For certain services such as on cannabis sites, team members are required to be customer- service oriented, and the whole team constantly strives to deliver excellence, acting as frontline ambassadors for their clients and letting them know that they are in safe, professional hands. To enhance their prior security- oriented experience, obtained before joining the ranks at Strongbox, the team also goes through rigorous and regular training, with some specialist programs for skillsets such as firearms, de-escalation techniques, and report writing.

As the months and years progress, we will see this industry fully legitimized and cannabis will be included in each state’s economic plan.” Consequently, Strongbox maintains a close eye on trends and developments in the industry so as to stay relevant and up- to-date with the best practices in protecting this burgeoning commodity.
