Three licensed premises in Stowmarket were visited by the Security Industry Authority, Suffolk Police and a representative from Stowmarket Town Council as part of an operation to check door staff held SIA licences on March 7.
By law, all door staff must hold a frontline SIA licence and display this while working. If they are employed directly by a venue as staff member, rather than through a contractor, the manager must hold a non-frontline licence.
Of the 15 door staff checked, all held valid SIA licences.
Jackie Munn, an SIA Head of Investigation said: "I am pleased with the results from this operation. The SIA Door Supervisor licence ensures that there is a chain of responsibility and accountability. It is the manager’s responsibility to ensure that the security company they use only supply SIA licensed door staff.
"Doormen must ensure that when on duty they hold valid SIA licences, which should be displayed whilst working."
