Making Your Campus Safer: Assessing Risks and Liabilities

The National Crime Prevention Council and experienced college crime prevention practitioners designed the Advanced Campus Crime Prevention curriculum. This one and one-half day course will provide the key information, best practices, strategies, and financial benefits that will help campus executives and administrators create an action plan designed to reduce campus crime. This will be attained through the methodologies of comprehensive risk assessment, liability issues, and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles.

This training is for top campus officials. This includes, but is not limited to, campus executives and administrators, campus law enforcement executives, campus crime prevention practitioners, and those responsible for deciding crime prevention and campus safety practices and policies for campuses and universities.
