Crime Free Association
7th Annual Conference
Riverside, California
July 11-13, 2005
Crime Free Conference
If you can only attend one crime prevention conference this year ... attend this one! This is the Seventh International Conference held on the Crime Free Programs topic. This 2005 conference is hosted by the Riverside Police Department. The first six annual Crime Free Association conferences were a resounding success. We invite you to join together with Crime Free Coordinators, police officers, security experts, crime prevention specialists, and property owners/managers as we work together towards a goal of a Crime Free tomorrow.
Cutting Edge Programs:
- Crime Free Multi-Housing
- Crime Free Rental Housing
- Crime Free Condominiums
- Crime Free Mobile-Housing
- Crime Free Mini-Storage
- Crime Free Hotel-Motel
- Crime Free Lifestyles Program
This conference will have information for you regardless if you're new to crime prevention or an experienced professional. Have you tried to implement a targeted Crime Prevention program before and found that crime statistics didn't go down? The Crime Free programs are different! Each program has shown a statistical reduction in police calls for service (as tracked by the Mesa, Arizona Police Department). The programs have been implemented all over North America...and they work!
Who Should Attend?
This training is ideal for law enforcement and the business community that deals with rental housing, condominiums, hotels, motels, mini-storage, and manufactured-housing. Regardless of your experience level, you are guaranteed to learn something new at this conference.
For interested law enforcement professionals, there will be certification courses taught. This will be a "train the trainer" format taught by professionals currently running the programs in their jurisdiction.
For experienced professionals, who are already been running one or more programs, we will offer development courses with "cutting edge" information and improvements that have been created by the various jurisdictions and communities. These classes will fill in the gaps in your training and take you to a new advanced level.
For the business professional and property owner/manager, learn how to make your business safer and how to work with the police. Everyone wins when we work together!
