DSI Security Services, one of the nation’s leading providers of security solutions, is proud to announce a strategic reorganization of its executive leadership team, reinforcing its commitment to delivering stability, innovation, and exceptional service to its customers.

Deavours Clark has been appointed as the new President of DSI Security Services, bringing a wealth of experience and a vision for growth and operational excellence. Eddie Sorrells will step into the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) role, continuing to lead DSI with a focus on innovation and the company’s mission of providing best-in-class security services. Marty Clark will assume the position of Chairwoman of the Board, providing strategic oversight and guidance, while Alan Clark takes on the role of Vice Chairman of the Board.

In addition to these key appointments, DSI is excited to announce Jamie Ridenhour as Vice President of the East Division and Kim Henry as Vice President of the West Division. These leaders bring extensive expertise and a deep understanding of DSI’s operations and customer-focused approach.

“Jamie and Kim have each played an integral role in DSI’s operational growth and client success over the years,” said Gene Sanders, Chief Operating Officer of DSI Security Services. “Jamie’s strategic thinking and deep connection to our field operations make him an outstanding leader for the East Division. Kim’s operational discipline and proven ability to develop teams are exactly what we need to lead the West. Their well-earned promotions reflect our belief in promoting from within and building a strong, experienced leadership bench.”

This reorganization builds on DSI’s foundation of more than 150 years of in-house experience. While DSI is equipped to deliver the latest innovative technologies, highly trained and rigorously screened personnel, and comprehensive consulting services, the company believes that true value lies in its stability and the strength of its leadership. DSI has cultivated an unparalleled executive, regional, and local management team. With over 150 years of combined experience in the security sector, specifically with DSI Security Services, this knowledge and dedication is unmatched among privately owned and managed security service firms.

“Stability and experience are the cornerstones of our success,” said Deavours Clark, President of DSI Security Services. “As we continue to grow and evolve, our leadership team remains focused on delivering exceptional service while staying true to the values that have guided us for decades. Our ability to innovate while maintaining deep-rooted stability sets us apart.”
