(a) Whenever a rave club is open to the general public, the rave club permittee shall have on the premises, at the permittee's expense, the greater of either: (i) three off-duty, sworn law enforcement officers, or three private security officers having either a Class D or Class MS license as set forth in Chapter 493, Florida Statutes; or (ii) one off-duty, sworn law enforcement officer, or one private security officer having a license described above, per 150 of the persons allowed under the maximum occupancy load for the structure in which the rave club is operated. The Police Chief may require a permittee to increase the number of off-duty law enforcement officers or licensed private security officers when a special event or limited engagement is scheduled to take place at a permitted rave club. Nothing in the division shall be construed to mean that the Police Chief must require law enforcement officers to serve in an off-duty capacity at a permitted rave club.
(b) Whenever a rave club is open to the general public, at least one certified and actively licensed paramedic, as set forth in Chapter 401, Florida Statutes, shall be present, at the expense of the permittee.
