With the uncertainty of an unstable Middle East and North African region and increasing insecurity for foreign companies or individuals and their assets, it is imperative that corporations working in these high risk areas have adequate risk protection in the form of an Operations Liaison Co-ordinator (OLC) attached to the company at their various sites.

In various situations in hostile countries the OLC role has been an extremely important asset to any company during any civil unrest / political riots etc, by maintaining safety to the client’s employees, and by taking control of the Emergency Response Team while assisting senior management in assuring that stability of the work place is secure and all other satellite sites and compounds have been shut down accordingly.

DTS Services have trained British Ex-Military consultants that can fulfil the OLC position, having vast experience of this role in many hostile countries, to provide clients with co-ordinators to manage the protection of their employees, sites and offices. To liaise with local law enforcement agencies and act as a buffer zone between them and the contractors.

During the first few weeks of the civil war in Libya, DTS Services jointly co-ordinated the evacuation and safety of more than 200 people by plane, boat or car both from Tripoli and desert areas.
