Cannabis / Dispensary Security in Markham.
1Northwest Security delivers cannabis / dispensary security in Markham with the licensing, insurance, and documentation Ontario regulators demand. Our officers hold current provincial credentials and complete 80+ hours of internal onboarding before the first shift.
Why Markham Chooses Cannabis / Dispensary Security from 1Northwest Security
Cannabis / Dispensary Security works when it is invisible to the people who are supposed to be there and unmistakable to the people who aren't. In Markham we hire officers who understand that distinction viscerally.
Our Tactical Approach to Cannabis / Dispensary Security in Markham
Our Markham supervisors run unannounced post inspections at irregular hours. The result is a cannabis / dispensary security standard that holds at 03:00 on a Sunday exactly as it does at 10:00 on a Tuesday.
Cannabis / Dispensary Security Pricing Considerations for Markham
Cannabis / Dispensary Security pricing in Markham depends on shift patterns, licensing tier, uniform posture, and site complexity. We deliver written proposals — typically same business day — and never quote over the phone before understanding the site.
Licensing & Compliance in Ontario
Every officer providing cannabis / dispensary security in Markham is background-checked to CPIC standards and re-checked every 24 months. No exceptions.

Cannabis / Dispensary Security in Markham — Common Questions.
Is Cannabis / Dispensary Security Licensed Across Canada?
Yes. Every cannabis / dispensary security deployment is fulfilled by officers who hold a valid provincial licence in the province of work — Ontario PSISA, BC BST, Quebec BSP, Alberta Security Services Licence, and equivalent territorial licences across NWT, YT, and NU.
How Quickly Can You Start a Cannabis / Dispensary Security Contract?
For most cannabis / dispensary security engagements we can be on-site within 48–72 hours of a signed proposal. Emergency deployments (e.g. sprinkler-outage fire watch, sudden alarm-response coverage) are often possible the same day.
Do You Scale Cannabis / Dispensary Security to Multi-Site Portfolios?
Yes. National portfolios receive a dedicated account manager, single-invoice billing, and consolidated reporting across every site — from a single storefront to a coast-to-coast footprint.
How Do You Handle Reporting in Markham?
Every check-point in Markham is timestamped and GPS-tagged. Daily occurrence reports arrive by 06:00 the following morning and are stored in a client-facing portal alongside CCTV cross-references and photographic evidence.
Do You Handle Both Armed and Unarmed Work in Markham?
The vast majority of our Markham deployments are unarmed licensed officers, which meets almost every commercial, residential, and event use case. Armed work (when legally permissible) is available for specific high-risk executive protection details on written request.
What Insurance Do You Carry for Markham Work?
1Northwest Security maintains $25M General Liability, provincial WSIB/WCB compliance, and site-specific certificate delivery on demand — often within the same business day for Markham clients.
