What are the benefits of utilizing KDS?

The benefits of a governmental entity contracting with KDS include, but are not limited to the following:

• no or limited capital expenditure for construction
• a facility designed to meet the specific needs for the detention of juvenile offenders
• faster, if not immediate, availability to facilitate the detention needs of government
• high operational standards
• economic benefits to community and savings to government utilizing facility.

How do KDS facilities operate more cost effectively?

The two primary ways that KDS saves governmental entities money are:

• Utilizing existing structures, when possible, and re-designing them so they efficiently house all operational areas in one facility, thus saving space and ensuring security.
• Having the freedom to operate without restrictive governmental purchasing regulations. KDS facility administrators shop for the best values, most often found within the local community, the same place from which they recruit and hire staff.
