Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a proactive approach to security that examines how a property's physical environment can influence safety and opportunities for crime.
Our assessments identify vulnerabilities and provide practical recommendations to improve security throughout your property.
Florida law establishes security measures that may provide qualifying multifamily property owners and operators with a presumption against liability for certain third-party criminal acts when substantially implemented. These measures include maintaining a qualifying CPTED assessment that is no more than three years old.
Improve visibility through thoughtful lighting, landscaping, windows, and clear sightlines.
Guide people through clearly defined entrances, exits, pathways, gates, and access points.
Clearly define public, private, and shared spaces to promote ownership and discourage unauthorized activity.
Maintain buildings, landscaping, lighting, and common areas to demonstrate active property care and oversight.
Parking lots, walkways, entrances and common areas are evaluated for lighting conditions and overall visibility.
Review camera placement and coverage around property entrances, exits and other important areas.
Evaluate gates, entrances, access points and restricted areas for potential security vulnerabilities.
Review locks, deadbolts, entry points and other physical security features throughout the property.
Identify vegetation, obstructions and environmental conditions that may limit visibility or create concealment areas.
Evaluate pools, parking areas, pathways, gathering spaces and other shared areas throughout the property.
