Cannabis farmers are faced with strict regulations, however, few codes are security-related. This has caused the booming cannabis market to be accompanied with a plethora of crime – specifically theft. Not only are thieves after the cannabis product, they’re also after operational equipment. There are a number of ways that cannabis farmers can protect their premises, however, a combination of various forms of coverage is required in order to be effective.
Thorough Applicant Background Checks – There are several reasons why a company should acquire background checks to ensure a sound hiring process, especially for sensitive industries like cannabis. The most obvious reason is to check for any criminal history the applicant may have. It also gives the opportunity to avoid liability. If an employer fails to run a background check on an employee and an incident occurs, there is a chance that the employer could be considered liable due to negligence. Background checks give employers the overall rundown of the applicant and allows them to feel absolutely confident in their hiring decision!
Staff Training – When a grow op has strict protocols in place to enforce how the operations function, it helps keep consistency and organization within the company. Teaching employees how to secure product and the growing facility itself is crucial to preventing break ins and theft.
Ensure Ample Outdoor Lighting – Well-lit buildings are more likely to be avoided by thieves as their chances of being spotted are much higher.
Secure the Premises – Perimeter fencing won’t entirely stop thieves from cutting through and trespassing, but it will certainly deter those who are looking for an easier entrance.
Reliable Live Surveillance – Having eyes on the property’s perimeter at all times is essential to ensure the complete safety of a grow op. Our advanced technology, coupled with our team of live monitoring operators allow immediate detection of trespassers. The moment our operators observe any type of violation, the appropriate action is taken. Whether it simply takes a voice command and flashing strobe lights to deter a trespasser, or a swift call to authorities, property managers are always kept informed with instant notifications. Our SyncroReports™ reporting platform provides property management with exact details on what is currently occurring, and what has previously occurred on their properties. Our SyncroPlates™ platform is the world’s first multi-site license plate database that collects all plate numbers detected by our cameras. Ideal for tracking when employees or deliveries arrive to your site and blacklisting specific plates, the database is completely searchable by clients. For remote locations, our solar capabilities allow us to provide reliable services in areas without supporting infrastructure.
