Bouncers provide security for nightclubs, bars, and events. They manage crowd control, check IDs, and handle potentially disruptive situations. Training includes conflict de-escalation, crisis management, and first aid. Bouncers must balance maintaining order with creating a welcoming atmosphere. They often work closely with management and local law enforcement. Physical fitness and situational awareness are crucial. Many venues now require bouncers to wear body cameras for accountability. Some specialized training may cover drug awareness and recognizing signs of human trafficking. Bouncers may also assist with emergency evacuations and coordinate with emergency services when necessary.
