I was in town this weekend where my friend was kicked out of the night club, i then went and asked for the manager which the bouncer proceeded to kick me out as well (didn't even get to the manager or my items left inside)... 

When we got home we started to debate the difference of having security and bouncers, what there powers were and how it differed

Does anyone know if there is actually a difference and what there powers actually are?




I'm going to noob myself past judgement

If you believe you have a genuine complaint you can complain through the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority, the 'bouncer' who asked you to leave is required by law to have a COA as mentioned above, the security company or bar that he / she works for is also required to have a Company Certificate.

As far as i'm aware there's no major difference between door staff / crowd controllers and property guards, although to work in different areas of security you are meant to have specific classes on the certificate of approval (COA) which they hold, training is now mandatory for to become a fully licensed guard however it previously was not.

More details on making a complaint here:

Source: I am a licensed security officer in crowd control ('Bouncing' being included), property guard, personal guard and security consultant.
