It is a sad fact of life that happy go lucky nights on the town can turn out to be rather less than enjoyable after a mix of too much alcohol and (usually) male bravado take affect. Whilst this unfortunate combination doesn't look like it is going away any time soon, at least those responsible for overseeing and preventing trouble are getting better all the time.
It was not that long ago that "bouncers" stood outside a club or pub and looked and acted more like hired thugs than security professionals. It was little wonder though that this was the status quo for so long considering the poor behaviour off far too many patrons. If a bouncer wasn't prepared to resort to physical force to protect himself and remove unwanted characters, there was little to stop unruly behaviour escalating into something far more than a fist fight on a dance floor.
Fortunately, great steps are have been taken to ensure that trouble in nightspots across the UK is reduced, not through force but by increasingly developing the professionalism of the doorman which are the first line of defence against trouble.
By regulating who is able to become a door supervisor, the UK government is raising standards by huge margins compared to the "wild west" of previous years. Those responsible for the security of nightclubs, bars and other similar venues are trained, examined and licensed to ensure high quality. Doorman under the current legislation, are the more professional and better prepared than ever before.
This means that they are able to spot and deal with trouble before it ever gets chance to escalate into a situation where the public and their co-workers are in danger. More often than not, this is simply being more aware of those persons who should not be allowed into the venue in the first place. Drunken patrons are invariably turned away before they are allowed to enter the venue. And anyone already inside is encouraged to leave quietly if they are deemed unfit.
Of course, no system is perfect and violence is always a possibility. But with improved awareness and teamwork which is a result of the training, situations can be dealt with quickly, effectively and without harm to staff or the individuals causing the trouble in the first place. In today's litigious society, it is important to be seen as firm but fair - running in with fists blazing is simply unacceptable.
The other major shift which has been seen in the industry is the introduction and acceptance of more and more female door supervisors. Because the role has moved away from being a physical deterrent to one of persuasion and control, female staffs have become incredibly popular and woman that enter the profession are usually in high demand.
