Message from WSCPA President - Mark Solomon
Dear Members and Friends –
It has been a very active time for the Washington State Crime Prevention Association.
CPTED Certification Course
This October, we held our 2nd WSCPA CPTED Certification course for 2023, hosted by the Everett Police Department. We are grateful to Everett PD for hosting and thank all of those who attended. The breadth of our class participants was inspiring, from Law Enforcement to Code Enforcement, from School Districts to Business Improvement Areas. Attendees travelled from Banbridge, Bellingham, Edmonds, Everett, Federal Way, Puyallup, Redmond, and Tacoma. Even Bently (and his human, Rebekah) travelled from Olympia to be with us!
45th Annual Crime Prevention Conference
In September, we held the 45th Annual WSCPA Crime Prevention Conference in Olympia. We had an incredible array of work workshops, presenters, and vendors. It was great to see you all there. A special thanks to all who attended, to the Olympia Hotel at Capitol Lake for hosting us, and to our very special Keynote Speaker, Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison.
We have uploaded pdfs of the workshop presentations to our webpage. You can find them by going to the ‘Conferences’ tab on our website and selecting ‘2023 Workshop Presentations’. If you missed the conference, or want to refresh yourself with what was presented, please visit this page. We hope to add more presentations soon.
