Alcohol Policy, Operating Procedures, and Alcohol Service
Alcohol Policy and Operating Procedures exist to mitigate intoxication and promote responsible alcohol service. Defending alcohol policies and operating procedures requires demonstrating complaints. The Dram Shop Experts have built a strong reputation for responsible alcohol service throughout the nightclub and bar industry. Our team determines the adequacy of alcohol policies and evaluates the existence of operating procedures.
Security Training, Assault, Personal Injury, and Security Use of Force
Security training and how security personnel use force are critical concerns for every sector of the U.S. hospitality industry. Each state closely regulates how bar security can use force, specifically defining “excessive force” and guidelines for when security can physically intervene with patrons. Some states have detailed laws outlining the permissible amount of force in subduing a customer, while others provide less specific guidance. However, one rule remains universal: bar security commits a crime when they use excessive force, regardless of the state’s specific regulations. This emphasis on accountability underscores the importance of comprehensive security training that prioritizes de-escalation tactics and responsible use of force.
