Florida continues to see a growing interest among investors with a desire to open new medical marijuana dispensaries. In fact, Curaleaf, prominent leaders among cannabis clinics around the nation, recently opened the largest medical marijuana dispensary in Tallahassee.
All signs continue to point towards medical marijuana gaining more traction in the Sunshine State, too. There is a strong belief that within the next election cycle, a vote to make recreational marijuana legal throughout the state.
However, like most states around the nation, there are certain regulatory laws that pertain to any cannabis business operating within the state, especially dispensaries. Installing security cameras is only one small part of the complex laws that Florida dispensary owners must adhere to for legal compliance.
Fortunately, progressive professional security camera installation companies like ourselves understand the significance of these laws. We have a full understanding of how to navigate them and deliver video surveillance solutions that not only meet but exceed the requirements asked of marijuana facility operations.
Below you can find the highlights involving installing security cameras and video surveillance systems within the official 2018 Florida Statutes involving businesses relating to medical use of marijuana.
Florida Statute 381.986, Section 6 states the following:
(f) To ensure the safety and security of premises where the cultivation, processing, storing, or dispensing of marijuana occurs, and to maintain adequate controls against the diversion, theft, and loss of marijuana or marijuana delivery devices, a medical marijuana treatment center shall:
1.a. Maintain a fully operational security alarm system that secures all entry points and perimeter windows and is equipped with motion detectors; pressure switches; and duress, panic, and hold-up alarms; or
(b). Maintain a video surveillance system that records continuously 24 hours each day and meets the following criteria:
(I) Cameras are fixed in a place that allows for the clear identification of persons and activities in controlled areas of the premises. Controlled areas include grow rooms, processing rooms, storage rooms, disposal rooms or areas, and point-of-sale rooms;
(II) Cameras are fixed in entrances and exits to the premises, which shall record from both indoor and outdoor, or ingress and egress, vantage points;
(III) Recorded images must clearly and accurately display the time and date.
(IV) Retain video surveillance recordings for a minimum of 45 days or longer upon the request of a law enforcement agency.
As of now, the official statutes for marijuana businesses are not complete, yet. The final legislation is still being written, but one thing remains constantly evident.
Security will play a highly prominent role in the finalization of all state compliance regulations for Florida marijuana dispensaries and grow facilities. As evidence, one last section details further instructions for monitoring any cannabis operation at all times to ensure its protection from criminal activity.
(6.) Require at least two of its employees, or two employees of a security agency with who it contracts, to be on the premises at all times where cultivation, processing, or storing marijuana occurs.
