| The Increase of
Regulating and Required Training for Bouncers |
|
|
 |
 Where
did we go wrong? Since 2003 BouncerOnline has been the only
complete go to website offering you the procedures to do it
right. But a hand full of you show Government officials that
we need to be looked after and carry a license in order for
us to do our job. Actually, this is nothing new. Bouncers in
some countries have been required be licensed for several
years now. But there has been increasing pressure here in
the US of A for the Government to be more aggressive in
passing the same laws. Already there are less than a hand
full of states requiring nightclub security personnel to
take the state certified security guard test, which only
provides you with the basic security procedures. These
procedures are merely just the foundation of what nightclub
security really is. The responsibilities of a Bouncer go far
beyond than just to observe and report.

What
usually comes to people's mind when they hear the word
"Bouncer" is the imagination of a big burly guy. In today's
nightclub security, this is not always the reality. In fact,
that image is dwindling everyday. For the most part, the
bigger type seem to be too intimidating usually leaving the
patron's entering the venue with the felling that the club
might have problems more often than the normal. They also
have become a fighting challenge for the over
intoxicated patron who feels that he can take on the world.
With their good intentions, club owners are notorious for
hiring Bouncers who look intimidating and can handle
themselves physically. While intimidating patrons to follow
the rules of the club may still work, it has become a risk
for liabilities.
Employees
of nightclubs are scheduled based on the draw of patrons
mainly by the band or DJ for the night. This can also be
said for the type of events a club may self-promote such
as a sports event or theme event being St. Patrick's
Day, Cinco de Mayo or a New Year's Eve party. Even then
it's still a wonder if it will be a successful and
profitable night. If not, the owner or general manager
may decide to send their employee's home due to a slow
night. Waitresses are usually the first to volunteer to
go home due to the fact that if there are not patrons
there are no tips to be had. However, Bouncers are
usually paid more by the hour then any other
non-management employee in the club. So guess who will
be asked to clock out next if not before the waitresses?
