Cannabis Security Overview

November 19, 2021 | 12:30 pm | 4D | Retail

This presentation will help identify security needs, various governing bodies, rules and regulations. I will help define what a “good” security system is based on various components and SOP’s.

Attendees will learn how to find the information containing the requirements placed upon them, how regulators will check for compliance, and policies that can provide long term cost savings to the licensee and business.

What does security mean? Is it a guard, camera or alarm? How can I ensure compliance? What is a Security Plan? Are there other steps I can take to mitigate risk and liability?

All of these questions and more will be posed, presented and answered. The industry is still trying to understand “what is Cannabis security?”

I want to help educate and add value in areas that not only benefit the license holder, but from the view point of the regulators as well.
