Florida MMTC Security: What OMMU Actually Requires (2026)
A plain-English walk-through of Florida's Office of Medical Marijuana Use security requirements for dispensaries and cultivation.
Florida's Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) sets clear expectations for security at Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers. Understanding them keeps your license and reduces your loss exposure.
Armed officer requirements
MMTCs are required to maintain a licensed armed security presence during operational hours at retail dispensaries and cultivation facilities.
Officers must hold a valid Florida Class G Statewide Firearm License.
Physical security requirements
Alarm monitoring must be continuous and reported to OMMU.
Perimeter cameras, product-storage cameras, and vault cameras with 45-day retention are the working standard.
Vault-open procedures require dual-person control.
Transport requirements
Cannabis transport requires GPS-tracked vehicles, manifest documentation, and (in practice) armed transport officers between facilities.
What OMMU inspectors actually check
Alarm logs, camera retention, officer licensing paperwork, and post orders. Ranger delivers all of the above audit-ready every day.
