The program includes three phases to achieve a safe environment: Phase I is an eight-hour management training course taught by the police (Green certificate); Phase II is a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) survey administered by the police (Red certificate); and Phase III is community awareness training, held as a social event, in which management of rental-housing property and police teach crime prevention to the residents (Blue certificate). This free eight hour course will cover principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED); applicant screening; evictions; Police Management Partnerships; Drug, Gang warning signs and Crime Prevention. Lunch will be from noon to 1 p.m. All attendees will receive a certificate signifying completion of the first phase of training in the "Crime Free Multi Housing Program."
