Security needs to be trained. Police are not trained to do show security, and therefore aren t good for it. Plus, off-duty police aren t responsible for actions. Security companies, on the other hand, are legally liable for their actions. Feels professional, trained security is best.
Bad promoters are a problem.
The TDO, however, punishes all promoters. We need to ensure good promoters can do shows. Thinks with off-duty police working shows, police are liable. The law exempts the city from liability. Feels a pamphlet on how to run a responsible show is a good idea.
