Dear Members and Friends –
We have quite a few updates for you this month.
CPTED Certification Class
WSCPA CPTED Certification Class, Issaquah, WA, March 2023
We had a tremendous Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) certification class this past March in Issaquah. Many thanks to the City of Issaquah for hosting us. Because of the overwhelming interest in this class (we had more attendees than we could comfortably fit in the room), we will be holding a second CPTED Certification Class this calendar year. This class will be hosted by the Everett Police Department, October 17-19, 2023, at their South Precinct (1121 SE Everett May Way, Everett, WA 98208). You will find the training announcement and registration link here.
40-Hour Basic Crime Prevention Course
Our 2023 40-hour Basic Crime Prevention course will be June 19-23, 2023, in Richland, Washington. Our thanks to the Richland Police Department for hosting this training. Registration is live and we still have room. If you, your colleague(s) or others you may know are interested in receiving this training, please register soon to reserve your spot. Upon completion of this training, you will be certified by the WSCPA as a Crime Prevention Practitioner. You will find the training announcement and registration link for this class here.
Crime Prevention Thursdays
We hope you have enjoyed our Crime Prevention Thursday offerings so far. If you missed our last one on Place Based Crime Prevention, it is viewable on our YouTube Channel. In fact, we have several previous sessions on our Youtube Channel. To get to them, follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcjWoc5u26Ee7hJweR1Y2Gw. We will continue to post more content for you to view at your leisure. As we post more content, you will be able to view those as well.
Our next Crime Prevention Thursday, May 18th at 11am via Zoom, will feature the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). The NICB is the nation's premier not-for-profit organization dedicated exclusively to fighting insurance fraud and crime. Join us to learn about the NICB, the core pillars of their work, and how they can be a resource for us in our crime prevention and community engagement efforts. To register for this session please go here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
WSCPA Annual Crime Prevention Conference
We are well underway in planning our annual Crime Prevention Conference, which will be held at the Olympia Hotel at Capitol Lake in Olympia Washington, September 19-20, 2023. We have an exciting lineup planned for you and will have a tentative schedule, as well as conference registration information, available on our website very shortly. I will send you notice when those have been added.
Thank You, All, and thank you for everything you do for our communities.
Be Well and Stay Safe!
