ProTect Your Bars & Lounges

These staff members are frequently responsible for requesting proper identification from patrons before allowing them to enter, monitoring activities of patrons while in the establishment, controlling crowds and intervening to prevent aggressive actions.  

Individuals who work in a security position or manage/supervise security staff in bars and nightclubs (Class A Minors Prohibited licensed premises) must successfully complete the training program. This also applies to people who own, manage or work for a security company contracted to provide security in the same type of licensed premise.

All workers in these positions must successfully complete ProTect Security Staff Training. Individuals who work or volunteer in a security position in any other licensed premises or for a special event function are encouraged to take ProTect Security Staff Training, but it is not mandatory. 

The training is available at no charge and offered through facilitated seminars at locations around the province. Individuals wishing to register for training can find upcoming seminar dates, times and locations at www.ProTect.aglc.ca.
