Topic: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): The Basics

Interested in learning how you can reduce vulnerabilities to crime and unwanted activity on your property or targeted at your employees? Learn about how to assess the built and natural environment of a property and implement solutions, based on the concepts of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), so that you can increase opportunity and feelings of safety. Gain an understanding of the concept of placemaking and the positive effects it can have on property and community safety. This holistic approach to property and employee safety is both effective and easy.
