Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

“The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life.” C. Ray Jefferies

“The physical environment can be manipulated to produce behavioral effects that will reduce crime. These behavioral effects can be accomplished by reducing the propensity of the physical environment to support criminal behavior.” Timothy Crowe

My Philosophy:

"Everyone has a need, and a right, to live, work, and play in a safe, crime-free environment.

Those who plan, design, build, manage, and regulate our communities and the properties in them have a legal duty and a moral obligation to provide and maintain a reasonable and adequate level of protection for every person and property

Thoughtful application of the principles embodied in the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design concept will result in enhanced security, improved safety, reduced liability exposure and increased profits

By insisting that every new building project and every redevelopment or rehabilitation project incorporate reasonable security design elements, any community can enhance the safety of its citizens and improve its economic base by offering businesses a secure, crime free environment in which to operate

Effective protection management is an on-going process requiring continuous threat assessment coupled with an aggressive threat elimination/mitigation program

Advice and guidance from an experienced protection management professional is crucial to achieving a safe, crime free environment
