The NYPD together with the New York Nightlife Association developed this second edition of nightlife safety guidelines to assist nightlife owners in maintaining safe bars, lounges and clubs free from illegal activity including: drug sales, underage drinking, over consumption of alcohol, violence, prostitution and sex offenses. They are meant as a general road map for owners and managers, not as a list of laws applicable to all establishments and all situations. Also included are separate sections regarding how to respond to a serious criminal incident and what you should know about counterterrorism threats and preparedness.
