Commission Recommendation On January 12, 2011, the Public Safety Commission recommended that the City Council authorize CAL Cops finds be utilized to host a CPTED seminar this year in the City of Palm Desert. Background CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) is defined as "the proper design and effective use of the built environment that can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The goal of CPTED is to reduce opportunities for crime that may be inherent in the design of structures or neighborhoods. Any effort to educate citizens and provide them with knowledge to protect themselves and their property is invaluable in reducing crime. The Palm Desert Police Department's proactive approach in crime prevention has included the development and participation in several crime prevention programs. Most of these following programs are managed by the Department's Community Oriented Policing (COP) Officer: Crime Free Multi -Housing Program (CFMH) Neighborhood Watch Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Staff Report: CPTED Seminar January 27, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Over the past several years COP Officers have worked diligently in developing these programs. However, the Police Department recognizes that there is a need to provide further crime prevention education within the community. The Police Department wishes to bring the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to residents and business owners within our community. They propose organizing a one -day training seminar focusing on educating our citizens on the CPTED concept and assisting them in "target hardening" their residences and businesses. The National Institute of Crime Prevention (NICP) was identified by the Department as the preferred vendor to provide this training to our citizens. NICP has expert instructors who have offered this valuable training nationwide. The Palm Desert Police Department is committed to providing viable and innovating crime prevention education and programs to the community and respectfully requests authorization to move forward with this training seminar. If approved, it is anticipated that this seminar will occur in the month of April 2011. Fiscal Analysis If approved, the total cost of this CPTED seminar is $3,835.00 and the funding source is CAL Cops funds (Account # 229-4210-422-3914).
