Patterson Security Training Course Missouri State Required Certification

The Patterson and Associates Security Course provides security training for personnel working in Missouri cannabis facilities. Missouri requires facility employees to be trained on the security measures and controls that prevent diversion, theft, and loss, scaled to each person's role, along with emergency preparedness for events ranging from severe weather and fire to unauthorized intrusion. This lecture-style program covers that ground and issues a certificate on completion.

What you'll learn

• Access control, managing entry points, and visitor and vendor procedures

• Diversion, theft, and loss prevention inside a licensed facility

• Situational awareness and recognizing a developing threat before it escalates

• De-escalation techniques for difficult and confrontational encounters

• Robbery response and how to protect a crime scene afterward

• Emergency response procedures for intrusion, fire, severe weather, and natural disaster

Why Patterson and Associates

The Patterson and Associates team brings decades of law enforcement experience into the regulated cannabis industry. Beyond training, the firm builds custom security plans for licensees, advises on security equipment selection, and runs top-to-bottom facility reviews ahead of commencement inspection. The training reflects that operational work, so the material is built around what inspectors and investigators actually look for rather than generic security theory.

How the course works

The course is online and self-paced, so your team can complete it on any device on their own schedule. Managers can assign it across a facility roster, track progress by location, and pull completion certificates whenever a regulator asks for proof.
