Crime prevention, that is, “the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it,” should be one of the highest priorities of every law enforcement agency. The principles and skills associated with crime prevention have never been more important than they are today.
Every public law enforcement agency should have specially trained crime prevention specialists who possess detailed knowledge of both contemporary crime prevention techniques and strategies.
With the adoption of community policing and problem-solving initiatives, coupled with the realistic concern about future terrorist attacks, crime prevention has taken on a dimension of importance never before experienced.
To be effective, crime prevention officers or specialists must possess a wide range of technical skills and programmatic knowledge seldom provided in traditional law enforcement training. They require crime prevention training specific to the areas of knowledge they will need to be proficient in to serve as competent crime prevention specialists. In areas such as locks and locking systems, security alarm systems, lighting and lighting systems, electronic access control, CCTV, security surveys, etc., crime prevention officers and specialists should serve as the primary information resource for their respective departments.
The 2007 Basic Crime Prevention Certification Seminar is a comprehensive two-week training program for crime prevention officers and specialists. The curriculum for this seminar includes each of the subjects necessary to qualify seminar participants as a certified crime prevention specialist.
Individuals who attend and successfully complete this two-week training program will be certified by the American Crime Prevention Institute (ACPI) as a Crime Prevention Specialist. In addition to being certified by the American Crime Prevention Institute, we will be happy to provide the course curriculum, lesson plans, instructor vitas and handout material as documentation for your state certification agency upon request. Upon successful completion of the program, seminar participants will receive the following:
The 2007 Basic Crime Prevention Certification Seminar will be held October 29-November 9, 2007 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.
Attendance at the 2007 Basic Crime Prevention Certification Seminar will be limited. Passage of a written test covering all of the topic areas will be required for successful completion of the course. Individuals who complete the course but do not pass the comprehensive test will not be certified as a Crime Prevention Specialist.
The 2007 Basic Crime Prevention Certification Seminar is intended for both crime prevention officers and specialists. Personnel who successfully complete this program will be certified by the American Crime Prevention Institute and will be able to effectively carry out and complete comprehensive crime prevention responsibilities.
