Security Analysis for Drinking Establishments

Security Oversight & Review

We provide expert witness services focused on security analysis for drinking establishments. Our services cover bar security practices, risk assessment, and incident analysis. We evaluate security protocols, staff training, and incident response to determine liability and ensure industry compliance.
We assess adherence to responsible alcohol service guidelines and evaluate how staff and security interact with intoxicated patrons. This includes reviewing policies for refusing service, managing overserved guests, and safely removing them from the premises.

Security Risk Assessment & Analysis

We evaluate physical security measures such as cameras, lighting, and emergency exits while identifying vulnerabilities in venue protocols. Our analysis also includes staff training effectiveness in de-escalation, crowd control, and emergency response readiness.
  • Review hiring and vetting process
  • Check background screening steps
  • Evaluate training for drunk patrons
  • Assess handling of violent cases
  • Verify compliance with regulations
“Effective security in drinking establishments starts with proper staff training, clear protocols, and consistent enforcement. Negligence in any of these areas can significantly increase liability exposure.”
— Kim Schioldan, Security Consultant
