C Building Security Procedures Plan Blüm Oakland has enjoyed four years of safe operations without incident. During this time, Michael Yoell and Core Security Solutions have maintained oversight of operational and security plans and procedures. Blum Oakland’s security protocols have evolved to ensure a safe and secure dispensary facility that provides security to its members and staff, protects human life and public safety, but does so transparently, while remaining responsive to the needs of the city and regional law enforcement. An efficient time-proven comprehensive security plan has evolved to continue fulfill these commitments. The Blüm SL security plan has been developed to benefit from these proven security measures. For example, access to the Blum SL dispensary facility will be limited to employees, patients, and visitors approved under City regulations and those set forth by the City Municipal Code. The proposed Security Plan, described below, has been amended to ensure full compliance with regulations outlined in SLMC Title 4 Chapter 4-33. Blüm SL’s safe operational practices and regular training will help ensure compliance with all guidelines and regulations. General Security Policies As discussed in the Blum SL original submission the security plan includes measures to control ingress, egress and area specific access, perimeter security, and to provide product security. These plans include without limitation deterring and preventing unauthorized entrance into areas containing cannabis, and theft of cannabis. Blüm SL has a comprehensive risk, mitigation and response protocol, carefully developed to ensure that patients and staff thrive in a safe and secure environment. Facility protocols are constantly reevaluated and updated as necessary. Security Infrastructure and policies Blüm SL will install and maintain a state of the art security surveillance system to electronically monitor all areas and record the dispensary facility twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. Monitored areas include cannabis dispensing and storage areas, all perimeter entry points, windows, areas adjacent to the property, any parking areas and all areas determined by the Chief of Police. Per SLMC Title 4 Chapter 4- 33-500 subsection 16 (d) (1) & (2), the surveillance system will be of adequate quality, color, rendition, and resolution to identify any individual on the premises or its adjacent areas. The surveillance system will automatically archive all recordings onto a digital server for review by management, local law enforcement, the City of San Leandro staff, or any other State authorities for not less than 30 days. A state of the art cardkey system, programmed for specific staff access to authorized areas of the facility will be provided. Issuance of card keys to each staff person ensures electronic access only to authorized secure areas, while providing digital evidence of the card usage for future review. Immediate deactivation of the card keys is possible, when authorized by facility management. Established limited access areas will be accessible only to specifically authorized personnel, and all finished cannabis will be stored in a secure, locked device, display case, 430
