EVENTS WHERE ALCOHOL IS BEING SERVED
When do I need to hire security at my event?
See the Albany Law School Student Handbook at pages 76-77 for the rules on events where alcohol is present. The Student Handbook may be found on your Albany Law School Portal.
“For events where alcohol will be present, the host organization must employ one uniformed security guard if it is estimated that there will be 75 or more persons in attendance. If it is estimated that the event will attract more than 250 persons at one time and that number will remain longer than one hour, two security guards must be employed.”
“Events with 250 or more persons in attendance, one security guard must be at the bar and one security guard must be at the door.”
Students must complete a Student Event Alcohol Form.
