Crime Free Multihousing is a state-of-the-art crime prevention program
- Reduce crime, drugs, and gang activity on apartment properties.
- Three phases certified by a law enforcement Crime Free Coordinator.
Crime Free Multihousing Program Origins
This program was first successfully developed at the Mesa, Arizona Police Department in 1992. The International Crime Free Programs have since spread to nearly 2,000 cities in 44 US states, 5 Canadian Provinces, Mexico, England, Finland, Japan, Russia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Puerto Rico. Australia has also expressed interest in adopting the Crime Free Programs in the future.
Crime Free Multihousing: Three Certification Phases
The program consists of three phases that must be completed under the supervision of the local law enforcement agency.
- Property managers become individually certified after completing phase-one training.
- The property itself becomes certified upon successful completion of all three phases.
The anticipated benefits are reduced police calls for service, a more stable resident base, and reduced exposure to civil liability.
The program begins with the training of police agency coordinators who will administer the program in their jurisdiction. Each Crime Free Multihousing Coordinator receives 24 hours of intensive training and becomes certified as an instructor of the program.
The Crime Free Program Coordinators return to their cities and begin the provide training and certify apartment managers and properties in their community. Fully certified properties have reported reductions in police calls for service by up to 70% over previous years.
The heart and soul of the program are in the correct implementation and use of the Crime Free Multihousing Lease Addendum.
