DENVER, Oct. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a highly competitive and growing field of security services companies supporting the U.S. legal cannabis industry, Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s (OTC Pink:MJNA) subsidiary, Wellness Managed Services’ MPS International (MPSI), rose above the rest. MPSI is proud to announce that it has been selected as the event security services provider to the National Cannabis Summit held at the Sheraton Downtown Denver October 12th – 13th at 1550 Court Pl, Denver, CO 80202.
According to the National Cannabis Summit website, the event combines three networking groups into one and provides businesses a distinct advantage by uniting business owners from around the country. The event is being held at the epicenter of the legalized cannabis movement: Denver, Colorado.
In addition to the stringent requirements of event venues, cannabis security is a rapidly growing industry for growers and retailers; all must comply with state and local government mandates. MPSI is no stranger to providing security services at historic events that include Seattle Hempfest and Denver’s “420” events.
"It is an honor for MPS International, Inc. to win the National Cannabis Summit’s event security services contract," said MPS International Account/Security Manager Sam Grothe. "The field of competitors is loaded, so we consider ourselves very fortunate to provide event security services at such a prestigious event. We have the utmost respect for our competition and we are extremely happy to be in such good company."
Led by veterans in the physical security industry since 1967, including CEO Michael Julian, MPSI emerged in January 2014 and has proudly served the legal cannabis industry. The Murrieta, California-based Company has expanded its reach to serve multiple legalized medical and recreational marijuana states including an office in Denver, Colorado. MPSI offers armed and unarmed officers to protect marijuana businesses. Many of MPSI’s security officers are former military, law enforcement or are looking to enter the law enforcement profession.
Industry-specific services provided by MPSI include: armed and unarmed security for retail and grow operations, electronic security and surveillance, armored and low-profile vehicle transport of inventory and cash, compliance oversight, and workplace protection for medical and adult recreational use.
In addition to CNN Money and Bloomberg Business, MPSI was featured by Bloomberg TV and at an international cannabis business-to-business conferences by: Fox 5 News, ABC 13 and CBS 8 in Las Vegas. For more information on MPSI, visit www.Security-MPSI.com.
