easy. In-person NYS license classes run six days a week at our Brooklyn campus, and our FDNY fire guard exam prep (F-01, F-02, F-03, F-04) is completely online — study on your phone from anywhere in the Bronx for $35 a course. We accept NYC HRA training vouchers.
Option 1: take the 4 or 5 to Crown Heights–Utica Avenue, then the B46 bus up Utica to Fulton Street — it stops at our corner.
Option 2: take the D to 145th Street and transfer to the A train straight to Utica Avenue in Brooklyn.
Either way, plan roughly an hour — then one day of class gets your 8-Hour certificate.
Bronx employers hiring licensed guards include Yankee Stadium event staffing, Montefiore and BronxCare hospital systems, Bay Plaza Shopping Center, residential management companies across Grand Concourse and Co-op City, and the borough’s many shelters — where the FDNY F-02 Fire Guard for Shelters certificate we prep you for is often required.
