Most establishments that hire bouncers will require the
bouncers to attend some kind of training either in-house or provided by
an outside security training organization. Training may include legal
issues and laws concerning use of physical force, alcohol, under-aged
patrons and proper criminal procedures in working with law enforcement.
Training also may encompass acceptable combat and self-defense moves for
a bouncer in addition to sensitivity training to ensure bouncers are
not overly aggressive in the course of the job. Required training
regulations may differ according to the state. In California for
example, regulations stipulate that a bouncer should attend the Skills
Training Course for Security Guards in order to receive a security
license.
A successful bouncer must possess certain personality traits
and people skills to maintain order and enforce rules and regulations.
He must have an ability to confront offenders in a manner that conveys
authority but without further provoking or antagonizing any individual
or group. An overly aggressive demeanor can exacerbate a difficult
situation, so a bouncer must possess or learn to develop the skills
needed to diffuse tension.
