The management at DSI is aware of the unique issues that can arise in transitioning from one security provider to another. DSI has the resources and experienced management to oversee an efficient transition without gaps in coverage and with the promise of an effective, well-trained staff of officers. With the implementation of well-tested and proven transition procedures, and anticipating as many scenarios as possible, DSI is effective in providing the client a smooth transition.

The DSI transition team consists of the following:

*Regional Manager

*Client Representative

*Operations Manager

*Field Supervisors

*Security Officers

The regional manager in charge of transition works closely with the client to maintain a coordinated change over. Other DSI personnel are involved in the recruiting, hiring, background checks, and training, and transition begins as soon as the contract is awarded. As a rule, DSI requests a four week lead time for transition but management is aware that is not always an option for the client. The requirement for a faster transition of service can possibly incur overtime and other “emergency” expenses to the client but DSI always makes the effort to keep this extra expense to the client to a minimum.
