CRI now offers the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) course, accredited by the International CPTED Association. CPTED aims to enhance participants' understanding of their immediate physical environment. By altering this perception, participants can better grasp the direct relationship between the environment, human behavior, and crime. Understanding the design, management, and effective use of the environment is crucial for successful crime prevention efforts. While CPTED is not a complete solution to community problems, it provides tools to eliminate or reduce environmental obstacles to social, cultural, or managerial control. Importantly, CPTED does not require extensive technical knowledge. For it to be an effective community crime prevention strategy, basic CPTED concepts must be easily understood by as many people as possible. The following learning objectives are essential for the successful application of CPTED in your community. Topics Covered: Access control, Surveillance, Territoriality, Legitimate activity support, Management and Maintenance strategies, Classifications of strategy, The 3-D concept CPTED Matrix, Increasing the effort Risk   Reducing the rewards, Removing the excuses,   CPTED assessment and survey process,   Assessing crime potential within different environments,  Identifying crime and safety hazards,  Developing plans to prevent environmentally induced crimes, Assessing security liability in the built environment and how to reduce premises liability, Examining the impact of road closures, barricades, gatehouses, and traffic calming, Practical applications of lighting towards improving surveillance Importance of protecting critical  infrastructure from attacks, Applications of CPTED in schools, multifamily housing, commercial and mixed-use environments 40 TCOLE hours | CPTED Practical Assessment
