The cannabis industry faces a unique intersection of opportunity and risk. Dispensaries, grow operations, and processing facilities handle high-value inventory, large cash transactions, and sensitive data, all under tight regulatory oversight.

We provide peace of mind, built on experience, compliance, and consistency.

Marijuana leaves on top of $100 bills.

Understanding Cannabis Security Challenges

Few industries are as tightly controlled or as frequently targeted as cannabis. Regulations demand strict security standards, including 24/7 video surveillance, restricted access, and detailed incident reporting. Meanwhile, facilities face external risks such as theft, burglary, and armed robbery, along with internal threats like inventory diversion or employee misconduct.

A strong cannabis security system doesn’t simply check regulatory boxes, it protects your staff, customers, and assets with real-world precision. ALK Global Security integrates physical protection, compliance management, and operational support so your business can run smoothly without fear of disruption.

Comprehensive Dispensary Security Services

Every dispensary has different needs, shaped by location, layout, and local laws. We offer layered dispensary security services that combine human expertise with modern technology to maintain constant oversight and control.

On-Site Cannabis Security Guards

Our cannabis security guards are trained to balance vigilance with professionalism. They manage entrances, verify identification, monitor sales floors, and maintain order during peak hours. Their presence deters theft and ensures customers and employees feel safe.

Guards are also trained in conflict de-escalation, ensuring that tense situations, whether at the register or outside the building, are handled calmly and effectively.

Video Surveillance and Monitoring

We design and oversee cannabis security systems that meet or exceed state and municipal regulations. High-resolution cameras, motion-triggered alerts, and remote access capabilities allow constant visibility across cultivation rooms, vaults, storage areas, and points of sale. Our security experts monitor footage in real time to detect suspicious behavior and coordinate immediate response when necessary.

Access Control Systems

Limiting access is key to protecting product integrity. Our systems track and manage who enters sensitive areas such as grow rooms, packaging stations, and cash-handling zones. Using ID verification, biometric scanning, or digital keypads, we ensure only authorized personnel can move between controlled spaces.

Transportation & Cash Escort Services

The movement of cannabis products and cash requires discreet and disciplined handling. ALK provides armed and unarmed escorts for cash drops, inventory transfers, and distribution routes. Our officers operate with professionalism and precision, ensuring your assets arrive safely and on time.

Alarm & Intrusion Response

When an alarm is triggered, every second counts. Our team provides rapid alarm response services, verifying threats, coordinating with law enforcement, and securing the premises until the issue is resolved. This quick reaction minimizes damage and downtime while demonstrating full regulatory compliance.

Security for Grow Operations and Processing Facilities

Dispensaries are only one part of the cannabis ecosystem. ALK Global Security also protects cultivation and processing sites where valuable plants and concentrates are developed. These facilities often cover large areas, requiring 24/7 patrols, perimeter monitoring, and integrated surveillance systems.

Our officers are trained to monitor equipment, secure entry points, and oversee contractor activity, preventing unauthorized access or product loss. With comprehensive reporting and incident documentation, your operation remains compliant and accountable at every stage.

Compliance-Driven Security Solutions

Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable in the cannabis industry. ALK Global Security designs protection strategies that align with your state’s cannabis control requirements, including video retention standards, ID verification, and alarm testing documentation.

Our dispensary security services include compliance support such as:

  • Documentation of all guard and system activity
  • Detailed incident reports and audit-ready logs
  • Video archiving that meets required retention periods
  • Guidance on local and state inspection preparation
