Being a better door supervisor (part three)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors 
You should be well aware of the type of crowd you are dealing with, and the differences in crowd on a nightly basis. More generally, has there been an influx of a certain type of group – say drunken lads watching the football, or a stag party. A hen night can be equally as boisterous at times.



Be careful not to prejudice unfairly, however you need to be aware of how the crowd is behaving. Preventing any issues before they occur is always the best policy.

Being a better door supervisor (part two)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017 In : Door Supervisors

You should also know how busy the...

We’ve all done it—worked into the late hours of the morning only to realise that we’re now alone, the staff car park is deserted, and no one knows where we are. Working late and on weekends is often a necessary evil, but it’s important to take precautions to avoid safety issues when you do have to burn the midnight oil.

What to do if a dog attacks you

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Tuesday, September 26, 2017 In : Personal Security 
Even though dog bites are relatively common, full-blown attacks are not. It is important to know what to do in the unlikely event an attack happens.

Catch your bus or train from somewhere well lit

Thieves are far less likely to strike in well lit areas so try to make sure that you catch yo...
