Our head security oversees the security for a venue and supervises other security staff. The head security has many years of experience and good conflict resolution skills. Our security primary function is to organize and support security personnel and ensure the maximum level of safety for his/her staff and customers.
Our primary task is to keep underage, intoxicated, aggressive, and/or otherwise disqualified individuals from entering an establishment. In some clubs, we use metal detectors and frisking to prevent patrons from bringing potentially dangerous and illegal items, such as drugs and weapons, into the venue. Our secondary role often includes the monitoring of behavior of patrons to ensure that the establishment's rules and alcohol regulations are adhered to. We also ensure that patrons do not damage the bar or venue's property and furnishings. Also, we must generally resolve conflict within the establishment, which may involve verbal warnings to rule-breakers, physically separating individuals and groups, or ensuring that troublemakers (i.e., those who become too disorderly, intoxicated, or argumentative) leave the venue. We may also escort employees to and from the venue, and in rare cases may act as bodyguards for VIP’s, celebrities, or management within the venue. In addition, we have female security staff, searching both female/male patrons for drugs or weapons.
