Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has been successful in impacting crime around the world, yet it is still relatively misunderstood.  

This training is intended to introduce attendees to the concept and principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, Target hardening and Situational Crime Prevention, as they complement one another.  This introductory class is specifically designed for those with little knowledge of the research leading to the principles and application of CPTED.  This course also delves into the relationship of CPTED to other modern crime prevention philosophies and practices.   

The course will provide the student with a foundational understanding of the importance that the environment plays in potential to generate crime, as well as how efficiently crime can be prevented through properly addressing the environment. 

Students will be introduced to the proactive application of the principles of CPTED by an instructor with practical experience and success in impacting crime in multiple environments through their use. The instructor’s logical common sense approach to CPTED will provide even the novice with the skills to read the built environment, apply considerations learned, and make recommendations to lessen the conditions most favorable for crime to flourish.    Using photographs, exercises, lecture and video the students will leave prepared to examine homes and structures for crime vulnerabilities.
