Crime Free Multi-Housing:
The CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM is
successful because it approaches
crime on many fronts. The police cannot solve crime problems alone. Neither can
the management or residents of rental properties. However, by working together,
the end result has been the most successful approach to crimes in rental
communities.
There are three (3) ways criminal activity comes into a rental community:
1) The criminal lives there,
2) They visit friends there,
3) They come to the property to commit crimes.
The CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM addresses all three of these
possibilities. By not
renting to people with criminal intent, they not only
reduce the likelihood of crime in the
community, they also reduce the number of
visitors who come to the property with criminal
intent (i.e., to purchase/sell drugs).
For the opportunistic criminal, the use of C.P.T.E.D. (Crime Prevention
Through Environmental
Design) has been used
to combat crimes that might occur in
the parking lots or common
areas.
This includes assaults, robberies, drive-by
shootings, and auto thefts.
If the police, property managers and residents will make a dedicated effort
to crime prevention and the CRIME FREE MULTI-HOUSING PROGRAM, the outlook for
success is extremely
high. Good
luck as you endeavor to make our community a
safer
place to live and enjoy for many years to
come.
