Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
Environmental Design Crime Prevention Philosophy
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED, is a crime prevention philosophy that attempts to apply physical design, citizen participation, and law enforcement strategies in a comprehensive way to protect neighborhoods or facilities.
The Police Department's Crime Prevention Unit can provide a free CPTED Security Survey for your home or business. The survey can help you protect your home or business by reducing the opportunities for crime to occur. The reduction of crime is achieved by employing physical design features that discourage crime while at the same time encouraging legitimate use of the neighborhood, facility, or business.
