The vulnerability lies in the patrons being able to access the facility at two entrances and no searching is being conducted. Patrons are able to enter and exit the facility with a simple ID check being conducted at the entrance. This leaves us open to many things going wrong at any point during the night. On October 2, 2011 we were faced with a major shooting that took the life of a young man and proper security measures could have been taken to prevent this from happening.

It is our responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and has an enjoyable time while they are here. There are many unpredictable situations that may arise and this is the reason for heavy security and officer presence. I have made the decision for security cameras to monitor several locations and keep order in our facility. I have also made the decision for the communication devices, as it is crucial for us to keep an open line of communication during operating hours. The plain clothed officers are being placed in the facility in case of illegal behavior and they are more likely to get up close to the situation without a negative reaction from the crowd. I have also decided to employ numerous officers to make security known as a deterrent to the criminals in the area. Our club is in the Tampa area for fun and we need to change the mindset of the community and make this an enjoyable place. The security design set in place here hits all angles of threats and possible issues that may arise. We may have unforeseen issues arise and we will address them as they happen with constant communication and the ability to handle these situations. I will also be conducting biweekly training and nightly briefings to keep my security team abreast of any new issues or possible threats that may arise. Together the right security team can turn this place around and make it a fun environment
