Cannabis / Dispensary Security
Health Canada, provincial, and municipal — one compliant program.
What this covers
Cannabis security in Canada is a regulated program, not a service line. We build compliant physical security systems from the ground up: intrusion detection, motion-tracked cameras, restricted-access rooms, and destruction escort SOPs that satisfy Health Canada's Physical Security Directive.
For retailers, we align OCS / AGLC / BCLDB / SQDC / private-provincial requirements with real-world floor patterns — panic buttons, drop safes, and after-hours protocols. Every audit finds what we've already fixed.
Licensed producer and retailer security programs that satisfy Cannabis Act physical security directives.
From walkthrough to first shift.
Every cannabis / dispensary security deployment follows the same four-step engagement — no short-cuts, no template quotes, no officer placed on a site they've never walked.
A regional supervisor visits your site, interviews stakeholders, and documents current pain points, existing systems, and shift patterns.
We draft a site-specific Standard Operating Procedure — post orders, escalation ladder, uniform posture, reporting cadence — and review it with your team before deployment.
Officers are hand-picked from our regional roster based on skill fit, language requirements, and prior experience with your industry. No random assignments.
Coverage begins on the agreed date, with the first two weeks audited by the regional supervisor. We course-correct in real time — not at a quarterly review.
