While this poses a temporary solution for cash storage,\u00a0many cannabis retailers need a secure way to revenue from storefronts to the vaults.<\/p>\n \u201cTribal banking represents a much-needed service offering that could ultimately provide a solution to\u00a0the entire U.S. cannabis industry,\u201d Julian concludes.<\/p>\n Industry-specific services provided by MPSI<\/a> include: armed and unarmed security for retail and grow\u00a0operations, electronic security and surveillance, armored and low-profile vehicle transport of inventory\u00a0and cash, compliance oversight, and workplace protection for medical and adult recreational use.<\/p>\n About MPSI:<\/p>\n MPS International (MPSI) is a consulting firm that provides security consultative services to business\u00a0and individuals in the legal cannabis industry.
