School CPTED Training Basic Overview and Agenda

 This course allows participants to use advanced Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies and solutions to promote safety, orderly behavior, and a reduction of fear in the school environment.  There are technical sessions on transportation, signage, landscaping, and lighting.  Additionally, participants are guided through a comprehensive school assessment process followed by a real assessment of a school.  Working in teams which consist of law enforcement, school administrators, staff, teachers, parents, students, and designers, participants will develop, prioritize, and present feasible recommendations for improving safety and comfort of students and staff.
