Jacksonville, Florida-based First Coast Security, a provider of contract security services, has announced the loss of a contract with Tallahassee, Florida-based Trulieve, a vertically integrated cannabis company and multi-state operator of cannabis dispensaries and other facilities.
The contract loss will impact approximately 289 employees, including 283 armed security officers with 74 located along the Gulf Coast.
According to a statement filed with the State of Florida, "Effective January 24, 2022, First Coast Security will no longer be providing services in the Trulieve Medical Facilities, due to a change in guard status. This was determined by our client, as they chose an alternate option for Security. Due to the loss, we will be forced to lay off approximately 289 employees within the state of Florida. These locations are across the entire state of Florida from Pensacola to the Keys.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
