Read the first 6 Search Procedures & Drug Awareness flashcards as text

  1. What is the recommended procedure when a door supervisor suspects a customer's drink has been spiked?

    Answer: Separate the customer, call emergency services and preserve the drink as evidence

    Suspected drink spiking is a serious crime; the drink should be preserved for forensic analysis, the customer separated and cared for, and emergency services called immediately.

  2. What are the signs of ketamine intoxication?

    Answer: Dissociation, confusion, inability to feel pain and appearing unconscious while awake

    Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic causing confusion, detachment from reality, inability to feel pain and a 'k-hole' state where the person appears semi-conscious.

  3. Why is it important to conduct searches consistently and without discrimination?

    Answer: To comply with the Equality Act 2010 and avoid accusations of bias

    Inconsistent searches that target people based on protected characteristics breach the Equality Act 2010 and can expose the venue and individual to legal action.

  4. A customer is found in possession of a small amount of cannabis. What is the correct door supervisor response?

    Answer: Refuse entry or remove from premises, document the incident and notify police if appropriate

    While door supervisors cannot arrest for simple possession without meeting the citizen's arrest threshold, they can refuse entry and should document and report the matter to police.

  5. What is the 'Frank' approach to drug awareness referenced in UK security training?

    Answer: A government drug information resource providing factual advice without moralising

    FRANK is the UK government's drug information service; security training draws on FRANK resources to ensure staff have accurate, non-judgmental knowledge of drug effects and risks.

  6. Which drug class is associated with aggression and paranoia, increasing conflict risk at venues?

    Answer: Stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines

    High-dose stimulant use can cause paranoia, increased aggression and unpredictable behaviour, making stimulant-intoxicated customers higher-risk in conflict situations.
