Access Control as Infrastructure: Albany Emergency Locksmith LLC Launches Advanced Security Division to Confront Modern Threats

Watervliet, NY – As incidents of mass shootings, political violence, and targeted attacks continue to rise across the country, Albany Emergency Locksmith LLC, also known as The City Locksmith of Watervliet, is launching a dedicated security and forensic division to support state, local, and federal law enforcement while protecting schools, churches, and public spaces from organized threats.

Under the leadership of owner Zack Ali, the company is redefining how access control, surveillance, and forensic locksmithing can serve as a front-line defense in a new era of public safety risk.

“Today, access control isn’t just about locks and keys—it’s about protecting lives,” said Zack Ali. “Our mission is to help identify, stop, and prevent threats before they happen.”

Albany Emergency Locksmith LLC is investing $250,000 of its own funds into cutting-edge technology, personnel, and training to provide:

• Access Control Systems: Secure, customizable lockdowns for schools, government buildings, and houses of worship.

The company provides both proactive and reactive support for:

• School lockdown systems
