GDS operates under SVSP license CA-101, granted by Resolution 052-2025 and valid through November 4, 2030. ### 2. Is GDS authorized to legally carry and operate firearms? Yes. GDS is fully authorized to carry and operate firearms within Dominican territory under SVSP license CA-101, Armed modality. All armed personnel are accredited by the SVSP and operate under auditable internal protocols. ### 3. Which cities does GDS operate in? GDS provides nationwide coverage in the Dominican Republic, with intensive operations in Santo Domingo (headquarters and command center), Punta Cana (resorts and private aviation), Santiago (industry, retail and free zones) and Puerto Plata (northern tourism and port operations). ### 4. Which sectors does GDS cover? GDS covers five-star hospitality and resorts, banking and corporate, industrial and energy, retail and logistics, private aviation and maritime, high-net-worth residential and family offices, as well as government and diplomatic delegations. ### 5. Does GDS have a 24/7 command center? Yes. GDS runs an in-house command center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with live monitoring, real-time geolocation of field teams and permanent liaison with authorities. It is the operational core of every service the agency delivers. ### 6. How many years of experience does GDS have? GDS has more than 15 years of continuous operation in elite private security in the Dominican Republic, with sustained presence in hospitality, banking, private aviation and high-net-worth residential. ### 7. What sets GDS apart from other security agencies in the DR? GDS combines an SVSP CA-101 armed license, in-house academy and shooting range, an operational K9 unit, a protection fleet with advanced driving and a 24/7 command center. It is an independent agency, not a staffing broker: field operators, training and supervision are all in-house. ### 8. Does GDS serve banks, hotels, private aviation and residences? Yes. GDS designs tailored security programs for banking and data centers, five-star hotel chains, private aviation operators (FBOs, jets), yachts and port operations, as well as villas, residences and family offices, always under a strict discretion policy. ### 9. How do I request a security assessment from GDS? You can reach GDS through the website form (gdsglobalsecurity.com/en/contacto), via WhatsApp at +1 829 962 6655 or by email at ops@gdsglobalsecurity.com. An officer reviews every request and replies within 24 business hours from the command center in Santo Domingo. ### 10. Does GDS publish the names of its clients? Only those that expressly authorize it in writing, currently Globalia and Hyatt. The rest remain anonymized under a discretion policy and are referenced by sector, for example a five-star hotel in Punta Cana or a financial institution. Named references are provided under NDA during the commercial process. ### 11. Does GDS belong to Globalia or to any hotel group? No. Global Dynamic Security Group, SRL is an independent Dominican company, with tax ID RNC 130571262 and its own SVSP CA-101 license. Globalia and Hyatt are clients that hire and recommend its services, not parent or owner companies. GDS serves several groups at once precisely because it is an independent provider. ### 12. Which capabilities does GDS own and which does it subcontract? GDS operates its own training academy (180-hour core program), its own shooting range, a detection K9 unit, a protection fleet with armored configurations, protection driving and a 24/7 command center. Helicopter air support is coordinated with certified operators, since it requires a specific aviation license. ### 13. Does GDS have a K9 unit and what is it used for? Yes. GDS maintains canine teams in handler and dog pairs for explosive and narcotic detection, deterrent patrolling and perimeter security reinforcement. They are deployed mainly at hotels, events, private aviation and corporate sites where access control needs a detection layer a camera cannot provide. ### 14. Does GDS offer aerial surveillance with drones? Yes. GDS operates drones with thermal camera and night vision, flown by certified pilots, for wide perimeters, events and residences. It is the usual option when the area to cover would otherwise require too many officers on foot, or when the perimeter lacks sufficient lighting. ### 15. How much does it cost to hire private security with GDS? GDS does not publish catalog pricing. Cost depends on the specific deployment: number of officers, shifts, whether the service is armed or unarmed, vehicles, K9, technology and the risk level of the location. A firm proposal is issued after a prior risk assessment, which carries no cost and no commitment. ### 16. How long does GDS take to deploy a service? The first step is the risk assessment, and GDS replies to web requests within 24 business hours. Deployment lead time depends on the size of the detail and the profiles required, and is set in writing in the proposal before signing, not afterwards. ### 17. Is GDS personnel accredited and trained? Yes. All armed personnel are accredited with the Superintendency of Private Surveillance and Security (SVSP) and operate under auditable internal protocols. Training is delivered at the in-house GDS academy, with a 180-hour core program plus tactical refresh and ongoing certification at its own shooting range. ### 18. Does GDS operate in English? Yes. GDS operates in Spanish and English, both at the command center and in day-to-day work with international clients: resorts, private aviation, diplomatic delegations and foreign family offices. This site is published in full in both languages. ### 19. Which body regulates private security in the Dominican Republic? The Superintendency of Private Surveillance and Security (SVSP), created by Decree 1128-03 and reporting to the Ministry of Defense, authorizes, categorizes and supervises companies in the sector. The carrying and use of firearms is additionally governed by Law 631-16. GDS operates under that framework with license CA-101 in the Armed modality. ### 20. How long is the GDS license valid and how can it be verified? The GDS SVSP CA-101 license was granted by Resolution 052-2025 and is valid through November 4, 2030. It is a mandatory operating license, not a voluntary quality seal, and both its number and validity can be verified with the SVSP itself. ### 21. Does GDS cover events, weddings and tours? Yes. GDS covers events, weddings, concerts and private tours with route advance, perimeter control, escort and authority liaison. For events with high-profile guests it is combined with the VIP executive protection line and, when the venue requires it, with the detection K9 unit. ### 22. How does GDS handle client confidentiality? Private security contracts include confidentiality clauses, so GDS only publishes the names of clients that expressly authorize it, currently Globalia and Hyatt. The rest are referenced by sector, and cases are published in anonymized form. Named references are provided directly to the prospective client that requests them. ### 23. How can I get a job at GDS? GDS hires security officers, close protection escorts, K9 handlers, command center operators and supervisors in the Dominican Republic. Applications are submitted with a CV from the careers page of this site, and training is completed at the in-house academy with SVSP accreditation for armed personnel. ## How to hire 1.
