Why is a program of this nature important to Cannabis Compliance and Nevada County residents?
  • Unpermitted cannabis cultivation negatively impacts the environment, public safety, wildfire preparedness, and the permitted growers working to build a new industry.
  • This program will enhance enforcement efforts and the ability for staff to follow through with neighborhood complaints.
  • Other tools such as helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft are not cost-effective and time-consuming.
