ARD Film Exposes Claims of Rising Violence, Lax Qualifications in Private Security

The documentary centers on a former doorman who says he worked without the required §34a certification, describing increasing aggression toward guards.

Overview

  • Ex-bouncer Martin recounts leaving the job after a decade, citing incidents such as being jumped on and strangled during shifts.
  • He says he failed the §34a security qualification but was still deployed, alleging his employer knew and calling it a company responsibility.
  • Martin characterizes the use of unqualified staff as a security gap that endangers both workers and the public.
  • The film contrasts these claims with a Munich firm that requires onboarding on legal basics, radio drills, fire-safety training, and first-aid.
  • A newcomer who identifies as a refugee says the role is often underestimated and emphasizes resolving conflicts without violence, as taught in training.
