New Training From NCPC!

NCPC is adding a new course to its repertoire. This one deals with campus safety.

By Sarita Coletrane, NCPC Staff

This fall, watch for the latest addition to NCPC’s diverse training repertoire, Making Your Campus Safer: Assessing Risks and Liabilities. This course is intended to assist campus law enforcement executives and campus administrators in establishing an action plan for their campuses and universities to reduce campus crime through the methodologies of comprehensive risk assessment and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. A few of the objectives for this course are to

• Demonstrate how the principals of CPTED are integral to a comprehensive risk assessment
• Identify potential partnerships among law enforcement executives, security personnel, students, staff, and administrators
• Recognize the potential financial benefits of crime prevention
• Discuss challenges, barriers, and solutions to creating a comprehensive crime prevention plan
