Crime Free Multi-Housing Program

What Is The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program?

 

WHERE IT BEGAN

The CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM began in Mesa, Arizona in July 1992. It has spread across the United States and to Canada in a very short time. It was designed to be law enforcement driven.
 

HOW IT WORKS

The CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM is a unique, three-phase certification program for rental properties of all sizes, including single family rental homes. The first phase is the completion of a seminar taught by police personnel. In addition, guest speakers will also attend to address specific topics relating to rental properties. This police-sponsored program is designed to be easily implemented, yet extremely effective at reducing criminal activity in rental properties.
 

The CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING SEMINAR addresses these topics:

  • Understanding Crime Prevention
  • C.P.T.E.D. Concepts (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)
  • The Application Process
  • Community Rules/Leases 
  • Active Property Management                      
  • Combating Crime Problems
  • Police: To Serve and Protect?
  • Dealing with Non-Compliance
