A Security Guard is working as a doorperson at a licensed establishment when an obviously intoxicated person tries to enter. What should the Security Guard do?

  1. Arrest the person for drunk and disorderly in a public place

  2. Physically restrain the person and call for the police

  3. Refuse entry to the person

  4. Allow them to enter and closely monitor their behaviour

The correct answer is: Refuse entry to the person

The role of a security guard at a licensed establishment includes enforcing the rules of the establishment. One of these rules is not allowing obviously intoxicated persons to enter. This is important for the safety and enjoyment of other patrons, and can also help prevent potential legal issues related to serving alcohol to an already intoxicated individual. Therefore, the correct course of action for the security guard in this scenario would be to refuse entry to the intoxicated person. It is not within the guard's responsibilities or legal rights to arrest or physically restrain the person, unless they are posing an immediate danger to others. Similarly, allowing the person to enter and then monitoring their behavior does not address the core issue, and could potentially lead to more problems down the line.
