We want to thank those that attended our basic Crime Prevention Certification Course the last week of February. It was great to have attendees from across Washington State – and from Oregon – at our training. A huge thank you to Snohomish County Sherrif’s Office for hosting us.

WSCPA Board, Leavenworth, WA March 5, 2025
Our Crime Prevention Board is working hard to support our mission of preventing crime, reducing criminal opportunities, and protecting communities across Washington! At our recent board retreat in Leavenworth, we updated the Association Bylaws, instituted a Conflict-of-Interest policy, mapped out the Crime Prevention Thursday offerings for the remainder of 2025 (please see below), reviewed training curriculum to make improvements, and discussed exciting plans for the future, including outreach and collaboration with other Crime prevention Associations throughout North America. Stay Tuned!
Upcoming training and events - mark your calendars and register!
