Liaising with police, emergency services and local authorities

A Professional Welcome at the Door

Your door supervisors are often the first members of staff customers meet. Their appearance, attitude and communication can directly affect how people view your venue.

Our personnel are selected for their professionalism, confidence, communication skills and ability to remain calm under pressure. They provide a firm but approachable presence and treat customers with dignity and respect.

We aim to prevent conflict through early intervention, clear communication and effective de-escalation wherever possible.

Supported by Our 24/7 Control Room

Our door supervisors can remain in communication with our dedicated 24-hour control room through our in-house radio communications system.

This provides additional operational support throughout the shift and allows incidents, emergencies or requests for assistance to be escalated quickly.

Where required, officers may also be equipped with body-worn cameras to provide additional protection, accountability and evidential support. Body-worn video is used in accordance with company procedures and applicable data protection requirements.

Incident Prevention and Conflict Management

The most effective security teams identify concerns before they develop into serious incidents.

Our door supervisors remain alert to potential risks, including intoxication, aggressive behaviour, prohibited items, drug-related activity, overcrowding, safeguarding concerns and disputes between customers.

When intervention is required, our personnel use professional communication and recognised conflict-management techniques. Physical intervention is treated as a last resort and must always be lawful, necessary, reasonable and proportionate.

Safeguarding and Customer Welfare

Customer welfare is an essential part of modern door supervision.

Our personnel remain alert to vulnerable individuals, suspected drink spiking, harassment, domestic abuse, exploitation and people who may be unable to care for themselves.

Where concerns are identified, our team can work with venue management, friends, family members, taxi providers, police or emergency services to help protect the individual.
