ROOM N101
Minimizing Violence and Liabilities; Changing Standard Procedure
Robert Smith, CEO and President, Nightclub Security Consultants
One of the most dangerous jobs in the country is that of an In House Security Guard, Floor Host or “Bouncer”. Search the Internet and you’ll see that on nearly a weekly basis, a club or bar security guard in the United States has been assaulted or even worse, killed. To compound the problem, most operators, managers and guards don’t know how or why they need to handle assaultive behavior by guests differently than has been done in years past.
Attend this stimulating and essential 3-hour pre-conference session, and cover dozens of important points that you can put into effect immediately. This session will present a comprehensive look at what is a “LEGAL” use of force, the law enforcement view to using force and the extremely costly issue of civil liability and force. Operators should not miss this session.
