Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is based on the premise that you can alter the physical environment to make a business less attractive to criminals and to reduce the fear of crime. Hire us to take a look at your business' physical environment with these three basic principles of CPTED in Mind:

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
1. TERRITORIALITY
People protect territory that they feel is their own and usually respect the territory of others. Fences, pavement treatments, art, signs, good maintenance, and landscaping are some physical ways to express ownership. Identifying intruders is much easier in a well-defined space.
2. NATURAL SURVEILLANCE
Criminals don't want to be seen. Placing physical features, activities, and people in ways that maximize the ability to see what's going on discourages crime. Shadows, or such barriers as bushes or window advertisement, make it difficult to observe activity. Landscaping and lighting can be planned to promote natural surveillance from inside a building and from the outside by people passing by. Giving such "gatekeepeers" as parking lot attendants and hotel desk clerks an unrestricted view of their territory is important
