Being a better door supervisor (part four)

Posted by Spartan 24 Hour Security on Friday, October 13, 2017, In : Door Supervisors

A doorman will very often have only a few seconds to weigh up a situation before they need to react in some way. Reacting in the correct way is obviously fundamental to being a good door supervisor – in order to do that, you need to be able to understand the type of situation that is occurring.

A good way to do this is to have a mental gauge of the various degrees of trouble you are confronted with. For example:
