Process

Secure your
dispensary.

From a single storefront to a multi-site operation with cultivation and delivery, book the cannabis security coverage you need and get licensed officers on site quickly, with the compliance posture your state regulator expects.

(01)

Tell us about your operation

Share your license type and sites: retail dispensary, cultivation or grow, manufacturing, distribution, or delivery. Tell us your hours, daily cash volume, vault location, and concerns like diversion, robbery, loitering, or after-hours break-ins. We build a cannabis security plan around your real risk, not a generic storefront template.

(02)

Choose armed, unarmed, or transport

Pick uniformed deterrence at the door, an armed officer covering the vault and cash room, or secure cash and product transport between sites and the bank or payment processor. Every guard is licensed in your state, background-checked, and experienced in regulated cannabis environments and access-controlled facilities.

(03)

Run every site from one dashboard

Operating multiple dispensaries, a grow, and a delivery fleet? Track guards in real time, review automated incident and shift reports for your compliance file, and handle billing across all your licensed locations from one Calvis dashboard.

Included

Everything
you need.

Every cannabis security booking through Calvis includes these capabilities as standard.

Cash & vault protection

Officers cover the register, cash room, and vault in cash-intensive dispensaries where banking access is still limited, deterring internal theft, robbery, and product diversion.

Compliant access & ID checks

Guards verify age and ID at the door, control limited-access and 21+ areas, and keep entry logs consistent with the access-control rules your state regulator enforces.

Cash & product transport

Vetted officers escort cash and inventory between sites, vaults, and the bank or payment processor, with route planning that limits exposure during high-risk runs.

Cultivation & grow coverage

Perimeter, gate, and after-hours protection for cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution facilities where high-value inventory and equipment sit behind controlled access.

Licensed & insured guards

Every cannabis security officer is licensed in your state, background-checked, and insured, placed through agencies experienced in regulated retail and seed-to-sale operations.

Same-day deployment

Responding to a robbery, a staffing gap, or a new-store opening? Our multi-agency network can get licensed officers on site the same day in most markets.

Camera & alarm support

Officers work alongside your existing surveillance and alarm systems, monitor blind spots, document incidents, and respond to alerts during and after business hours.

Transparent pricing

See armed and unarmed rates before you commit. No hidden fees and clear, upfront cannabis security pricing for single sites or multi-location operations.

FAQ

Common
questions

It covers retail storefront protection, cash and vault security, compliant age and ID verification, limited-access and 21+ area control, cultivation and grow-site coverage, secure cash and product transport, and incident response. Because most cannabis businesses are still cash-intensive and operate under strict state access-control rules, Calvis matches you with agencies that handle armed, unarmed, and transport assignments for dispensaries, grows, manufacturers, distributors, and delivery operations.

It depends on your cash volume, location, and state requirements. Many dispensaries use a uniformed unarmed officer for visible deterrence and ID checks at the door, and add an armed officer for the vault, cash room, or transport runs. We assess your risk during setup and recommend the right mix, and we match you with agencies licensed to provide armed coverage where your jurisdiction allows it.

Unarmed cannabis security guards typically range from $25 to $45 per hour, while armed officers and secure transport runs are priced higher because of the credentials and risk involved. Final pricing depends on your location, hours, cash volume, and whether you need single-site or multi-location coverage. Rates are transparent and shown upfront, with preferred pricing for ongoing contracts.

Yes. Because cannabis operators often move cash and inventory by hand under banking restrictions, secure transport is one of the most requested services. Vetted officers escort cash and product between dispensaries, vaults, cultivation sites, and the bank or payment processor, with route planning that reduces exposure during high-risk runs.

Every officer in the Calvis network is licensed in their state, background-checked, and insured, and placed through agencies experienced in regulated cannabis operations. Licensing is always held by the agency and verified with the state regulator. Calvis is a marketplace that vets and matches those licensed agencies, so you can compare qualified options that understand cannabis access-control and reporting requirements in one place.

Yes. Coverage extends across the supply chain, including cultivation and grow sites, manufacturing and processing facilities, distribution warehouses, and delivery operations. We match you with agencies that handle perimeter and gate coverage, after-hours protection, and high-value inventory environments behind controlled access, not only storefront retail.

Same-day deployment is available in most markets. Whether you are responding to a robbery, covering a sudden staffing gap, opening a new store, or staffing a high-traffic sales day, our multi-agency network can get licensed officers on site fast.

Yes. Calvis is built for multi-site operators. Coordinate consistent security and compliance standards, track guards in real time, review incident reports for your compliance file, and manage billing across every licensed dispensary, grow, and delivery hub from a single dashboard.
