Message from WSCPA President - Mark Solomon
Dear Members and Friends -
Happy April, everyone! We wanted to take a moment to share a few items with you.
Check Out Our New Website
We have a new look to our website. There are some new features that are exclusive to our members and member organizations, such as our Crime Prevention Library and past recordings of Crime Prevention Thursday. When you have a moment, please check it out. https://www.wscpa.net/
CPTED Training
We will be holding our Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) certification class in Spokane at Gonzaga University April 16-18. Our thanks to Gonzaga’s Campus Security & Public Safety Department and Spokane C.O.P.S. for hosting us.
Crime Prevention Thursday
While we will be involved in our CPTED training on Thursday April 18th, we will still hold Crime Prevention Thursday for those who will not be in Spokane with us. Our April 18th topic will be Summer Community Programming and Engagement. With many of our member agencies participating in Drug Take Back Day, Shred-a-thons, Night Out and other Crime Prevention and Community Outreach efforts over the next few months, join your colleagues in a discussion about what is planned, how they were organized, who was partnered with, and how you can possibly replicate those efforts in your community. This session will be facilitated by Rebekah Ziesemer, WSCPA Region 3 Director and Community Programs Coordinator for Olympia PD. To register for our 11am Pacific Time Crime Prevention Thursday Session, please go here.
Crime Prevention Conference
We are excited about what we have in store for you at our annual Crime Prevention Conference September 17-18, 2024, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Wenatchee. Some of the workshops we have planned for you include:

Annual Awards are back!
After a few years’ hiatus, we are bringing back our annual Crime Prevnetion Awards, which will be presented at our conference on Wednesday the 18th during the buffet lunch. We will honor Outstanding Crime Prevention Program, Volunteer of the year, Crime Prevention Unit of the Year, Crime Prevention Practitioner of the Year, The President’s Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
