New Entertainment Ordinance Could Affect Security For Raleigh Nightclubs

Posted Updated

RALEIGH, N.C. — You may notice less police presence around Raleigh nightclubs since a new entertainment ordinance kicks in on Monday.

Previously, places which play loud music and sit on a parking lot had to hire off-duty police officers for security.

Now, establishments do not have to hire officers as long as they have not had any violations for drugs or violence in a 9-month period.

It costs around $400 to hire two off-duty officers for a night.
