Melbourne Security
The nightlife!
To be able to party is right of passage; late nights dancing with friends, drinking a little too much and going to bed when the sun comes up. However, with alcohol-fuelled violence on the rise, reduced and inexperienced security at venues and larger crowds things could be changing for the youth of tomorrow. With over 28 years of experience Titanium Security prides itself as the leading Melbourne Security company.
Earlier this year, Queensland introduced Australia’s toughest lockout laws, the laws include a 1am lockout, 2am last drinks and no takeaway alcohol after 10pm. Articles below.
Many Queenslanders worry that venues will close and with that thousands of jobs will go. Many are concerned that their cities will turn into ghost towns like Sydney, read below articles.
So where does that leave Melbourne Security? Melbourne was the city where lockouts didn’t work. A lockout in Melbourne was trialled in 2008. KPMG commissioned by the government to survey venues and patrons, and the report stated that the lockout wasn’t effective and therefore the State Government was not going to pursue the lockout plan. It was reported that crime was in fact up during the trial period.
Reports of alcohol-fuelled violence are still prevalent in the media, so how can a security company work with establishments to try and avoid any future lockouts in Melbourne?
At Titanium Security we believe that Melbourne Security can be manageable and a security company can help in the following ways;
- Providing experienced crowd controllers
- Consistently providing the same crowd controllers to get to know the patrons
- Providing crowd controllers that arrive on time to ensure the venue is secure
- Providing crowd controllers that are able to talk to patrons
- Providing crowd controllers that can refuse entry, plus much more
If you are looking for a security company that is experienced in providing security services, has the knowledge of Melbourne culture, and habits, contact us today to discuss your establishment’s requirements.
