19 OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the theory, principles and application of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). 2. Perform regular assessments to evaluate the impact of CPTED measures and identify new issues. 3. Implement strategies to present a positive external image that reduces the likelihood of criminal activities. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

20 THEORY AND PRINCIPLES 4 Primary Points

21 NATURAL SURVEILLANCE PRINCIPALS Increase perception that people can be seen Maximize visibility Foster positive social interactions NATURAL SURVEILLANCE SEE AND BE SEEN

22 NATURAL SURVEILLANCE SITE AND LANDSCAPE CPTED programs experienced drop in robberies ranging from 30% to 84%. (Southern California injury Prevention Research Center) Provide clear visible site lines Create multiple view points from multiple locations Avoid creation of screened hiding plans Complement natural site design with automated security systems Cameras and Emergency Phones Increase the number of Eyes - Greenways, Bike Lanes, Sidewalks, and Plazas Design space to increase the perception of

23 Use photo sensors and timers NATURAL SURVEILLANCE LIGHTING Proper lighting design Sufficient and Appropriate Lighting Avoid poor placement that create blind-spots Avoid excessive light levels Ensure potential problem areas are well lit

24 ACCESS CONTROL PRINCIPALS ACCESS CONTROL Direct pedestrians, bicycle, and vehicular flow to clearly guide people to and from destinations By selectively placing entrances and exits, decorative fencing, lighting and landscape to limit access or control flow allows for natural access control to occur. Provide clear border definition of controlled spaces.

25 ACCESS CONTROL DESIGN and IMPLEMENTATION Use roadways, walkways, fences, lighting, signage, and landscape to properly guide people. Limit the number and provide clearly identifiable points of entry. Use physical structures, fencing and landscaping to guide people to public areas and define / restrict access to non-public areas. Eliminate design features that provide access over fences, to roofs, and to upper / lower levels. Overcome distance and isolation through improved communications and design efficiencies. (Adding emergency telephones and providing shared use paths) Be aware of Movement Predictors and strategies for mitigation.

26 TERRITORIALITY TERRITORIAL REINFORCEMENT PRINCIPALS Define public, semi-public and private spaces. Develop a Sense of Ownership. Promote positive social interaction through the Definition of Space. Define the intended purpose of a space

27 TERRITORIALITY DESIGN and IMPLEMENTATION Distinguish between public and private through architecture, fencing, pavement, landscape, signage, and lighting. Maintained premises and landscaping communicates an alert and active presence. Provide public amenities and seating in public spaces to define intended uses and to attract more people. Incorporate automated systems such as motion sensor lights Display security system signage Avoid negative security elements such as cyclone fencing and razor-wire.

28 MAINTENANCE PRINCIPALS MAINTENANCE Neglected and poorly maintained spaces encourage criminal activity. Avoid the downward spiral of the Broken Window Theory

29 MAINTENANCE DESIGN and IMPLEMENTATION Operations and maintenance are keys to success. Proactive and continuous maintenance is a necessity. Develop and implement a formal maintenance plan. Regularly inspect and schedule maintenance activities. Identify modifications / improvements that should be implemented.

47 SECURITY IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST

48 CPTED STRATEGIES ARE MOST SUCCESSFUL WHEN: CPTED strategies Deter rather than Prevent criminal behavior. Incorporating CPTED design strategies in the initial design phase of a project can be significantly more cost effective and successful than trying to retrofit an existing environment. Operational costs and liability can be decreased over time with proper use of CPTED. Share the Responsibility across designers, owners, managers, the community and law enforcement. Lowering the incidence of crime has a direct impact on local economics and particularly for property owners. Education and training of CPTED strategies is key in the planning, design, and development of communities. They inconvenience the end user the least while providing significant deterrents to criminal
