Q: What drew your organization to become a member of the SCTA?

Q: What is an exciting development in the industry you’ve recently seen? What excites you about it?
A: The growth of the legal cannabis industry in the United States has been a welcome and exciting development for Elite Tactical while planning our company’s roadmap. It provides a huge opportunity for growth for companies involved in security, secure transport, and the cash industry. While the legal cannabis industry is still relatively new in most jurisdictions, developing standard operating procedures for transportation and security will be paramount. This is something Elite Tactical has already been developing in anticipation of further legalization and growth and it is our mission to become the leading authority in the Midwest for this industry. Maintaining a dynamic approach as legal cannabis grows will provide a tremendous opportunity for CIT and secure transport in the very near future.
Q: What are the biggest challenges the cash industry will face in the next 1-3 years? Why?
A: Maintaining a premier workforce is one of the biggest challenges the cash industry faces not just in the coming years, but presently. Maintaining teams of agents that uphold Elite's principles of "Integrity, Professionalism, Security" as well as working under Elite's motto: "Perfection is the Standard." is something that our company has committed to upholding. In order to maintain the credibility and trust that is needed to be a leader the cash industry, our agents must be best-in-class. We accomplish this by leading the nation in our agent compensation packages. We use highly developed modes of testing and have rigorous standards for all of our agents including not only background checks like most companies, but human intelligence courses, stress training, and continuing education tools to maintain teams that provide the level of service and class that our clients expect and deserve.
