Nightclub Security Expert Claims Use of Force Unwarranted in Brain Injury Case

I have 20 years of law enforcement experience, and I am a certified police instructor in numerous areas including dealing with alcohol service venues, use of force, crime prevention, and more. I also have over 10 years of experience working as a consultant and training for a nightclub security consulting firm, which specializes in nightclub security team training and consulting in areas of guest safety and liability prevention. I have assisted and helped to train well over 5,000 guards and alcohol service venue employees, have spoke at the Nightclub & Bar show on security best practices, and have assisted in several other industry shows for several years. In addition to training provided at these shows, I have spoken to liability prevention, policies and procedures, dealing with law enforcement, patron and staff safety, crime prevention, use of force, emergency preparedness, and threat assessments. Excessive use of force like that detailed in the case is never acceptable, especially after an individual has been subdued and no longer poses a threat to club patrons and staff.
