Cannabis Dispensary Robbery Incident Report Template

When a robbery or theft occurs at your cannabis dispensary, having a standardized, thorough incident documentation process is critical for law enforcement coordination, insurance claims, workplace safety compliance, and protecting your business and employees.

This Cannabis Dispensary Robbery Incident Report template is specifically designed for cannabis retailers who need to quickly and accurately document security incidents involving theft, product loss, and employee safety. Whether you operate a medical marijuana dispensary, recreational cannabis store, or hybrid retail location, this template helps you capture every essential detail immediately after an incident occurs.

Why cannabis dispensaries need specialized incident reporting

Cannabis retail operates under unique regulatory requirements, strict inventory tracking mandates, and heightened security concerns. When a robbery occurs, you're not just dealing with a criminal incident—you're also managing:

State cannabis compliance requirements that mandate detailed inventory tracking and loss reporting
Employee safety and workers' compensation documentation for any injuries sustained
Law enforcement coordination with local police and potentially state cannabis regulators
Insurance claims that require comprehensive evidence and documentation
Security system review to improve future prevention measures

This template brings all of these elements together in one organized form that your team can complete quickly, even in the stressful moments following an incident.

What this template covers

The form walks your team through documenting:

Incident basics: date, time, location within the facility, and who's filing the report
Robbery details: how the incident unfolded, number of perpetrators, weapons involved, and timeline
Employee injuries: detailed injury documentation for workers' compensation and medical coordination
Stolen product inventory: strain names, product types, quantities, batch numbers, and estimated value to meet cannabis compliance tracking
Law enforcement engagement: police report numbers, officer names, evidence collected, and follow-up coordination
Security system review: camera footage availability, alarm response, and security protocol assessment
Witness information: employee and customer witness statements and contact details
