Site location, hours needing coverage, and anything specific we should plan around.
What Florida law requires
Two requirements that shape every treatment-center security plan.
These are the operator's obligations under Florida law, not KMSC's claims about its own service. We provide the licensed personnel; compliance remains the license holder's responsibility.
A contracted security agency can satisfy the on-premises requirement
Florida law requires a medical marijuana treatment center to keep at least two of its own employees — or two employees of a security agency it contracts with — on the premises at all times where cultivation, processing or storing of marijuana occurs.

Continuous video surveillance, retained at least 45 days
Treatment centers must maintain a video surveillance system that records continuously 24 hours a day, covering controlled areas and all entrances and exits, with recordings retained for at least 45 days — or longer at the request of a law enforcement agency.

This page is general information, not legal advice. The two-employee requirement applies where cultivation, processing or storing of marijuana occurs. Confirm your facility's obligations with your own counsel and regulator.
