Clear answers about private security in the Dominican Republic.

In the Dominican Republic, a private security agency that operates with firearms requires authorization from the Superintendencia de Vigilancia y Seguridad Privada (SVSP) under the Armed modality. GDS operates under SVSP license CA-101, granted by Resolution 052-2025 and valid through November 4, 2030.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
