ACPI CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

Campus CPTED for Colleges and Universities

A detailed series of design strategies that emphasize passive, unobtrusive methods to reduce risk, crime and cost for campus communities, new facility construction and renovations specifically for colleges and university campuses.

Crime can be directly influenced by the design of the physical environment

Reduce fear and the incidence of crime and improve quality of life

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a strategy to reduce crime and enhance the safety of a space by designing the physical environment in ways to discourage criminal behavior.
CPTED is particularly valuable for colleges and universities because these environments present unique challenges and opportunities for promoting safety while fostering an open and inclusive atmosphere.
Campus law enforcement professionals, facility planners and architects should be well versed in the principles and strategies associated with CPTED. They should subsequently work collaboratively to implement CPTED strategies for new campus building and facilities as well as renovation projects in order to minimize the occurrence of crime and provide for a safer campus environment.
