Advanced Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is based on the principle that proper design and effective use of buildings and public spaces in neighborhoods can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life.

Learn how to assess conditions in your neighborhood and apply practical access control (doors, fences), surveillance (lighting, windows, landscaping), territorial reinforcement (signs, sidewalks, ordinances), and maintenance (code enforcement, community clean ups) to improve your community, your neighborhood, and/or your home.

The Advanced CPTED course provides additional intense practical applications of the basic CPTED.  The participants will study more comprehensively lighting, landscaping, and traffic calming strategies and also review design plans and make suggestions for changes and enhancement based on previous learning.
