$BLPG Engages Viridian Capital Advisors

Blue Line manages security operations for Colorado’s most prominent lawful cannabis dispensaries and cultivation facilities through its armed security, armored transportation and compliance investigations services. Blue Line mitigates the industry’s operating risks by staffing locations with trained, licensed and professional security personnel; transporting lawful product and currency in secure, armored and insured vehicles; and helping banks comply with federal “know your customer” requirements with on-site compliance investigations.

“Our company has been growing and expanding operations within the legal cannabis industry and adding new value-added services for our clients,” said Daniel Allen, Blue Line’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we build upon our market leadership, we knew it was time to engage the right financial and strategic advisory firm. We chose Viridian Capital Advisors because of their knowledge, presence and influence within the cannabis industry and the investment community at large.”

Scott Greiper, President of Viridian Capital Advisors, commented, “The cannabis industry is facing critical security challenges because of the lack of commercial banking opportunities and the resulting ‘cash only’ nature of cannabis dispensaries, cultivation facilities and product manufacturers. This has driven an increasingly critical need for sophisticated security solutions that solve perimeter security, insider theft, state and federal compliance, loss prevention and cash management challenges. Blue Line Protection Group is the only company in the industry that we found that provides an integrated suite of solutions that addresses these issues.”

With its new operations headquarters opening soon, Blue Line will add secure vaulting, safe deposit box and cash processing facilities to its suite of services. Its new Vaulting Services Division will offer regional financial institutions the ability to mitigate their risks by having an independent, secure, third-party facility transport and process the currency flowing through the legal marijuana industry and other cash-intensive industries throughout Colorado.
