    Male DS and female punters

    I've been working the doors for about a year now and something I'm still not entirely sure on is ejecting females from the venue. Fortunately, every now and then we have a female staff who I radio for assistance to handle the situation and I guide them outside ensuring nothing goes south...

    Correct Self Defense [Video]

    Ok, that's pretty cool, thanks for the feedback. What about in terms of the law? If you were to start throwing punches/kicks/elbows etc in that scenario (only to protect yourself when they came into your 'box' or another colleagues) could you be looking at prosecution or any further issues...

    Correct Self Defense [Video]

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_5de1cDPbg Please check the video above. It shows doormen doing their best to handle a situation even after it has turned very sour. I'm still new to the industry so scenarios like this I'm curious to find out about and how often they occur. For that to...

    Interviews - Terms and Tips (Door Supervisor)

    Hi all, I've used the search feature of the site so I've found tips regarding members previous interviews and what to do, however I couldn't find information on the terminology and what it means. E.g. If a contractor states that all work is self employed, does this mean that I have to...

    Attack in Woolwich

    Such a sad story, my condolences to the family and friends. I understand that people can be afraid but too many times have I witnessed people doing nothing to help in times of need. I myself could have been helped in a violent attack but was left to fend for myself. When will this change? When...

    Haha I read that post OJ, well played! I do understand all your points though. However (only speaking for myself), I don't need to be spoon-fed, I'm a fast learner so in terms of someone having to monitor my every move it wouldn't need to happen. I would just like to hear the teams...

    Lanyard vs Armband (and colours)

    Just a few random questions, I also trying to see who the regular posters are etc.. My first decision upon receiving my DS license was to order an armband. I can't even remember what the lanyard looks like if I'm honest but straight away I thought about previous training and how we must use...

    SIA Application Processing Time

    Like Sworks mine took around 10 days, however I didn't apply oversees. None the less I wouldn't be too concerned. Set a reasonable date in your head and if you still hear nothing try contacting them! All the best!

    Newcomers to DS

    I understand, it makes a lot of sense when you put it like that. I guess it's ambitious to be expected to be treated the same from the offset. I also see how I could become liability when it comes to shadowing - I thought perhaps standby/observation with a radio so you can hear communications...

    Newcomers to DS

    Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me, I understand that's a fair point as to why the current situation is as it is. How would suggest I increase my chances of being employed with such competition? I've started networking via mouth but it seems a little hard to break into the...

    SIA Application

    I personally cannot see why you wont be granted the license.. As said above though, just because you have the license, doesn't mean you'll get the work!

    Newcomers to DS

    Hi all, I'm new to the industry but find it very interesting and have done my best to research and do extensive reading on security topics/theory and so forth. As I stated I'm new to the industry so I have no experience but it seems those who have been in the industry longer look down upon...
