Security Training for Nightlife Employees
The Seattle Police Department offers a Security Training Program with classes open to the public several times a year. These classes are not just for security personnel. Security training is imperative for individuals who work physical security or screen patrons at the door. It is also extremely beneficial to any employee who regularly interacts with your clientele. Maintaining a highly-trained staff, ready to deal with difficult situations, is vital to the safety of both your patrons and your employees. We hope you will take advantage of this important opportunity.
Topics of instruction include:
Starting your shift - including proper equipment and pre-shift checks
Screening patrons - maintaining line queues, checking ID, dress code enforcement, weapon checks, etc.
Maintaining a safe environment - interior patrol tactics, stopping problems before they start
Handling problem situations - understanding appropriate use of force, de-escalating situations, calling 9-1-1, report writing
Rolling/Soft closes - shutting down and dispersing patrons
2011 Scheduled Classes: February 27, March 20, June 12, August 21, and October 16. $50 fee required.
