Commercial Restoration Company Participates in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Study
STUART, Fla. — As part of their commitment to safety, Venture Construction Group of Florida (VCGFL) participated in the Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute (FCPTI) survey assessment on Feb. 21 at their Stuart office location. The Florida Attorney General’s Office hosted a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) course at the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. FCPTI offers instructional classes for law enforcement officers on CPTED. Attendees include representatives from agencies throughout Florida. As part of their coursework, law enforcement stopped by local participating Martin County businesses to conduct crime prevention surveys and assess pros and cons of safety throughout the business property.
“This was a really unique program and we are honored to be a part of it. We will always say yes to advancing safety and preventing crime. This was an excellent opportunity to make sure our office is secure and safe for our employees and clients,” says Stephen Shanton, CEO and president, Venture Construction Group of Florida.
The CPTED class teaches law enforcement personnel about proper design and effective use of the physical environment to achieve a more productive use of space while reducing the opportunity for crime.
The class provides skills to deliver a comprehensive CPTED program to Florida’s residential and commercial industries and local government. One of the assignments Is to visit different locations throughout the county and apply the skills they learned during a site survey, then present the findings. VCGFL office headquarters in Stuart served as a test site.
The Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute (FCPTI) has provided training since 1982 with successful Florida practitioner designation programs in Crime Prevention, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, Elder Crime, School Resource Officer and Victim Services.
