Bouncers life in Delhi NCR - DRINKS, FOOD and EVE TEASING

A tall guy with duplicate diamond studded ear and black clothes hinting to look like a uniform. A Bouncer is delhi can easily be helpful and at the same time be equally destructive . Bouncers are all around you - pubs, bars, high end restaurants, farm houses, concerts, events. Do you feel safe?

A typical bouncer is not scared of the consequences that may unfold due to his actions. Bouncers ae already accustomed to visiting police stations and have a general sense of how to handle police, This is what makes them notorious. They have groupism and strong sense of beer bonding that creates a feeling of caring for each other. Bouncers always drink beer, I mean always, there is not one event during which I have not seen these bouncers collect for beer post the event.

Most bouncers have turned themselves to security services because they have a hefty built, understood quick money and had the flair to handle fights, skirmishes.

Most bouncers look Rogue and dangerous , this is the reason that people do not feel safe around them. Bouncers will continue to provide protection but everything they do comes at a price , they will eve-tease women when alone, at times steal small articles such as bike mirrors, cycles, canteen food items, personal belongings lying idle. This makes the situation precarious for the company hiring them for duty.

The other side of the problem is there need to get aggressive, bouncers pick up fights very easily and at times such fights end in dire consequences. A Bouncers day starts at 12 noon and ends at 4 a.m in the morning after the pub closes down and they have gulped there alcohol.

One of the expectations from every bouncer is that he is tall, muscular and stand tall. The problem arises when the same hefty and muscular bouncer is unable to provide adequate security when requires.

Bouncers come from village backgrounds and have been corrupted by constant lure of money, drugs, muscular strength and power that comes with the duty( managing entry / exit at the gates of an event)

Delhi NCR region becomes extremely notorious for security concerns as the same bouncers can be trouble as well. Many events have very strict rules from allowing entry despite such rules we find that many hooligans do enter with alcohol, torch lights and trouble creating equipment. How does this happen when there is thorough checking at the gates and the security is managing frisking every entrant at the gates to ensure a quality event. Bouncers have a soft corner for their brethren and let their kind enter without any entry pass. The same person who would be vigilant and providing quality security will be the cause for trouble at the event.

Bouncers have to be trained and co--ordinated to avoid any unusual and unexpected threat. Bouncers are always into alcohol, Beer is something every bouncer will drink after the event. There have been 3 - 4 day events  despite which the bouncers have had drinks every day.

Most bouncers are not delhites and are living in small towns situated around Delhi borders particularly Haryana. This creates further trouble as any bouncer who creates nuisance shall easily leave the state to avoid Delhi jurisdiction.

We should do complete confirmation before hiring bouncers and also maintain swift procedures to arrange for replacements in case of any unwarranted happenings.

Bouncer as a security is most useful for events to protect you from other vigilants who are bouncers off duty. Anybody intending to cause harm will most likely hire a bouncer or hire many bouncers depending upon the situation. This is the biggest difference between a Personal Security Officer and a Bouncer.

A personal security officer ( acronym PSO ) means an ex-army, ex-navy, ex-crpf, ex- nsg. This makes a world of difference in the attitude and behaviour of a security officer. Firstly, he is educated and will  act much more professionally than a civilian bouncer. Secondly, any PSO will we married and settled because of his age which will be more than 35 years. This is due to this time spent in ARMY adds to his age. Whereas a Bouncer can be anybody from 20-30 years of age without any qualification, degree, experience or security training.


This fundamental difference decides what should one hire / employ for your security purposes.
