Security and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Surveys
Upon request, University Police will conduct a on campus security survey and make
recommendations to improve area security. Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) involves a survey of the physical, mechanical and organizational structure
of a location to identify features which may contribute to unwanted behaviors such as
criminal acts. CPTED and crime prevention are directly related in that a CPTED survey
often results in crime prevention recommendations. Eligibility for a CPTED survey is
generally predicated upon the existence of a current problem related to crime and is
conducted upon request.
