Leading cannabis secured transport company calls for increased regulation of cannabis transport and security in light of recent industry theft

ALMONTE, Ontario, Dec. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 3 Sixty Risk Solutions Ltd. (“3 Sixty” or the “Company”) (CSE: SAFE) (OTCQB: SAYFF) (FSE: 62P2), which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3 Sixty Secure Corp., calls for increased regulation of cannabis transport and security in light of recent industry theft, and provides overview of services in relation to safe and secure movement of cannabis within Canada.

“The recent theft of a legal producer’s cannabis held in-transit by a third-party provider highlights the necessity for cannabis-specific secure transport within the chain-of-custody as a critical risk-mitigation initiative,” said Thomas Gerstenecker, founder and CEO of 3 Sixty. “While Health Canada has published important and useful guidance on cannabis transportation, we encourage regulators to go a step further to create, implement and audit regulations that protect clients, cargo and communities.”

In 2019, 3 Sixty’s secure transport line of service has scaled across the country to enable effective and efficient movement of cannabis. To date, the company has moved more than 6,500 shipments of legal cannabis without incident.
