Cannabis Security
A regulated product moving through a watched supply chain.
A regulated product, a documented chain of custody, and personnel who understand both.
Maryland cannabis operators carry a security burden that other retailers do not: a high-value regulated product, cash exposure, a documented chain of custody, and a regulator with an interest in all three. Police Protection Services supports growers, processors, distributors, and dispensaries across that chain, including fresh-to-frozen transportation within Maryland.
Because the requirements are regulatory as well as practical, coverage is planned alongside whoever owns compliance at your operation, so the security program and the documentation the state expects to see are the same program.
Scope
What an assignment can cover
Not every assignment uses all of this. The assessment call decides which parts apply to your site, and the ones that do get written into the post orders before anyone is scheduled.
-
Dispensary coverage
Floor presence, entry control, and opening and closing support during retail hours.
-
Fresh-to-frozen transportation
Secure product movement within Maryland with the chain of custody documented.
-
Cultivation and processing sites
Perimeter, access, and after-hours coverage at grow and production facilities.
-
Cash and deposit movement
Protection during the predictable moments when cash exposure peaks.
-
Supply-chain coordination
Scheduling with your logistics so security is not the bottleneck.
-
Documentation and reporting
Records built to sit alongside your compliance file.
On Site
How the work actually runs
Facility work covers controlled entry, visitor handling, monitoring of restricted areas, and a written record of movement in and out. The personnel deployed are the same trained officers used across every other assignment — the difference is the operating context, not a separate standard of staffing.
Transportation covers fresh-to-frozen licensed cannabis movement with trained escorts accompanying product in transit. Routes, timing, and handover points are agreed in advance, and the documentation is treated as part of the deliverable rather than an afterthought.

Straight Answer
When this is not what you need
Security supports compliance; it does not substitute for it. Licensing, inventory systems, and regulatory reporting remain the operator responsibility, and we will not represent otherwise.
Common Questions
Questions we are asked first
If yours is not here, it is a good first question for the call.
Call (410) 977-1510Do you understand Maryland cannabis requirements?
We work within them, and we plan alongside your compliance lead rather than assuming what the regulator wants. Bring your requirements to the call and we will build the coverage around them.
What is fresh-to-frozen transportation?
Secure transport of cannabis product between licensed points inside Maryland, with the chain of custody documented at each handoff.
Can you cover more than one site?
Yes. Multi-site operators are quoted as a single program so coverage and reporting stay consistent across locations.
Usually Combined With
Most sites need more than one of these
Coverage is normally built as a combination rather than a single line item. These are the services most often paired with this one.
