Bouncer Equipment
Accessories
Accessories or gear are
items that will protect and help you perform your job a lot easier. They should not be used
to intimidate anyone or used as weapons to injure anyone. As a Bouncer you are not
required to carry a firearm, mace, pepper spray, knife, baton or any other
weapons as such. The use and carrying of these items require approvals from
different entities such as the owner of the club, the club owner's insurance
company and possibly the city in which the club is located. You will also be
required to carry on your person a valid State Permit for each item that you
have.
The items listed below
require no approvals or permits as a Bouncer:
-
Flashlight
|
Always
carry a small flashlight, but one that is no bigger than your hand. It
should be able to produce at lease a 6,500 peak-beam candlepower. Whether
you’re inside or outside the club a light this powerful gets the patrons
attention.
Note:
Flashlights that use lithium batteries can not be used for a long period of
time. For example, if a situation requires you to use your flashlight most
of the time during a single work shift, chances are the next time you work
the batteries will die. These types of batteries only have about 10–15
hours worth of life to them.

Watch
|
For obvious reasons,
having a watch just makes sense. Use of your watch will help you keep track
or the time while you are working. Patrons may also ask you for the time.
|
-
Hand-cuffs with key
|
Handcuffs are not
required by clubs and their owners frown upon them. Mainly because they are
not used properly or they are used when they should not be used. As a
security person you should know how and when to use them. You can do this
by taking the Powers-to-Arrest exam and obtain training on how to apply
them.
|
-
2-Way Radio
|
Should be provided by
the club. Should be small and of good quality.
