We asked, and you answered! Our new “Official ED/EXPO Forum” on Facebook is an industry-only hub for adult nightclub professionals. In addition to sharing information on the Annual ED EXPO, we’ll pose questions and prompts in the group that may lead to your responses appearing in ED Magazine!
For our March issue, we asked what you think is the number-one security-related concern clubs face today.
These are some of the industry’s replies:
“Improperly trained security manhandling customers when the issue can be handled in a firm, assertive and professional manner. Issues like this lead to more violent repercussions and legal issues.”
— Chino Salas, Owner of GenTX Media
“Dancers being left to their own defenses in private rooms.”
— Raven Kali, Entertainer
“The importance of teaching everyone, no matter how many times, that if a customer goes out the door, then they are searched on re-entry, period.”
— Kelly Johnson, General Manager at The Pony in Starkville, Mississippi
“Air tags being placed in the wheel wells of entertainers’ vehicles or them being followed home from work. I’ve seen this happen multiple times just this year.”
— Sam Sigh, Entertainer
“I have experienced being left to fend for myself and then security yelled at me for defending myself.”
— Pandora Moon, Entertainer
“The number one thing is online stalking or harassing [staff and entertainers]. Security, management and the owners can only do so much, especially when staff and enticers leave a digital footprint.”
— Ken Haynes, General Manager of Christie’s Cabaret in Canton, Ohio
