A Security Guard is working as a doorperson at a licensed establishment when an obviously intoxicated person tries to enter. What should the security guard do?

Arrest the person for drunk and disorderly in a public place
Physically restrain the person and call for the police
Refuse entry to the person
Allow them to enter and closely monitor their behaviour

The correct answer is: Refuse entry to the person

The correct response in this scenario is refusing entry to the obviously intoxicated individual. As a security guard at a licensed establishment, it is essential to adhere to established legal and safety guidelines that prohibit serving alcohol to intoxicated persons. Allowing an intoxicated person to enter poses risks not only to their safety but also to others within the establishment. Furthermore, it helps protect the establishment's license and minimizes potential liability issues that may arise from incidents involving intoxicated patrons. This proactive approach also demonstrates the guard's commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all patrons. By refusing entry, the guard intervenes in a potentially volatile situation before it escalates, ensuring that the well-being of both the individual and other guests is prioritized. This action aligns with the duty of care expected in security roles within licensed premises.
