Door Supervisors (DSP)
RFC is the leading company in this field thanks to our innovative approach to providing security to licensed premises. While our competitors continually make the mistake of seeing licensed premises as sites that require a ‘strong hand’ approach and make the unfortunate misassumption of sending staff that believe they should demonstrate a stern no nonsense approach RFC see’s the bigger picture.
Our clients need to sell their venue to the public as a place to come to enjoy themselves without feeling intimidated or demeaned. With that in mind we train our door staff to know the importance of representing not only ourselves as a professional outfit but also to represent your venue as the place to be. We accomplish this by ensuring a polite and friendly approach is taken by our staff towards your customers. Your customers will be greeted courteously and made feel welcome to the establishment while being monitored in such a way that they will feel safe rather than be greeted with an oppressive atmosphere.

If trouble ensues our staff are trained to deal with it professionally and are able to quell most disturbances through polite yet assertive communication. Our staff are trained to only make physical contact as a last resort once it is necessary to restrain someone from hurting themselves or others. In this scenario, reasonable force will never be exceeded.RFC also prides itself in maintaining a strong relationship with local law enforcement. Naturally we are fully licensed by the Private Security Authority to engage in these services as well as carrying full insurance, and as always RFC can tailor a package to suit your venues individual requirements at the most competitive rates in the industry.
