As higher risk cash-intensive businesses, such as cannabis-related businesses (CRBs), face heightened security risks due to their largely cash-based operations, learning from the banking sector's decades of anti-robbery experience is essential. This webinar will equip business owners, managers, and employees with proven strategies adapted from banks and credit unions to enhance safety, mitigate risks, and protect employees and assets.

Join us for an engaging and insightful session featuring practical advice, real-world case studies, and highlights from interviews with the late Troy Evans, a former bank robber turned security expert, who provides a unique perspective on the "mind of the robber."

Over the course of an hour, we will cover critical topics such as opening and closing procedures to ensure controlled access, best practices for security and surveillance, and robust cash-handling protocols to reduce vulnerability. Through a detailed comparison of bank branch and dispensary security needs, participants will gain actionable insights into implementing measures like two-person rules, advanced surveillance systems, and secure cash transport. By the end of the session, you will be armed with the knowledge to safeguard your operations and foster a safer environment for your staff and customers.

BONUS: Each paid registration receives a copy of the 29-page Cash Management Standards from the Emerging Markets Coalition and NACB.
