What is CPTED?
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a security strategy focused on designing and managing environments to reduce opportunities for crime.
CPTED principles emphasize:
Natural surveillance
Access control
Proper lighting and visibility
Secure property design
When these measures are implemented, properties often experience improved safety and reduced risk exposure.
How it Works ... Step by Step
• Security cameras at entry and exit points with recorded video
• Proper lighting in parking areas and walkways
• Exterior doors with deadbolts and peepholes
• Secure window and sliding door locking devices
• Controlled access to restricted areas (pool gates, service areas, etc.)
Typical CPTED Compliance Roadmap
1. CPTED Property Assessment
A certified professional evaluates the property to identify areas that may not meet Florida Statute requirements.
2. Substantial Implementation
Recommended improvements to security infrastructure and procedures are completed.
3. Employee Safety Training
Staff receive crime deterrence and safety training as outlined by the statute.
4. New Employee Training
New hires receive CPTED safety training within 60 days of employment.
5. Maintain Compliance
The property continues maintaining implemented safety measures.
6. Updated Assessment
CPTED assessments are typically updated every three years.
