Cannabis Dispensary Security Services
Compliance and Peace of MindCompliance-Driven Protection for Cannabinoid Facilities in MD, DC & PA
Cannabis dispensaries face complex security challenges that go beyond typical retail concerns. Between strict state regulations, high-value inventory, and increased risk for theft or diversion, your security provider must be more than visible—they must be vigilant, compliant, and professional.
At Defender One, we provide on-site security services for cannabis dispensaries and other licensed cannabinoid facilities, helping you stay compliant, protect your team, and maintain a safe, trusted environment for your customers.

Access Control & ID Verification
Ensure only authorized staff and customers enter restricted areas in compliance with state laws.
Interior & Exterior Patrols
Maintain a visible deterrent, monitor parking lots, and reduce loitering or suspicious activity around the property.
Emergency Response & Incident Documentation
Immediate response to on-site incidents, with accurate reporting aligned to state reporting requirements.
Opening & Closing Coverage
Guard presence during cash handling, inventory movement, and end-of-day procedures to reduce risk.
Inventory Protection & Diversion Prevention
Support compliance with chain-of-custody protocols and help prevent internal theft or product loss.
Compliance
