September 2026

Dear Members and Friends –

 

Happy September! This year has sure flown by, but your Washington State Crime Prevention Association still has more to offer you this year!

 

Our next feature in the ongoing Crime Prevention Thursday series is scheduled for September 17th 2026, at 11am. The topic for this Crime Prevention Thursday will be Cyber Crime, including the various types and prevention measures. Our speaker will be Detective Matt Torok, from the Lynden Police Department, and a member of the U.S. Secret Service Cyber Fraud Task Force. To register for this and future Crime Prevention Thursday sessions, please register here.

 

Congratulations to our 23 newly certified Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) practitioners! WSCPA recently provided a CPTED training course hosted by the Vancouver Police Department.

After completing three days of training and a practical exam that allowed participants to apply their newly gained knowledge, we are proud to celebrate all of those who successfully earned their CPTED practitioner certification. Click here for more information about this training and keep an eye on our website for when our next class is scheduled. If your department or agency is interested in hosting a CPTED training, please reach out to us at info@wscpa.net.

 

This month, the WSCPA will be presenting and networking at two conferences across Washington State. On September 24th – a few of your Board of Directors will be presenting at the Washington Association of Code Enforcement Conference. And on September 29th – we will represent the WSCPA at the Washington State Fusion Center Conference. We hope to see some of you at these conferences, and we look forward to expanding our networks.

 

 

We look forward to welcoming you all to the 48th annual conference at the Icicle Village Resort in Leavenworth Washington, October 26-28, 2026. This year, we have reached out far and wide to bring you a phenomenal line-up of presenters, such as our Keynote Speaker: Det. Jason White, of Tulsa PD and A&E’s The First 48, representatives from the New York Police Department’s Counterterrorism Division, and many more.

Did you know that WSCPA is also celebrating our 50-year anniversary! Join us at our networking reception held during the conference to celebrate. Our registration link for the conference is live!
