Prepared: January 01, 2009 HISTORY / OVERVIEW:Detention Device Systems has over thirty five years of design and manufacturing experience in the highly specialized field of Detention Equipment Metal Fabrications. Since the company's inception, the primary product line has been sliding door locking devices, tool resisting grillwork, and related steel furnishings for the correctional construction market. While the financial nucleus of the company continues to be the manufacturing operation, the growth into the services which relate to the installation and field support of manufactured goods has been providing significant revenues in recent years.. MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY:From 1974 until 1985, DDS fabricated sliding door devices exclusively for Universal Security Products of Hayward, California. While Universal is still one of our customers, the company has been marketing the product line under the DDS trade name for over thirty years. The current product line for equipment which is designed and manufactured by the company includes: Stainless Steel Specialties SERVICES:DDS Construction Services is a division of Detention Device Systems. The company is a licensed Specialty Contractor in California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington and is processing applications for licensing in all the states which require licensing for their Detention Equipment contracting specialty. In the Western states, DDS Construction Services packages all of the equipment which is typically specified in Section 11190 to submit competitive bids on the material and installation of the specialized security products. The company is a factory authorized installer and warrantor of the major Detention Hardware manufacturers' products. A partial listing of our completed projects and references is in the lower section of this resume. DDS is also a licensed low and high voltage Electrical Contractor in California, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington and is processing applications for licensing in all the states which require licensing. On projects where the SECURITY ELECTRONICS are a part of the Section 11190 work, the company acquires the component package from an approved integrator to bid the entire detention section as a single source supplier / erector. This concept provides the architects with continuity of responsibility through the submittal phase. The tried and proven concept also provides a smoother job for General Contractors and the best warranty service for the end user.

All stations are Pentium Pro III Computers operating AutoCAD Release 13 programs. The Engineering production activity serves all divisions of Detention Device Systems.
