Northern Force Security Cannabis Security - Keeping the Stash Safe | Page 11

Another issue with the way some startup cannabis producers protect their business
and product is through stealth, which is perhaps another hangover from the days of
illicit trading. However this is never a good idea as travelling with large amounts of
cash or cannabis in discrete family saloon makes you highly vulnerable to armed
robbery. That is one of the reason that regulators insist on surveillance systems as
both approaches to security typically fall into the heavy or stealth categories but
both modes will insufficient from a law enforcement and governance perspective.
This is because although the premises, which may be stealthy or bristling with
defence, and the cash and product deemed by the owner to be secure. The problem
remains that should there be a concerted effort to break into the premises. It would
not matter whether the attack succeeds or not, from the police perspective there will
be no forensic surveillance evidence.
