Cannabis Retail Security in Minnesota
Local, Licensed, and Ready to Respond.

Security Built for Minnesota’s Standards

With Minnesota’s recreational cannabis market now legal, dispensaries face increasing exposure to theft, loitering, and other high-risk activity due to high-value inventory and cash-heavy transactions. Meeting the minimum regulatory standards isn’t enough—you need visible, experienced on-site security professionals who are equipped to manage real-world situations with authority and calm.

​

Per Minnesota Rule 9810.1500, licensed cannabis retailers must maintain robust physical security measures, including:

• Written procedures to guard against unauthorized access, theft, and product diversion

• Tested systems with emergency backup and a 30-minute response protocol after a security event

• 24/7 alarm systems, regular surveillance, secure locks, and well-lit premises

Those regulatory essentials are firmly established. What sets Providence apart is our local presence, responsiveness, and expertise.
