CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN
(CPTED)
CPTED (pronounced SEP-TED), stands for Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design and is based on the following premise: "That the proper design
and effective use of a built environment can lead to a reduction in the
fear and incidence of crime, and thus a better quality of life".
In short, CPTED concepts indicate that the better we manage our physical
resources, the greater our profits and lower our losses.
When you request a free CPTED Survey, a Crime Prevention Specialist trained
in these concepts will conduct an on-site walk through of your property
in order to identify possibilities for ways to make it more secure, in
the following areas of emphasis:
Clink Link for examples:
