Video Surveillance for Cannabis Dispensaries
Reliable Marijuana Dispensary Security
There is a marijuana renaissance happening across America. It is once again becoming decriminalized to produce, possess, and consume cannabis in many places. In fact, according to the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL), “A total of 36 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have approved comprehensive, publicly available medical marijuana/cannabis programs.” Of these 36 states that allow the medical use of marijuana, 18 states have now legalized its consumption for recreational use. According to Mary Magazine, “…the number of dispensaries has reached an astounding 7,490 across the United States.” This number is growing exponentially.
The Growing Need for Dispensary Security Surveillance
Due to this rapid marijuana industry growth, the need for dispensary security surveillance has grown, as well. Dispensaries can hold tens of thousands of dollars worth of products. Sometimes, hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even in the millions, depending on the state and location of the dispensary. The profitability of marijuana dispensaries means a lot is at stake. According to Flowhub, cannabis sales reached more than $18 billion in 2020 alone. This is why security and surveillance are now more important than ever. However, reliability is an issue. There are numerous options for added security on the table but choosing the right one can mean the difference between a secure facility and safe stock or losing enough that staff gets laid off or doors close for good.
Why Insurance Isn’t Always Enough
Many dispensary owners aren’t as worried as they should be about break-ins and theft. This is because a successful dispensary must have adequate insurance coverage. And while insurance is important when it comes to theft, it isn’t always enough. There are three primary reasons why your insurance policy may not be enough. For one, if sufficient security measures are not taken, some insurance policies will not cover break-ins or theft. Some insurance adjusters make the claim that not taking every reasonable precaution to prevent theft amounts to owner negligence, and therefore, the insurance company is not liable for coverage of the losses incurred at the dispensary. The second reason is that not every loss is covered by insurance in full. Gaps are oftentimes left between coverage and what’s left out of pocket. So, while some dispensary owners are confident in their policies, insurance companies, and insurance adjusters particularly, look for ways to underpay or not pay at all. Some people need to secure a lawyer to begin negotiating with the insurance company to attempt to secure payment, which can lead to issue number three. The third reason for not depending entirely on insurance is the possible wait times and the possibility that they may not pay at all by claiming owner negligence for not taking every precaution to prevent theft in the first place. Some companies end up waiting months or even years for a check to come.
What Dispensary Security Measures Should Be Taken?
Well, typically a marijuana dispensary will need to take several measures to adhere to efficient security protocols. These include:
Video surveillance systems.
Alarm and notification systems
Security personnel/security guards
Building access control systems
Network systems
You may also want to look into fences, signage, and adequate lighting outdoors.
Choosing the Right Cannabis Security Surveillance System
The main reason for choosing the right cannabis facility security systems, other than insurance, is for compliance. In order to pass inspection, effective and reliable security must be in effect. Another reason to secure your premises from outside intruders and inside jobs. The allure of hundreds of pounds of marijuana is a lot for some. Third, a highly-effective security system gives customers better peace of mind, growing your consumer base while allowing your business to run more smoothly and efficiently.
