The resulting behaviour from taking them can vary considerably. For security personnel, people under the influence of drugs or alcohol can be challenging to deal with, causing problems with other members of the public.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drug users can cause disruption, even violence towards themselves and others\u2014including security officers. It is essential for security personnel to have training in the street &amp; prescription drugs they will encounter in their work, especially door supervisors and CCTV operators at events. Most street drugs have slang or street names to conceal what they are\u2014even special emojis! Selling of all drugs is an illegal activity and as security personnel, you need to alert for signs of this happening in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Drug Awareness &amp; Harm Reduction Course with Get Licensed and The Loop\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OzTF2l1tffY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-awareness-training-for-security-personnel\">Awareness &amp; Training For Security Personnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By UK law, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VFdSMoP6lyc\">all security personnel need to be licensed<\/a>.
