Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Class
Each year we work with PalmettoPride to offer a FREE two-day class on how and why to maintain properties (both commercial and residential) and make them more attractive in order to make them less attractive to criminals. This class is particularly popular with architects and law enforcement but is open to all business owners and the general public. This class normally costs over $600 but is free to anyone in any county. Registration is required. To ensure you receive information, sign up for our electronic newsletter, distributed every other month.
